What do I need to care for my boots?
>Old cotton t shirt (one for cleaning, another for applying conditioners)
>Horsehair brush ($10-15)
>Wooden shoe trees ($10-15)
>Light conditioner like Lexol/Bck4
>Heavy conditioner (if you live in terrible snow/rain areas) Sno seal/Obernauf LP
>Don't forget that boots need time to dry properly, rotate them and don't wear them daily for too long

How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush

>Should I buy turdsdays/soloshits/doc shitans?
No they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.
>b-b-but muh ecelebs on youtube said they're good
no. you will waste your time and money and still have uncomfortable footwear at the end of the day. spend the extra $100 and get something real.

roughtout is not suede, assuming it's actual roughout

suede is a hide that has been split down the middle. it's softer, thinner and has different nap

Look, let's be realistic here. If you want a Solovair because you want the style of a black combat boot, it will most likely be fine. You'll be wearing it for fashion, not doing any real work in it.

Couple of alternatives: Corcoran jump boots.

I've worn them, they held up well. Or look for black logger boots from companies like Thorogood, Georgia, etc. The silhouette will be slightly different but you should be able to find something similar.

I own a pair of galways on the 72 last. They quickly became my most favorite pair ever, the last just fits so well and it definitely is a small step up from C&J benchgrade. If you can afford it, yes go for it, but keep in mind you can buy at least 2 or 3 pairs of other high end makers that will be almost as good. There is definitely nothing like the original.

I fell for the postman meme years ago and I regret it. They just look weird on foot I don't know how else to describe it. And I loved the chunky sole and the way they look in pictures online. Anyway it's like the only pair of shoes I've owned that I've gotten multiple negative comments on. A female friend told me they look like "security guard shoes" (lol).

Fast forward and I picked up a pair of Solovair Gibsons (matte black ones). They actually look so much better on foot than the Postmans it's crazy. They still have a chunky look without looking like clown shoes. I get compliments on them too.

One thing no one in this thread will tell you is that even the mightest Whites boot, if it gets even a little splash of Gasoline on them, will never look the same.

Seconding this.I don't think most of the people in this thread "work" in their work boots. Hiking and weekend home repair don't count.

I work in a refinery, 12 hour shifts. If you wear any of these boots 12 hours a day multiple days in a row in an environment with hazardous chemicals, they're not going to last either. All GYW really means is you can put a new sole on, it's not a guarantee of quality or survivability.

For my job I've got two pair of boots. One CAT and one Timberland Pro. I rotate so I never wear the same boot two days in a row. I'll get an easy two or three years out of them this way, which is worth it IMHO.

You get zero respect from anyone around you, and everyone is going to wonder why the fuck you spent so much on shoes that you may potentially get ruined. If you work any serious job IE something that won't be replaced by AI in a few years, then you shouldn't be wearing any of the boots in this thread to your job.

That isn't the concern of working in boots. That is completely expected of a work boot, they are supposed to look like shit if you work in them every day. The question is how long they will last, and a cheapo pair will last 1/10th as long as a quality pair of boots. You basically get what you pay for.

Today was legit the best day I've had in some time. Chippewa 1939 service boot, horween Chromexcel. I know it's not the fanciest boot but I didn't get a chance to grab a pair in my size when they came out, managed to grab a pair on Mercari for $150. They fit perfectly! Never had a vibrant sole before either, always leather or lug. Very comfortable to walk around in too. As of right now the only boots I want are a pair of chunky black boots and a pair of green leather or suede and then I'm done. Feels good.

I want to find a pair of boots similar in style to Paraboot Michael but with a 6 or 8 inch shaft. Does anything like that exist?

Anon I've got some bad news: All of their heritage line were discontinued. They pretty much all got snapped up in 2017, then they weren't made again (that I know of). And then the entire line was officially discontinued.

Chippewa is still making boots, but they're just regular work boots. I'm ok with that though because I'm going to get their Baldor model, and my desire for a chunky/more casual black boot will be taken care of.

Have a look at what this guy did to uncrease a pair of AE shoes. I can vouch for this, I followed the exact same procedure and got creases out of a pair of shoes that way too.
I can't guarantee it because the leather on your boot may be different but the principle is sound. I'd put good shoe trees in them for a couple days then try this method if the other doesn't work.

[Anonymous No.17439551]

>>17439533
You can't uncrease. All leather creases. All leather will one day crack in the crease. How long until that day depends on whether or not you care for the leather, including trees and conditioning and a rotation.
However if the crease is so deep and rough that it's hurting your foot that's not going to be fixed by trees. Once the trees are out and your foot back I'd assume the crease would go right back to affecting you.
What are they? Have a pic?
I've had painful, pinching, creases but only on footwear that was too big for my feet.

Thanks, I might try that. Gottat get shoe trees first.

>>17439551
Iron Rangers, baby's first real boot of sorts. I guess I'm paying the price of being a noob and not taking proper care of them.
For starters, I don't have shoe trees since I don't really mind the creasing. The problem is that I stored them away and something fell on the left boot without me noticing. That something pressed the area around the center of the stitching in the toe cap (red circle) and now when I walk the top crease presses against my foot when I walk. It's not painful but anoying.
Also, I think I got a half a size too big. At the time I was a bit paranoid about shoes being too tight (since I hate when my toes touch the front of the shoe when I walk) and got a 9.5 instead of a 9 which I should have got.
I don't mind the creasing, if I can mange to get the part that got pressed down to its former structure (or just enough so the upper crease stops bothering me) I will be more than content.

What's a non-boot goodyear welted shoe I can wear out with friends as well as in the office?

I feel like a suede boot or a chelsea are versatile for both, but when it comes to shoes it's either sneakers with friends or oxfords in the office, there's no real in between.

So far I'm torn between Red Wing IRs, Thorogood Dodgevilles (if I can find them/they still make them) or Wolverine 1000 Miles.

Yes. Brogues are inherently casual.
The most formal shoes are oxfords and slip-ons, remember. The sleeker they are and the less stuff there is to distract from the patent leather, the better.

It's why softball stitched PNW boots will never be acceptable in any self-respecting office environment.

Down here, business casual means toe caps. Casual is no caps, professional is no caps. You can wear boots in business casual depending on leather and presence of toe cap.

My new years resolution is that I will not buy any boots until I see the White's shop and can look at their leathers in person and try the different lasts (I have a 4811 and love it). Naturally I stop at Frank's too.

It's more than the finish. The leather is melted and pitted. It must have been a significantly strong acid. I am starting to think someone tried to hurt me and I got lucky. Didn't notice anything until I got home. At work they were fine.
