Pleas talk me out of buying the $560 Brown Dublin Nut from Truman Boot Co.

If you got 560 burning a hole in your pocket fuck it. But you and I both know 560 can go to something way more necessary like bills, rent or those new car tires you've been meaning to get. Soubds like you have a champagne taste on a beer budget

You have the outfit you want to wear with them?
*at least* one outfit because if you want us to talk you out of it, money is a concern for you and so you won't want to be spending more when you get them, they're awesome, but they don't go with anything you own.
If you aren't behind on your bills and there is nothing else you need more urgently on the horizon, get them. Life is too short.
Alternatively, put the $600 into bitcoin and buy 2 pairs at the end of the year

heel and sole are ugly . these type of shoes with bright multicolour heels are so ugly. u have a nice upper shade and then u ruin it with some flashy tacky heel . the heel should always be similar colour , or a uniform 1 colour at least , not a layer cake of ugly assorted colours

those look ok, better than the other ones. i think the hooking shoes laces at the top are pretty low quality though. only lower quality boots have that. and they usually end up ripping off, or cause discomfort vs having normal holes. yea i agree that the toe is bulbous, but seriously, whenever you are looking at these type of boots as casual, you have realize they are "boots", hiking boots, or construction boots that are masquerading. wearing "style" hiking boots, doesnt change the fact that they really are just hiking boots.

it's like wearing harness boots, riding boots, for style, they arent made for walking around town in, theyre made for ridign horses. or motorcycles

Ok iron rangers are based on old work boots, they aren't hiking boots and are not suitable for today's working environments, definitely not on construction sites. Same goes with the boots in your pic

> Iron Rangers aren't the best hiking boots once you put real treads on them

The leather is good quality, along with the stitching. Throw in some thin sport insoles and slap some mink oil on those babies and you have a pair of breathable, durable, waterproof boots. Synthetics have nothing on full grain leather except weight.
