Best entry level "real" boots?

>>12050208
not those

>>12050208
super entry level? Timbs.

If not, buy some old redwings secondhand and read a guide on how to take care of them.

dress boots
they look good, versatile, acceptable, are of common origin (the original version of boots not intended for a specific purpose), you can hide them under pants and fool people into believing that you wear just dress shoes, or cuff the pants and show them off

>>12050246
I have these.

They're pretty nice, holding up after a year. Looks pretty decent; but /fa/ will call me a faggot for endorsing timbs.

>>12050270
the brand has been ruined by nigs but these dont look like timbs so its okay

>>12050270
Also how do they fit? r they comfy? also can u move well in them?

>>12050305
i have those, they are pretty old now, maybe more than 4 years old. Nice boots, comfy, sole is pretty small now as i walked a lot in them.

>>12050323
also yes you can move easily with those, they are very light compare to doc martens as example.

>>12050208

They're the best white people Timbs.

>>12050323
How loud are they? Do they sound like high heels?

>>12050216
>buy some old redwings secondhand and read a guide on how to take care of them.
Not OP, but dunno where I'd get a secondhand pair. Are they worth getting a new pair?

>>12050264
I'd like a pair of boots that look like these but are black and have some tread on the bottom. Anybody know where I might be able to find some?

Wolverines
Red Wings

$200-$400 but you won't need another pair ever again.

What the fuck is entry level? Do you level up the more you wear something?

>>12051018
In reference to price range. Entry level is typically when you start spending a few hundred dollars on a piece where the quality starts to become very apparent.

Remember, single pieces of clothing can cost thousands of dollars.

>>12051008
GOAT. goes well with anything and are actually pretty rugged

>>12051017
second this

red wings have superior quality

but if you don´t have the money i would go for cheaper blundstones

>>12051008
Love my blundstones, but if you're gonna get them, get them soon. They're gonna become a meme soon. Also, I've heard that the rubber degrades in warmer, drier climates and starts flaking apart. I've had no issues though (but I'm in Canada) and they're holding up great for me through heavy use. Red Wings are nice but the soles are too soft and will wear down quickly if you wear them a lot. Bludstones are Super comfy too right out of the box, unlike RWs that take a lot of time to break in and are painful to wear during the process (blisters, etc.)

>>12051051
>They're gonna become a meme soon
I heard that they already became a meme with certain rock stars wearing them

>>12051072
Who was this? Anyways, they're definitely picking up speed among the effay people at my uni, so I reckon about the end of this winter or the start of next fall is when the majority of people will latch on to them. Luckily they're minimalist enough to go with almost anything, and expensive enough to stop most poor people from getting them, but still. If you want em, get em before the year is out, imo.

If you can't afford them, buy used ones or get a job.
no reason to buy boots for around 100 bucks. they are shit and you will buy a new pair too soon. Red Wings for about 320 bucks last you years and that way you safe tons of money.

>>12052979
why

>>12051017
This, I know they're "expensive" for high school students working McJobs but Red Wings and Wolverines are pretty low priced, especially when you compare them with some of the sneakers that are popular around here. You're getting a lot of value for your money.

$300 pretty much is an "entry" level price. even $1,000 isn't really getting into the great stuff.

>>12053067
>You're getting a lot of value for your money.
The only thing you aren't getting is a pair of boots that actually looks good. Which is really what most people on /fa/ wants. ( i think)

Can you post some of that good stuff?

>>12052991
i guess we were talking about his fashion-style rather than his music. also name one musician that genuiely created something from scratch. i think every musician has his influences.

>>12053197
influences? he literally copies entire styles from other bands, starting from his MBV cover album to his Rolling Stones cover album, and his Beatles cover album, and his Bob Dylan cover album

>>12053228
so? he just fucks with the formula and recreates stuff that he likes. its the spirit of postmodernism if you like and and a very eclectic way to achieve things, nothing wrong with that. saw them twice actually and their live shows are pretty awesome.

>>12053240
how is it eclectic at all to make a bunch of late 60's/early 70's greatest hits albums? he acts like a total dick as if hes some rock visionary and releases crap album after crap album. Their Satanic Majesties might literally be their only good album in whole, even Thank God suffers from 30 minutes of intellectual masturbation with that "fire song" at the end. Maybe Take it from the Man! is alright as well, but considering the discography volume I'd say he's done poorly and goes beyond "hit or miss"

>>12053259
>>12053259
>somehow being even more pretentious than Anton

>>12053259
yeah maybe he´s acting a little over the top, but he never sold out and one of his greatest accomplishments is that he owns the rights to all of his released music. so in a way BJM is one of the last real independent bands. the band has made an huge impact over the last decades, though i totally dislike the rise of washed-out neo-psychedelia these days. get over it, he released a couple of good music and now he can do whatever he wants, just like the beatles did in their prime.

They look great, but those heels look like they'll make shitload of noise when you strut in them.

Can anyone recommend some light brown, mid-length boots? Timbs make you look like a nigger or construction worker and Chelseas make you look like a twink. Budget is around $300.

Mines soles came apart when I left them in the car. And the tongues tore immediately at the seam.

Mine didn't last for shit and they sucked to actually walk outdoors in because gravel always got in.

I normally wear skate shoes and jeans and a knit sweater. Looking to upgrade my style since i'm not a teenager anymore. How do i into boots without rolling up the hems like a faggot?

Get a new pair, they break in to fit your own feet. Second hand boots is gross too.

>>12053135
Seconded. The highest tier I am aware of is Viberg. Whites, Nicks, etc. I want to see what you consider the great stuff. Not trying to be snarky and rude, just genuinely curious.

I would say Red Wing. That's really the lowest tier, and Red Wing is the best out of Chippewa, Thorogood, Wolverine etc.

You don't want to get anything lower than that level because you're gonna be getting shitty leather that will look unsightly and be uncomfortable, and you probably won't be getting a Goodyear welt.
