>results are shitty goth ninja junk
Nope.avi

>>8495150
Why

serious answers from serious people, not ruse men

>>8495150
You might not like goofnigga but Rick's boots are dope.

>>8495152
Those are sneakers.
What kind of boots do you want, though? Do you care about how they look? Do you want pure functionality? Do you have a preference for materials, or height, or sole, or colour...?

>>8495152
saving this for example of glasses making every fit slightly worse

>>8495175
I want good solid quality
Nice, but not gay
And warm dry protection

>>8495182

Boots pls

>>8495193
>Not gay
RM Williams if you're into that, otherwise Buttero/Wolverines/Iron Rangers/Timbs/Chippewa (in roughly descending order of recommendation/'quality')
Some you can source in Aus, otherwise work out your size and order online.

>Good solid quality
>Warm dry protection
Best bet for both is getting a good leather boot, waxing/waterproofing and wearing nice warm socks underneath.
I recommend the fluffy ones from AA! =3

>>8495238
Also, a lot of the 'Aussie' workboot brands do decent, more casual boots that can look alright in a workwear-style fit, so you can have a look at them too - Steel Blue etc

>>8495238
My feet are a half size different, I have to try on and walk around in

>>8495238
When I say not gay I mean nice /fa/ not out there /fa/ggot like the assin rick owen and other shit

hey friend
I'm from Geelong
its lame
do you like living in Melbourne?

>>8495256
Yes

>>8495246
You know you can always get your foot measurements and order from someplace online (asos, whatever) that offers free/cheap shipping and returns, yeah?
I know that feel though, mine are the same :/
Pierucci's stocks Red Wings, so does Incu...? (or they used to), Hype DC stock Wolverine and Timbs, so does The Iconic; 124 Shoes in the city has some good stock.

>>8495253
Rick's boots are sick
>http://www.rickowens.eu/en/men/products/ru14s1856lms-09
Expensive, though, which is why I rec'd you the 'normal but effay' list

>>8495256
It's cool. It's expensive. Could be better, could be worse
>Geelong
RIP
sorry to hear that friend

>>8494986
whats your budget? docs or rm williams are always a safe bet, or alternatively you could try some camping/army disposal stores. i know mitchells disposals in the city usually have heaps of old military gear - not sure about boots specifically though

good luck OP!

>>8495281
Red wings have a shop in Richmond
Hype and timberland both have shops in the emporium

>>8495288
Didn't think their place in Richmond was a proper store, though - last time I checked (admittedly, a while ago) it was just distribution for online. Glad to hear they're changed it, cheers anon.
>Timberland have their own store now
what is this

>>8495287
Doesn't everyone say docs are shit now?
Rm Williams do look nice, but they're also $400+

>>8495293
docs are fine
timberlands are a safe bet
rmw are worth the money

>>8495293
>docs are shit
I can't speak for actual quality but that's because most aren't made in England anymore, and I dunno if you'd be able to cop the made in Englands locally.
Of course, you could try out same model and order online... *shrug*
>RM Williams
They're decently expensive but they are great quality, and local!

>>8495291
Go to the emporium, that new premium shopping centre they rebuilt one of the Meyers into, the one across from melb central, its in the basement

>>8495293
And red wings are looking like they're almost as much
;_;

>>8495325
What are you looking for when you say 'boots'? There's lots of boots, be specific.

>>8495325
S-sorry anon ;~;''

What's your budget? If you have a specific amount in mind we can probably help...

>>8495332
Timberland and wolverines are looking more my price range going by what's on the hype site
Can't find any info in Chippewa

These decent for Melbourne winter?

>>8495366
I hope that's not canvas

>>8495370
Cause canvas boot defeats the purpose

>>8495366
i think nubuck looks a lot better personally

>>8495370
It is. They also have leather versions.
Canvas is more comfortable.
>>8495379
Looks like it has more slender proportions.
Might b gud.

>>8495383
Canvas gets soaked through, hence my desire for boots

>>8495395
just get black timberlands

>>8495379
Is that suede? I don't know how it'll handle rain.

>>8495399
Maybe, will compare tomorrow
>>8495407
Just as bad

>>8495407
it's nubuck, waterproof
they're work boots

>>8495395
I'm not sure how practical this advice would be, but canvas shoes could be coated in hydrophobic spray to reduce soaking. Scotchgard or the Australian equivalent.
