Are Frye retail prices a meme? Are they worth it? I feel like I see these discounted more often than not. pic related, "Will" lace ups, $358
>>11970586
Those don't look great.
Friend of mine had the engineer boots which looked pretty nice.
>>11970586
frye generally seems like overpriced chinese malltrash desu
there are tons of options at a similar or lower price with better quality and looks
Mind making suggestions? I'm down to Wolverine and Redwing. All I need to know?
>>11971240
check out redwing merchant
are docs the way to go for a first pair of boots? I can get solovairs shipped to canada but have no clue about sizing and then there's duty+shipping
also looking for suggestions that will go with majority of basic clothes

>>11971802
Bump for this.
>>11971270
THis
My feet are 27 cm wat do
>>11972319
Well, according to that image which has all this text and directions for you, it says to add 7-8mm (so in your case 27.7 or .8 and then find the closest (larger) to that.
so, pretty much the fifth line down and across.
Fuck, I love being literate.
>>11972332
I know but doc martens look much better when they're a little bit small so I was wondering if it was the same for Solovair
The Great Debate
Which one ?
>>11972511
or
>>11972515
or these.
>>11970586
made in USA?
>>11972301
bump for that
>>11972342
Far right. I got them about a month ago and I'm loving them. I've only worn other shoes when it was raining
How can i make sure that I'm getting what I pay for if i'm buying $300+ boots? i recently got a pair for $200, but they squeak loudly, the store wont accept returns, and they can't be repaired because they're shit.
Should i be researching brands or boot construction? been doing the latter, but i'm lost
>>11971240
Chippewa and Thorogood can be options if you're on a budget
>>11972653
Cool that's the ones I want the most.
What size did you get? And how long are your feet?
>>11971773
delusional
but frye isn't worth retail either

leather-boots?mode=guest_open
Really tempted to try and get in on this because of the slim toebox. But no returns and ordering from the UK is putting me off at the moment.
>>11971240
For the money and general style, I'd just go Redwing. I know /fa/ likes to knock on the Iron Rangers because Reddit likes them, but I absolutely love mine.
I bought them to use as actual work boots and wore them in the shop for years, and they were excellent for what I was doing (TIG welding in a motorsports shop), and they look awesome after getting beat up over the years.
>>11970586
Thursday Boots anyone?
I bought new boots today.
The lady said this is the first year they have the "classic" model but with a wool lining. Is this true? I haven't owned a pair before.
>>11970586
I was about to order these but I'm concerned about the sizing. I'm a ten in converse/birks etc and I have a pair of Nike Trainerenders in a size 10.5 but they're a little small. Should I go for 10.5 or 11?
>>11975786
>Thursday Boots
I don't really know a great deal about them other than Reddit GYW throwing a hissy fit when the kickstarter basically lied.
I do like their Captain boots quite a lot though. Slim toe-box boots are ridiculously difficult to find.
>>11975845
Anyone know how these are compared to the Rothco v-maxes? I'm considering buying them, but I'm not sure about the quality and comfyness, also I have no way of trying them on since they don't sell them in Europe
Suggestion???
Opinions on these? General consensus on Floris van Bommel?
>>11975957
yeah where do you even buy AR 607-1 compilant shoes in Europe?
All the good brands (Bates, Danner, Belleville, Tactical Research...) dont have retailer in EU so you have to ship them from US, with shipping that costs almost as much as the boots themselfs, import tax on top of it. fuck that
Even global brands like Nike or Reebok wont have them in here.

i am wearing my stan smiths (not a meme here everyone is wearing superstars) and suddenly it's incredibly cold and snowing
help
i don't know anything about boots because i generally dislike them, where do i even start?
do i have to buy fucking timberlands?
>>11972342
ID on the far right?
how to break in new docs (mono 1461), pls help
>>11976095
Wear them
>>11976075
If you like timberlands, then yes you could in fact, buy them for snowy weather
>>11976153
i don't want to buy timberlands
everything in this thread looks either like something you wear with one of those silly lumberjack shirts or one of those sophisticated adult menswear things
i don't want to carry my things around in a messenger bag or some lumberjack leather thing
>>11976165
You sound underage. I'm not going to help you because you obviously don't need boots if you're going to bitch about how they look, enjoy the snow faggot
>>11976178
Why are you on /fa/ if you don't care what your shoes look like? What?
>>11976187
I do care, I'm just not a whiny bitch who cant deal with something I don't love at the expense of not having freezing feet. Plus boots have always been a part of my wardrobe.
>>11976194
>boots have always been a part of my wardrobe
along with your fedora and cane?
>>11976187
There are times where functionality matters most such as with very cold or wet conditions. I will throw style out the window and focus on color combinations when I need to wear boots. I don't want to be slipping all over the place and wear sneakers in icy/snowy conditions.
>>11976198
Okay you're obviously underaged, get the fuck out of here retard
>>11976209
you need to go back to mfa
>>11976220
what was the point of coming to a boot thread, expecting to get spoon-fed and then bitch about how people won't give you suggestions you picky nerd. Just give up on fashion as a whole.
>>11976208
Are there any winter shoes that don't look bad?
Myself I'll probably end up having to buy some boots because of the weather, but I would much prefer something that still looks good
>>11976225
>why do you care what you look like??? give up on fashion!!
>meanwhile i, a tested fashion connoisseur and dadcore enthusiast will ALWAYS put functionality above all else - who gives a fuck what you look like?!
because that's what fashion is truly about
really made me think
>>11976226
What I wear in winter are Chippewa service boots with thick boot socks. Not completely water proof but I'm not slipping around all the time. They look pretty good imo when worn with slim pants, they do look silly with skinny fits if that's what you wear.
>>11976232
Again, you're so obviously underaged it hurts, I'm saying that if you really need boots because its that cold, just use boots that serve your purpose retard
>>11976270
so what you are saying is that you look like fucking garbage, we got it.
>>11976288
yep you got it, have fun slipping around in your Stan's lmao
>>11976295
what kind of backwater bumfuck town do you live that they don't put shit on the streets to make them not slippery?
no wonder you don't feel bad about wearing your grandpas clothes
>>11976303
keep going, you're a fucking riot man

What the fuck are you even doing?
>>11976402

>>11976392
yes.
>>11976406
I'm not the guy you replied to with the image but you don't actually tuck in your jeans like that right?
>>11976415
No I saved it from someone on here asking how to wear their Chelsea boots. I thought it was silly
>>11976075
>>11976165
Bro you are fucking retarded
I mean I went through a wigger phase myself where I just wouldn't do with anything vintage but you have taken things to a whole
notha
level
If you really wanna commit to that whole athletic wear shit then wear air force 1 all whites with baggy adidas sweatpants and bombers or some shit like Eminem in D12 videos
>>11976323
lmao
>>11976407
why senpai? i hear they're pretty decent
>>11975987

>>11976336
Ruined by the sole. Anyone know of an almost identical pair with a diff sole?
