I'm looking for boots, /fa/. What kind of boots do you guys wear? Should I get some Doc Martens?

>> No.9531496

If you get Docs get the monos.

>> No.9531497

I wear the same model 1460's as your pic, but I've used a sharpie on the yellow threading and it worked surprisingly well.

You didn't specify if you need them to be practical in cold weather/snow. All I can say is that these keep my feet relatively warm (this is coming from someone who has been wearing low-cut chucks through winters so take it with a grain of salt), but the sole will cause you to possibly fall on some ice so watch the fuck out if you do end up getting them

Docs are good every day/beater shoes.

In my opinion, the only colourways you should consider are the classic or mono. Docs are tacky, but in a good way, if that makes sense. Anything else will just look cheap/like shit. Ultimately get what you want and don't take a bunch of degenerate fashion nerds' advice literally

They are not good outdoor boots. The tread is minimal and you will slip around easily on grass or dirt.
That being said they are kind of nice on ice or snow, especially if you waterproof them. The rubber grips way better than other tractionless shoes like vans. They were made to keep you from slipping around on a wet factory floor.
