My problem is I only get pictures of boots that are fresh and new from store websites. I can imagine how they're going to age, and I just like looking at the potential. But it doesn't make for a great picture. I might post some anyway.

Yeah, it's hard to believe that they have such a market for it, but that seems to be how it is. Still, it's like the trade-off when buying Red Wing in Europe: It's not as easy (more expensive in this case), but there aren't as many people wearing it, so it's more rewarding to own them.

man, I could never come around to the idea of black boots. I have an unhealthy aversion to black (on myself, not on others). but I do like oak street's trench boots. I'd never buy them for myself, but I can appreciate them.

Oak Street doesn't make them though, do they? I know they're made somewhere else, but by whom I don't know.

Please don't try to buy leather boots under $100. The reason those boots look so good is because they are made with the proper material and with proper construction techniques. If you can't afford that (you're looking at $300+, much more for Viberg) then you need to look for something else. Your budget calls for sneakers and not much else.

>>6647499
It's way less because there is a trade-off. You won't find ones that look like the style viberg makes. Thorogood makes good budget boots, but their best-looking models give off a much more utilitarian workwear vibe. That's the kind of look that 150 can achieve. You won't get the beautiful classic boot. You'll get the rugged work boot.

I was fixated on peanut suede everything like a few months ago but I never bought anything. if I saw those I would have died

I have a couple pairs of yuketen boots, but one (black ones in pic) doesn't fit me very well. it was one of my first pairs of boots and back then I didn't know about the whole sizing down a half size for boots thing.

(the pic is a crop of a larger picture that I just have on my computer already, so it's not a great picture)

I'm not convinced that Yuketen's quality is so much more legendary than the other american manufacturers. Some people say so, but I don't agree. But they do extremely well with styling.

>>6647645
I guessed Tender co from the pic because of that upward curving toe. they look amazing. I want to see what the ones that unionmade had look like when they break in (either the boots or the shoes: whichever one was leather, not the suede one).

I wanna get into boots, especially because it gets so cold where I live.

1) Is there like a general rule of thumb when sizing for boots? Do most, if not all, boots fit large or does it vary from designer to designer like with sneakers?
2) Has any of you had any experience with Royal Republiq? Are they any good? Most of their boots are lined, which is nice to have in cold weather. Pic related.
3) What is the preferred sole type for harsh climates in fall/winter (cold, snow, rain, sleet, you name it)? I read Vibram soles lose their touch when in cold weather.

Ugly. I don't hate Clark's; some of their collaborative shoes are nice, and their desert boots are not the worst things ever. But I do hate those ones. The leather looks bad, the buckles look pointless, and the color palette of the whole thing rubs me the wrong way. They look awful IMO.

>>6647749
unless you're hanging out with hunters, who cares? just say you appreciate hunting on an aesthetic level, or you feel the call of the wild or some shit. you don't need to justify your sense of style to anyone.

>>6647769
1) Generally they run bigger to fit thick socks, sizing down half is usually (but not always) right.
2) I haven't.
3) Vibram 2060 doesn't grip well on ice, but I don't slip as much with the vibram christy. I think a lug sole would probably be good but I'm not speaking from experience on this one.

>>6647786
you generally need to buy from the designers who work with that aesthetic. generally rouger textures, shades of black and dark gray, and either very minimally designed boots or sneakers.

[hip$ster !HALO3F/O26 No.6648349]

>>6647852
they have multiple lines of varying quality. Their low-end line, which I think is made in India, is not bad. I have a pair of Archie V brogues. The quality is fine but nothing to write home about. I have no personal experience with their high-end lines, which IIRC are made in England.

If you're buying from their low-end line, I would only recommend doing so if it's a style you really like and on sale.

google like this "clark sand site:dressed.so"

without the quotes obviously and replace "clark sand" with a simple way to describe what your looking for. I tried just "clark suede" but it came up with more results that weren't sand and if i searched for "clarks desert boots sand suede" id get way to many results. try to break your search down to unique but common short phrases because some people will spell things differently such as putting it "clarks dessert boots" instead of "clark's desert boots"
