i've been researching for weeks

i just want to buy a boot that doesn't look like clown shoes

i don't know whether to get size 12 or size 13 for each boot

help me pls

>> No.6789676

im size 12 and when i tried on size 12 iron rangers they were a pretty tight fit.

i ended up not getting them because they look gigantic.
i love them, but you say you don't want clown shoes and that's how i felt wearing them.
they are too bulky, but i think it's just because my feet are so big.

>> No.6789692

>>6789676

it's weird because i've been wearing size 14 shoes for the past few years. every time i get measured, it's a true 14

yet all of my size 14 shoes have a bit of space in the toes, so recently (past few weeks) i've tried on size 13 shoes and they fit snugly, which i like more

iron rangers run big, so 12s fit like 13s, which again fit snugly. the lady at the red wing store told me 12s were the proper size for me, and said she could tell the 13s were ill fitting just from watching me walk.

are you sure you're not size 13? size 12 iron rangers should have fit poorly for you.

oh also, here's what 12s look like on me

it's not a very good angle but it's all i took at the red wing store

>> No.6789703

>>6789692
yea im size 12 for sure.
i actually tried on 11, 12 and 13s so im probably just remembering wrong.
all i know is i didn't like the way they fit, and they looked way too bulky.

>> No.6789707

>>6789703

fair enough

i might just go with brogue/wing tip boots because on average they seem to look slimmer/less like clunky work boots

i just don't know which brands are nice and in my price range, they're less talked about than iron rangers/1000 miles/whatever else

yeah they're pretty terrible, and the jean fit is pretty bad

i've got raws in the mail, had to send them back because i sized down too much, couldn't even get the button done up lel

>>6789714

did you not look at the OP picture

black chelseas are the one boot I already have

i'm looking for something new to add to my shoe collection, something different

Implying you know to not wear those jeans & shoes together I don't see what is wrong with them in that picture. They look good but I prefer the wolverine's because of no stitching in the toebox

>> No.6790010

Get the Katahdins with that budget. If you could milk another 100 bucks or so I'd go with the 1000 miles though, but you can't beat those up as much without feeling regretful.

The Katahdins though will take a fucking beating, I wear mine everywhere, even in water and I run in them and they look amazing.

How do Iron Rangers fit wide feet?

Get Redwing 2962s. They're similar to Iron Rangers but less Ronald McDonald.

I've got size 10 feet and I wouldn't even wear IRs because of how big they look. I can't imagine wearing size 12 IRs. I would go for something with a lower profile toebox.

Terribly. Finding a correct fit in Redwings is a nightmare. They are very long and narrow. You need to size down on length and size up on width and pray that it fits.

Because you're dispensing shitty advice and enforcing dated dogmas accidentally instated by old housewives simply concerned their clueless husbands would wear a black belt with their brown shoes to church.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I really appreciate the input. You guys are the best.

>>6791959

eBay. There are some in my size for $232 + free shipping.

I can also get Iron Rangers in my size for $220 on eBay (or best offer, so I bet I could snag them for <$200) but they look like this.

It's a good cop but something seems off about the quality.

I used to want 1k miles because of hot nice they look in stock pictures online but when I saw them in person I really disliked them.

Alden Indys are by far the nicest out of the more popular boots but they're double your budget.

you're telling me that shit tier work boots don't look great without several thousands of dollars worth of STUDIO LIGHTING and camera equipment

OP, you can get the wolverines on revolveclothing.com for 30% off if it's your first purchase. Just call them/live chat a sales rep and tell them to apply the discount and you'll be credited back. Get mine this way for around $240~. Much better than Red Wings imo, since they don't look like clown shoes at all.

I usually size down one size from sneaks for my boots (12 in nike = 11 in redwing&chippewa). Also try going for a moc toe boot if you are afraid of them looking like "clown shoes".

>> No.6794021

>>6793995
also I sized down .5 from my red wings size and they fit perfectly.
