Why is the USA so superior to Europe when it comes to boots?

The USA has tons of modern companies that make stylish boots for urbanites, with thick soles and contemporary, functional designs.

All we got in Europe a bunch of traditional manufacturers who still make overly classic flimsy dress boots for le Victorian gentlemen.

Just strut into a small town in Europe and you can find some random Hanz Rentner or Tomas Molnár to handwelt a pair of solid boots for you.
The concentration of good shoemaker, that still handwelt in Europe is greater than in America, hand down.
Too bad they don't advertise massively like the American so zoomers like you don't know about them.
Also, these traditional guys are so slow to catch on the Viberg clone trend, all they do is alpine style mountain boots; excellently built though.

It actually doesn't feel as bad as it looks but this is not a wide shoe for sure.

But almost every photo I've seen of people wearing 2030 boots has this happening to some degree. So maybe it's just a narrow last idk.

Yeah. You should look up some charts where people upload their sizes and how they fit compared to other boots. "Manufacturer Last Sizing Thread" on le reddit and so fourth.

Asking for recommendations in this thread on Vibergs is not a good idea because it would seem Viberg have been fucking a lot of wives and so naturally there is a lot of impotent rage against Viberg on this board. Not to mention the resident White's shill that exists for no other reason than to recommend people to buy White's. He does it for free by the way so he's basically a janny.

Can anyone give help me compile a more extensive list of non-US non-dressy GYW boot manufacturers? I'm primarily interested in European manufacturers but anything goes to counter american supremacy.
I was able to find these:

Urban Shepherd (Portugal)
Sendra Boots (Spain)
Sancho Boots (Spain)
Yanko (Spain) -- has some service boot models
William Lennon (UK)
Dundas (Norway)
Midas Bootmaker (Indonesia)
Txture (Indonesia)

I'm going to be honest, you are looking for a unicorn. You either get overtop gothic/high-fashion design with abysmal quality...or a more subdued/classic/workman design with high quality.

Then people from the same family (nephew?) jumped ship to make Meermin, which is the "made in China" bet.
And more recently some of Carmina's top people (unrelated to the family) jumped ship to form TLB.

If you need to put an insole you should have gone half a size up. I think I said so myself in the other thread. Regarding the tightness, that's normal when they are new, it will get better with use. Also bear in mind that welted shoes are stiff and harder to flex when brand new, all require a break in period, which is relatively short with Iron Rangers.

you get strengthened feet by consistently and regularly walking around without wearing footwear that contours to every bend of your foot, so that your feet are actually strengthened to function as they're supposed to...by themselves.

I wear footwear that doesn't have 'support' because 1. I don't need the support, and 2. my occupation doesn't necessitate it. I'd like more boots to be made with higher grade leather and material, but as of now there isn't much to select because the boot market is predominately consisting of the same 'arch support', heel stacked, multilayered specs that I don't want or need.

I don't need to be walking around in a cast in the name of 'support', but I do appreciate the benefits of leather footwear, like durability.

buy some cxl, wrap it around your foot, tie a string around your ankle
looks just as hideous as any barefoot boot

There will never be another boot like it, I'm seriously thinking of getting them copied by indonesian boot makers

You seem to misunderstand what the break in period is. Boots with thick leather uppers and with thick leather weltrd soles are rigid out of the box, it takes a bit of time of use for the leather to mold, and become flexible enough. The thicker the leather, the more time it takes.
In the case of Iron Rangers the leather in the upper is supple and flexible, and the soles are not nearly as thick nor rigid as other heritage boots.
If that anon has a higher arch than average, then he should have gone perhaps a half size up.
But the thing is, while your feet should fit the boot out of the box, comfort comes with use.

I'm in Europe but I have heard that a brand called "Uniqlo" offers wool trousers for the office that look like the real deal but actually feel and behave like sweatpants

Where can I buy such a thing?

base it off the amount of time you can endure the pain

Looking for a boot style similar to pic related, except it has to have a wide toebox. Not a wide midfoot, but a wide toebox so I don't get bunions. Does that exist?

Brown is cool too.

Better to post here, I reckon. Deleted the thread. Anywy, Viberg and Sizes. They are currently having an amazing sale and I'm thinking of buying a pair. My size is EU 42, do I fit in a 8.5E Viberg if I have wide feet?

[Anonymous No.17845216]

>>17845201
if you have no clue about sizing and your only reference is your euro mall shoe size i wouldn't buy from a sale
but if you have to i would say 8E

I am European. I have no feeling of what a Brannock shoe size is other than the US size, where I'm a size 9 and Viberg is inbetween US and UK afaik.

[Anonymous No.17845229]

>>17845223
viberg is UK sizing, just look at their size guide on their own site
that would make you 8E in thir boots, but use your own judgment

[Anonymous No.17845234]

>>17845229
the 8 is sold out. should I get a 8.5D instead? does a half size even matter? I wear insoles anyway.

[Anonymous No.17845247]

>>17845234
E is the stardard size for viberg
D is narrow

if you say you have wide feet then go with 8,5E and use the insole if you have to

anybody here got any tips for trying to find a leather jacket to match your boots? fuckin clueless about fashion, specifications to look for on sites etc etc

[Anonymous No.17845275]

>>17845257
they should be the same colour

[Anonymous No.17845287]

>>17845257
the most obvious tip is to match black with black, brown with brown
also it should be the other way round you choose boots to the jacket

just like with boots there are no cheap jackets and you have to pay more than you're comfortable with to actually get quality, $1000+
the cheapest good jackets from non-mystery leathers are from aero leather, if you can't buy new get one from ebay used
jap brands are supposedly the best jackets

There’s no convincing. Why would I bother “strengthening” my feet by switching to barefoot/zerodrop boots/shoes when I can just wear normal gyw boots which protect my feet better and are not ugly? Is it just to brag about how I’m using more muscles in my foot to other hipsters?

>>17844906
Buy the right size footwear. I’ve worn boots the majority of my life and I’ve never had any foot issues.

You must've been mistaken. Majority of their trousers are synthetic blends with a few offerings that have mostly-cotton. No wool products at all. As expected for the price.
