If boots develop a small but deepish tear how would a cobbler fix it, is it worth taking to a professional (£££) as opposed to just sealing it with two part epoxy, they're on their way out anyway

I have some really beat lambskin leather shoes that were originally over $1k but I got for 440 cuz they were beat to sht by the original owner sadly. I want to keep as natural as I can and really dont want any other color or anything added but they look all scratched up in the front, so I am wondering if I take them to a boot place what would they do if the boots have many scratches? I dont want them using cheap stuff they can use to clean crappy leathers and fake synthetic faux leathers to clean my gorgeous lambskin leather :( attached is a pic of the boots but they dont look too bad in picture but look way way worse if you saw them in real life. should i keep them like this or take them to get worked on

What's the appeal of the ankle boot like pic related?

I always wear taller lace up boots (10 or 14 eye) and they feel secure around my legs, tough around my feet, and I think they look good.
When I used to wear something like pic related type of ankle boots they feel kind of flimsy, don't fir the foot as well, and aren't really much thougher or more secure than my lower sneaker shoes, I also don't like the way they look.

It's purely aesthetic. It's true, if you really want ankle support and protection you should have at least 8 inch boots, maybe more. But 6 inch is a classic look evocative of early 20th century work and military styles.

Ordered a pair of brown-greasy derby boots from the official Solovair website. Pic is what arrived.
I tried contacting them asking if the pics on the website are just misleading or they actually sent me the wrong boots (which are not anywhere on the website... some old collection leftovers?).

It's not that I don't like them; they still look pretty fuckin' good... it's just not what I paid for.
Probably going to keep 'em anyway since I'm not willing to pay 30-40 bucks in shipping costs.

That's what I also thought at first, however a quick google search gave me this, which looks much more like the ones I received, reason why I got more confused. Eyelets aren't brown, the sole isn't as yellowish and the label is much greener.

Almost the same. It's more fun to kick stuff, and before fully breaking your boots in, you might feel a little pinch just behind the toe-cap. Otherwise, it's more roomy on the toe-cap but nothing else to write home about. Unless you actually need them for work. It might depend on the model of the boot, my steel-toed pair is just a basic (older MiE) 14-eyelet + steel-toe-pair, is the pair you ordered more like pic related?

Those are GREASE LEATHER Solovairs. Hi-shine is like in >>12737280 and all Docs are hi-shine-leather. Greasy leather is grease because it is pre-dubbed and pre-saturated with oils and stuff, to keep it more water-resistant.

I ended up getting the Crockett and Jones Northcote boots. Here is a quick pic of them next to my J.Crew Aldens that set off metal detectors. C&J uses wood shanks instead of steel, so I don't have to take my boots off when going through security anymore.

I'm a 9US in Alden's Barrie last, and I ordered a 8.5UK for the Northcote. Both are around the same width, but the C&Js are about half an inch longer due to the pointier toe.

It's definitely larger than the Beckman toe box, which is in turn bigger than the Wolverine. I bought wolverines after looking at Beckmans and iron rangers because I wanted a cheap boot that was sleek but would look good beat to hell in a few years. The only other boots I can think of in that category are Thursday's various models which I'm pretty sure also use chromexcel leathers but I went for wolverines because I've heard that Thursday qc is hit or miss and I found a pair of wolverines for $200 (same price as Thursdays)

Are you going for a goth(ish) style? I actually hate my memeboots. Thicker boots with padding and a real collar are better. I'd trade mine for yours. Size?

Memeboots are not ergonomic at all. Tying them up is a pain in the ass compared to boots with real speedlacing or even the ones in you pic and you can't wear them without tying them up, so if you have to take your boots off during the day you're going to spend at least 2 minutes fucking about with them.

Wool socks are just generally superior to cotton.

That said, when I took off my socks it smelled more like foot sweat and old leather than it usually does, but I never had a problem with it while I was wearing the boots.

[Anonymous No.12746160]

>>12746046
As far as I'm concerned:

>old MiE-Docs (pre-2000)
Decent quality, better quality control (everything used to be handmade) but require the same routine and care as any other boot, a.k.a rotating the pair with other shoes, polishing and balsaming etc etc.... These usually have both "The ORIGINAL" and "MADE IN ENGLAND" stampings on the bottom of the soles, aswell as leather insoles stating "MADE IN ENGLAND".

>Asian Docs (2000 and onwards, easily identifiable)
Shittier quality, worse quality control, break down haphazardly unless you get lucky, need polishing and balsaming. Overall, unless you can get them cheap and/or it's your first pair, then don't bother.

>new MiE-Docs (2005 and onwards)
Hyped as being the same quality as the original "vintage-Docs", but limited quantity and a low margin for manufacturing and demand makes these expensive. Are they better, are they worse, overall if you simply want a new pair of MiE-Docs, then these will do. Remember to hold the routine and care the same.

Overall, don't get Docs if you need actual work boots. The "steel-toed" versions are usually just for show and not actually guaranteed for safety. IIRC Solovair doesn't manufacture any safety-boots aswell. Look into other brands for safety and longevity.

As someone already, leather gets creased. It happens, and you're gonna have to live with that. With proper care those creases will only bring character to your boots, so just wipe them clean after every wear, use leather conditioner after 15-25 wears and whatnot. But do get shoe-trees. They won't stop creases from forming (especially on the vamp and on the ankles) but using them will keep your boots healthy. Godspeed, you.
