Red Wing or Whites Boots are the best investment if you can afford them.

Get some timberlands then

Timbs are the way to go.

Bean boots.

Seriously fuccboi.

Just save up for a pair of redwings. They last a lifetime if you take care of them.
Go to a place where they know their shit and learn how to properly take care of your boots and you'll be happy with your decision

Wolverine.
Easy to find second hand for cheap on ebay.

Yeah, do this for any of the high quality made in USA brands. Just find a pair that didn't work for the original owner based on fit and are still pretty new. Don't buy some clapped out old work boots. You want them to break in with your feet. My Red Wing 877s are 5 years old and have aged beautifully. I've technically spent about $55/year on them so far, which is nothing. They'll go another 10 years easily.

stop shilling this

You can get Red Wing Heritage and Wolverine 100 miles for under $200 if you shop enough sales.

Does anyone know if Thursday boot company is any good. They look really nice on their website. Thinking about copping a pair

palladium

>>11625371
yeah but too bad you can only wear them one day of the week

what boots look best with casual wear? (i.e. like jeans and a hoodie)

Rockport makes some decent ankle boots

Timberland Earthshakers

Palladium, solovair, timberland are the 3 I'd have you check out

>>11625138
Seconding this, have 2 pairs of their boots, and absolutely amazing for the price.

>>11625146
>soles made out of Cheerios

Honesty I'd just save up and get something nice like Redwings. As the others have said, they'll last forever and not only look good but can also hold up to actual winter wear. I've got a pair of cigar featherstone Beckmans, and it's probably the best purchase I've made. Go great with everything and can be dressed up or down.

Price range is a bad one because you are a bit too high for a pair of mass produced boots, but you are too low to get a pair of high-quality ones.

A pair of high-quality boots will last you 10+ years, a bad pair maybe a year or two. I would suggest Carlos Santos jumper boot, but that would be in the 300 region. It's a lot of boot for the money though.

>>11626059
Those are gorgeous senpai

>>11625197
Shill or not, bean boots are pretty well made.

I'm not sure if they're still around, but Timberland had two "high end" offshoot companies, Abington and Timberland Boot Company. Both are decent and usually sub $150. Chippewas are built better though, but kinda clunky to me. Don't like the soles either. Aren't they sub $200?

Do Dr. Martins last for a long time? i"m thinking about copping a pair in the fall.

>>11625371
Reddit's goodyearwelt has some brand reviews for them, but essentially they are mixed QC with some questionable leather, but aesthetically nice for the price.

>>11626295
Cop the made in england collection. The rest are made in China and are shit quality. Made in england however, are amazing. Well worth the price

I bought myself a pair of Clarks Desert Malis the other day, pretty happy so far. Simple styling and versatile, I just hope they break in soon.

>>11625018
whatever you do just don't pick the wolvermemes

>>11625023
I personally own a pair of these (got them way back in the day when I was a poor law student) and would recommend them, though I'd be careful to look up recent reviews of them. Last time I was in an LL Bean, the quality had seemed to drop for some reason.

With that said, you'd be a fool not to shoot for the $200-400 range. Much better options, much hardier options, etc. Cheaper boots - like Clarks - tend to fall apart, at least in my experience. Most boots in the $200-400 range are much nicer and will - with proper care - last you a lifetime. Better to spend $350 once than $200 twice or more over a lifetime.

This is under $200

Go on etsy and ebay and look for used/vintage redwings or golden retrievers. I recently found a pair of used Golden Retrievers for 60 bucks on etsy. They were in excellent shape.

>>11628016
Can we get a pic of them on your feet? Thinking about copping.

>>11628305
whats the model of golden retriever in that pic? I can't seem to find it on the website.

I think those are red wings in the pic. This is the exact pair i bought. I'm not sure what the model is and there's some text stamped on the leather but its half worn off and i cant make it out. I don't think they even make Golden Retrievers in this style anymore :/

Any thoughts on Dayton Service boots?

the leather is so soft that you don't even need to break them

>>11628579
bought those on amazon for cheap
good cop but i don't think they will last long (which is ok for me as i like to change) as the leather is so fine.

>>11628579
Thanks for the pic. Good cop, I really love the look of these.

Honestly you might be better off spending more for higher quality
I bought a pair of redwing heritage boots and I love them, take any kind of punishment whatsoever, I fully expect to have and use these boots for years to come with no issues

>>11631802
Soles won't last forever so they'll have to be resoled
They'll fall out of fashion and you'll look like an old memester

>work boots will fall out of fashion

Sure buddy, why are all these men buying shirts and suits, everyone will be wearing gothninjacore by 2017.

>>11631929
