Leather Boots General

Where the hell can I get similar robust, yet lightweight and lowkey leather boots.

Really want to get some boots but worried they'll smell awful after a week or so. Seems like my foot sweat destroys every pair of shoes i get in under a month, and leather soles just seem to kind of dissolve over time. What do?

Depends on the type of leather boot you want.
>Hiking
Get some lace-to-toe leather boots instead of combat boots. Your feet will thank you. The ability to choose the lacing the whole way up the foot is a huge plus.

They're more expensive for sure, but you pay for more boot. They'll typically last longer and take more punishment. Danner makes the Mountain Light hiking boots, which are ~$400. If that's too expensive, Chippewa makes their roofer boots which are the same concept for ~$250. Georgia boots are cheaper with their logger lace-to-toe boots at ~$180

[Anonymous No.17478079]

>>17478074
Speaking of which, shoepassion has a few lace-to-toe boots in the ~$350 range. Great deal.

The thing is, I never had issues with my Palladiums regarding foot pain. I probably should get proper hiking boots though.

Another thing I like about combat boots is how high they go up on my leg. I go to areas with lots of ticks, leeches, and snakes. So I like to have as much coverage as possible on my legs. It seems like hiking boots are always ankle or high top length

Hard to tell from just that pic, but that welt looks fake/decorative, which means the soles are glued. Also the toecap looks like two pieces sewn together, rather than one piece over the other. The stitches don't look too strong either. In short, I would be OK with it if it were a 100-150 boot, but I woukdn't pay 269 for that when you can get way better stuff at that price point.

Obviously wash your feet every day. Put talcum powder in your socks or on your feet. Then let your shoes air out for 10 minutes when you take them off, then put in shoe trees. Don't wear them every day.

[Anonymous No.17481573]

>>17477879
The mistake you're making is wearing the same pair of footwear 24/7 and expecting them to be fine. They won't.
You need at least two pairs in a rotation, or 3 if you really have a acid monkey sweat problem. Some people do as their body chemistry is overwhelmingly low ph for some reason.
Two/three pairs of whatever, when you take off a pair let it dry for a bit, longer if you're in a cold and wet environs where things don't try easily on their own, then slip in some shoe/boot trees. Cedar wood preferred. The next day you DON'T wear that pair, and instead wear the other pair. Repeat the cycle.
Avoid leather soles if you're worried about speedy wear. Shouldn't use leather soles in wet conditions anyway as they deteriorate 10x faster when wet.
Get more than one pair of whatever it is.

TLB Mallorca lets you customize boots, and their quality has been compared to Carmina. For a little short of half the price. I think those would look perfectly fine dressed up, especially if you aren't wearing boot cut (which would be embarrassing in a dress setting anyways). Here's a good example of a boot similar, but you can get any last you want in any color through them.

I do not understand how some 200 boots that are sold as quality boots can fall apart in two weeks on a regular basis. That's what baffles me about Thursday, how many boots do they sell and what percentage is faulty? Horror stories spread fast, if it's something not overblown, how come they haven't gone under yet?
Not that it really matters to me. Even if I didn't have doubts about Thursday, the Red Wings look so much better. I just need to save up a bit more.

Money can’t buy taste. John Lofgren is legit bug man collector brand.
You sound insecure. No money in the world can buy style and respect kiddo.
He is a walking mannequin for collectibles. You vehemently defend that probably because you are just the same tasteless gunk who chase “le heritage pieces” to fill whatever void it is resulted from having no father figure.

>how come they haven't gone under yet?
they spend more money on advertising than on building boots. look at the number of instagram and youtube influencers that shill thursdays. they rely on preying on the poors who do not know better, and yes turdsdays might be a slight upgrade to the mall trash fashion boots they're used to, but its not hard to improve on trash and at the end of the day they are still trash.

you'll notice the same discontent with the quality of the other products turdsday offer like their belts and jackets

they are a marketing company, not a bootmaker

PERHAPS a bit of a long shot, but I've read that the feldschuhe leicht is a pretty common find in surplus stores in Austria - anyone know if that's true? If so, it'd be pretty easy for me to take a quick flight to Vienna to try to grab a pair.

[Anonymous No.17490877]

They used to be everywhete, but between this >>17491079, that they got popular and everyone was coping them and tgat the austrian army no longer uses them, the surpluss has kinda dried up.
Until recently Steinkogler didn't bother selling them outside of Austria, but they have a page in english now aling international shipping, so I guess they finally decided to tackle that market, perhaps because they lost the army as a customer, at least for this product.
Bear in mind that the new ones come linex, while the surpluss didn't.

[Anonymous No.17491288]

>>17491281
I actually don't know a ton about it. I bought the boots at a military surplus store and they were already like that. The tag even specified that they were "painted". I assumed it was something the original owner had done to get out of having to shine his boots as often. A couple months later I happened to run into a guy at a restaurant who had actually earned his jump boots in the military and struck up a conversation. He told me that it was "boot black" and that it's just a kind of permanent shine some guys have put on. I wouldn't normally go for something like that personally but they were the only pair in the shop in my size, they're a great fit, were close to new when I picked them up, and only set me back $80.

If anyone knows more about this painting process I'd be interested. I haven't really looked into it.

[Anonymous No.17491356]

im a total boot noobie, only ever having snow boots and getting gifted a pair of doc martens that fell apart. ive settled into trying to find a boot at the approx 200-250 USD price range, so far only yanko(pic rel) and some military surplus shite seem to have value at that price. am i way off base on this? is there other boots/companies that i should be looking at?
i dont need boots for work or shoveling out the driveway, although i live in New England so i am hoping for some protection from the cold, but its not of a super critical importance. i hike and camp a great deal but usually i do that barefoot or with actual hiking shoes, that being said i really dont know what tangibly makes a boot good for the /wood/s, besides having a properly grippy sole.
as you can see i am very clueless any help would be appreciated <3

looking for a purely fashion/light wear boot. considering the solovair oxblood gripfasts, what are your thoughts
NOTE: i am aware these boots are not for work. i have 2 pairs of white's, a pair of nick's, 2 pairs of tecovas, a pair of blundstones, and a pair of redbacks. i understand i am a retarded faggot for wanting solovairs, i KNOW. the blundstones and redbacks are not comfortable for walking around in all day, the white's and nick's are for working and i dont want to have to keep cleaning them so that they aren't covered in poison oak and paint and shit
my tecovas are both brown, and i want a pair of boot that can be worn with more shit
my main question is how their shiny w/e leather holds up over time, or if it gets shitty with cracks and all that

[Anonymous No.17492279]

>>17492123
Assuming they size like the other paramemes, go down one size from your sneaker size. Even so you they should be roomy enough to wear with thick socks. If they're still too big, you can add an insole and you should be good.
