This. Look for euro surplus. Austrian paras are a meme on this board, german pilot boots were a few years ago, pic related. You might very well get raped on shipping though.

I like the seaker-boot-hybrid-type-look of pic related, although I don't actually own a pair of them.

Military Surplus is a good way to get quality boots for cheap. I got these Bundeswehr Modell 2007 boots for 20€. They had no visible wear and are insanely comfortable and durable.

Yeezys, can find ten for pretty cheap usually too

I've heard a bunch of bad things about Dr. Martens, about how they've dropped in quality. Are they still worth $60 though?

>> No.13496019

>>13495847
For 60? Yeah definitely. Anything above $100 is crap.

Check out Solovair or Gripfast. Those are some good original boots that share the same plane as Doc's.

those are both very nice looking, but over my price range, thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Goodyear welted or stitchdown are a must. Don't waste time with anything glued in

Check out Corcoran and Rocky boots if you like the jump style.

Full grain unlined leather with a Goodyear welt.

>Solovair
Stop this meme. I fell for it and regret it.

Solovairs are in now way of 'higher quality' than made in Asia docs. It's the same cheap leather, only with less plastic coating. Everything else is 100% the same, except Solovair has fucking horrendous quality control. They simply forgot to weld the mid-sole ends together on my pair (pic related). There's a guy on reddit whose sole completely split after 2 weeks of wear + there's many stories like that. Docs are better.
