Should I buy a pair of DMs or Timbs?

I've been wearing a pair of brown DMs every day for the past 4 years now, and they've gotten pretty worn out. I think it's time for a new pair of boots.

What do you suggest, /fa/?

>> No.13411305

Solovair
boots should last longer than 4 years

>> No.13411327

>>13411305
I heard the leather they use for docs and solovairs uses plastic which makes it prone to cracking at the toe creases eventually.
How long did docs last, back in the day?

DMs if you're a lesbian
Tims if you're a black guy

I really want to buy these, but I currently own a pair of the 8-eyes and they have torn near the toe box on the outside where my toe is widest.

I'm worried these are gonna do the same, no matter how much I look after them.

They state a width of 9cm, where I'm closer to 10cm.

Any other boots similar? Totally down with military styles, I just want the extra height these would offer.

Get vêtements boots instead. They last longer and are cool.

Yeah not really interested in paying three times as much for something with gross embossing. More interested in quality craftsmanship in an appropriate width than fast fashion masquerading as something

Do they make one that doesn't have their name all over it? Because that's what came up when I looked.

Danners, some sort of moc toe. DM's are too mainstream, and unless you're a guy trying to be ghetto don't wear timbs. Both are overpriced for what they are.

>>13411327
They make them to be disposable ever since docs were bought out. If you could sell more boots to more teens who'll only use them until their adult years, you make more money. I hear the Hard life and For life stuff is good as is the Quillion leather in the Made in UK docs but they are more uncomfortable.

The black one, I'm using the same pair of Timbs and cleaning them is a headache and in general black boots are awesome.

Neither. Get a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers and feel happy knowing you have a superior product to either of those.

You can get black timbs, I have a pair and the quality of the nubuck is pretty good.

I'm 5'9 without shoes on, and the Timbs I bought make me feel as if I'm 5'10-5'11. I definitely noticed a difference in height, and it's been so long since I bought my DMs that I don't remember how tall they made me when the soles weren't completely worn out.
