What do? My only ideas are some lightweight boots or operating shoes from a military store.
But then I will stay to the manchild territory..
It stresses me out. Also money is shit so don't mind Primark tier prices.

Ok. I am open to all. The only serious shoes I have is a pair of chukkas.
If there are no other options I can do another pair or this kind of thing like bucks and boots then..
How foes that sound?

Is leather the only way to avoid water?
Cause in the UK any street shoe will make your feet wet.

1. Cole Haans (the ones which are basically dress shoes with sneaker soles).
2. Basic derbys with little to no brogueing.
3. Leather sneakers with no logos
4. Chelsea boots or timberlands or chukkas (like Clarks) based on your race.
5. Some clean summer canvas sneakers, such as Vans or similiar.

With the above, limit to only one being black. Get some various browns (chocolate, tan, cordovan, cognac) with matching belts. Your ability to coordinate browns is crucial.

Just get some comfy, waterproof sneakers. Adidas has Goretex models, their Terrex line is waterproof too, Nike ACG, Nike utility gear, rubber Cons, Vans MTE line etc. or outdoor brands have waterproof sneakers too.

Good, but most fall under #1, especially if they mix in fabrics too
>4.
Chelsea boots are played out on this board sure, but you can't go that wrong with tan suede chelseas. Avoid timbs and chukkas
>5. Such as Vans or similar
Unless you want to look like you stepped out of ROSS, no. Anything else please.

Are chelseas really that good? I will feel like faggot. I guess I am not man enough for chelseas either.

I really like this. Is it /fa/ at all? Is it ok without looking like a school shooter?

this board hates chelseas becuase of their association with instagram but they are actually great to own, but don’t buy them if you don’t want to wear them

the boots you posted are a bit flamboyant but could certainly work with some fits, perhaps stick to black or brown if you’re unsure?

Broke ass back office geezer. I bet you were two years late to the Patagonia vest trend too.

>2. Basic derbys with little to no brogueing.
2. how to dress like a union spokesman

>3. Leather sneakers with no logos
Palatable.

>4. Chelsea boots or timberlands or chukkas (like Clarks) based on your race.
Timbs and Clarks are plebbit; don't listen to this faggot. Chelsea boots are getting over played, especially suede. Don't consider chelsea boots unless they compliment your silhouette.

>5. Some clean summer canvas sneakers, such as Vans or similiar.
Plebbbbb. Seriously, do you not hear yourself? Summer canvas means you have to wear no-shows in the summer, which is miserable and sweaty. A leather loafer or closed-toe sandal/clog is way better.

5/10, would respond again.
