I like 8" at the max. Anything over seems to look like women's boots in my opinion, but if you can rock it go for it. It depends on the cut of my jeans but if I'm wearing something slimmer I will tuck them in to the boot or if I'm wearing a looser cut I will let them hang over with a single 1" cuff. Typically I'll wear some darker earthy tones on top because boots seem to work well with the outdoorsy colors and look

You mean that model or the style of boot you're looking for?

I've seen plenty of boots like you're talking about but I can't really remember what they were. The sole you're looking for is generally called a wedge sole and it's often made of crepe rubber as seen on the Rick boots you posted.

If I were you I'd save up for a pair of Ricks or Guidis. Both are extremely good quality and getting exactly what you're looking for will be much better than settling for a cheaper pair that aren't as nice.

Guidi does custom work so even though they have only done a few wedge sole options you could have a pair made for you.

You'll definitely be alright in Texas. I live in MA and they're fine for a snowstorm as long as I wear decent socks.They're not marketed as waterproof but I've never had my feet get wet

Canvas Baggy is good enough
the sole rubber lasts long (so long as you don't intentionally grind the shit out of them)
and the canvas is durable (waxable) and the dye will fade at the creases making them look better

if you really want proper leather milsurp, "Belgian" boots are decent
I asked an ebay seller, and they're 10 inch from the ground (9 inch from sole)

I was gonna cop this over Austrians but I would have to install speed hooks myself

I'm looking around; some of the boots look all right.

Thanks for the feedback, friends. I'm leaning towards the grey/black canvas baggy, especially since I found it on Zappos for $55. I think I can work them into some subtle starwarscore fits and maybe even get some wear out of them in the summer.

> Install speed hooks myself
I'm waiting on delivery of a pair of 8 eye Solovair Derby's, and you've piqued my interest. My ankles are quite slim, so usually getting boots on or off takes a little time.

To compensate, or maybe out of laziness, I often just don't lace the top one or two eyes, but the idea of replacing the top two eyes with speed hooks sounds like it could be a cool compromise.

Depending on how I lace them, they might look weird, but I'm sure there's a way around that.

How hard is it to install these myself? I'm pretty handy, but I'm also not afraid of just going to a cobbler.

Any pics of this irl? A quick Google search didn't show me anything...

Also considering either bleaching white or dyeing black the pull tab on these...How careful do I need to be with not letting the bleach/dye touch the leather? Would I be better off sourcing new fabric and sewing in new tabs myself (or by a cobbler)?

I haven't seen Solovairs with speed hooks but this is what speed hooks look like
you can try to install them yourself like this:

but I am sure a cobbler somewhere has some sort of machine that can easily set ones you bring to him like this:

Hey man don't know if you're still here but I'm also interested in buying some boots but before I pull the trigger are they true to size or should one size up/down?

Things to avoid
>wedge soled boots
>wool caps worn from the back of your head not the top
>traditional workwear items that have never been used for work
>glasses that look like they're academic paired with clothes that look industrial

Do you have any other suggestions? I see Damir Doma has good wedge/crepe sole boots of this variety, as well.
