Are SLP considered the best chelsea boots under 1k?

christ no

I think so, but will probably get flamed by some autist who thinks otherwise. The shape is just perfect.

>>11556265
What about story et fall?

>>11556279
>christ no
then what?

>>11556265
????????????????????

>>11556286
story et fall is a cheap alternative to a slp silhouette

>>11556265
I wouldn't say the quality is necessarily better than other boots at/near its price point

but if you want a sharp thin silhouette then yeah slp is best for that

however I feel this is more of a niche thing better suited to very skinny people

>>11556291
crockett and jones, rm williams, churchs

basically just any mid-high tier dress shoe brand will be substantially better for the money

slp is all hype and consumerism

Question for someone who knows nothing about chelseas: they use elastic, yeah? Wouldn't that wear out and leave you with a looser fit over time?

>>11556282
BRO YOU CAN GET A CUSTOM SHOE MADE JUST FOR YOU FOR $400 WHY PAY A GRAND FOR EDDIE SLIMMAYNES

>no one has posted ever posted a shoe matching the shape

>>11556309
Only if you wear them everyday have a decent rotation going and they'll last a while.

>>11556310
just admit that you're buying them for the brand name and move on

Christ, can we end this phrase on a fashion board? Not everyone wants to thrift everything they own or barter with a cobbler in exchange for four chickens, a vat of pickled herring, and a silver dagger.

Cheap price-wise, quality-wise, or both?

>>11556322
Pricewise its pretty damn cheap my pair has held up damn well for what I payed for them.

>>11556321
>he doesn't haggle with fishmongers on a daily basis

how pleb can you get?

>>11556309
The point is for the elastic to go somewhat loose, when you buy the boots it's alittle hard to expand.

>>11556330
>>11556313
Gotcha. Thx.

>>11556315
Yeah, I just love taking them off and looking at that golden lettering on the bottom, gets me so hard. Show me a boot with the same silhouette and I'll buy both of us a pair.

>>11556265
if you like the SLP styles then yes SLP boots are the best but please dont buy chelsea boots from them. Spend that $1k on their wyatts, santiags, duckies, french boots etc and dress with a bit of personality.

if you just want plain boots that look like SLP look at IRO or Sandro and save your money.

>>11556265

Crockett & Jones

>>11556286
No. I've heard from multiple people that SEF boots start to lose their shape after a while. If you really need SLP esque boots go get them off Reon District. I've had retail SLP Wyatts in both brown suede harness style and black leather Chelsea and can say that theirs are almost 1:1 in terms of the real thing.

>>11556348
>>11556319
look through the alternatives offered in this thread, then try posting again

>>11556400
But I posted alternatives I even own a pair of SeF Chelseas.

>>11556361
The chelsea boots are the Wyatt models minus the harness and zipper and some elastic throw on

>>11556394
Went to the reondistrict. Don't get it. They make bootleg designer clothes or resell them for lower prices?

>>11556400
Those alternatives get posted a thousand times, nothing compares to SLP and nothing comes close. SEF is shit, Iro might have a nice shape but it's not comparable to SLP. Show me the SAME silhouette for cheaper and try again.

>>11556310
please show me whatever readily available store/website will make the equivalent of a saint laurent boot for $400.

>>11556265
can these be re-soled when the time comes?

>>11556427
>>11556348
stop acting like slp is the end all be all of footwear, when it very clearly isnt

if you honestly can't find a chelsea boot you like better than hedi's then you need to look harder

>>11556426
Bootleg but they use pretty much the same, if not the exact same, materials that SLP uses. Same shape too. Really nice imo. Actually got rid of my retail SLPs and kept my RD ones instead.

>>11556384
I'm a big fan of proper goodyear welted shoes, but honestly the C&J derby 3 looks terrible compared to the SLP wyatt, especially the wyatt 40 shape which is just gorgeous

>>11556449

nah they look slim on foot and the toe shape is comparable. if you're not going to get the 1.6 inch heel on the SLP boots you might as well get the common projects chelsea's in my opinion.

Fake BV chelseas are the best. At about $100 bucks, they're nearly a perfect rep. I know people are going to bash me or disapprove, but it's true.

>>11556734

Prada owns Church since a few years and their quality became shit
>basically just any mid-high tier dress shoe brand will be substantially better for the money
nope.
American/English dress shoe makers like their goodyearwelting and clunky lasts, so will be a far cry from SLP's styling
>slp is all hype and consumerism
so are Chelseas.
they have an elastic part which will not last, so quality leather that will age well and resole-ability are for naught.

Prada bought Church's in 1999.
Prices increased and cost-cutting was implemented like using bookbinder leather. just check out styleforum for specific models.

basically you get an entry-level Northampton dress shoe for the price of a medium-premium one.
plus Prada is abusing the Church's name for some fashion-only shoes.

>>11557611
It seems like the actual complaint are more on the fact that they are producing more fashion-y shoes that on the quality of the actual shoes

Mine are fine anyway, it's castoro suede with a good quality dainite sole so whatever

>>11557611
i think church's just fucked up quality control
shoes are still of the same quality just a couple of unlucky people ended up with shit batch and took to the internet to complain about it

>>11557660
>It seems like the actual complaint are more on the fact that they are producing more fashion-y shoes that on the quality of the actual shoes
you fail at google
>Mine are fine anyway, it's castoro suede with a good quality dainite sole so whatever
there are basically no visible quality differences between suede leathers. won't really get a patina either.
dainite sole is nothing special and found at entry level, too.

>>11557709
nope, whole series had bookbinder leather and with their new prices they just aren't competitive anymore when it comes to quality: C&J benchgrade is always better.

>>11557716
Can you prove any of that? Because really, all I see when Googling is people telling me to stay away from dress shoes with camo soles or 700$ boots made from corrected grain, DUH?!

>>11557748
using inferior bookbinder leather isn't some QC issue, which you find out after you produced the shoe. it must have been planned.

>>11557771
Not that qc control you are answering to

I was just saying that while they do have some shitty model and they did raise the price, that there are still models that. Are better than c&j qualitywise

>>11557587
Good fit for a spring/autumn-ish season
I'll probably cop when they'll be on sale, 100 isn't worth for zara, never had a pair of chelseas

69KB, 924x805px

the silhouette isn't as good as the SLP wyatt 40, but the EG newmarket is still lovely, and far, far superior quality construction with much finer leather

Story et Fall are pretty good considering they cost a shade over 200 euros. Nice shape, welted, and good quality French leather. Decent alternative since SLPs cost four times as much and CPs twice as much.

>>11557865 http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/arno-bay/Arno_Bay.html?dwvar_Arno__Bay_color=02#start=1

You go to a skilled cobbler, no site is trustworthy. They need to make a last of your foot so the shoe is custom made JUST for your feet.
