Where do I find smooth boots like these?

>>12186084
search ebay/milsurp sites for assault boots

how to actually wear these? i have russian military boots and have no idea what to wear with

Just bought some Bundeswehr ankle boots from the 60s in pretty much mint condition for 150€. Pretty sweet.

>>12186001
I like 8" at the max. Anything over seems to look like women's boots in my opinion, but if you can rock it go for it. It depends on the cut of my jeans but if I'm wearing something slimmer I will tuck them in to the boot or if I'm wearing a looser cut I will let them hang over with a single 1" cuff. Typically I'll wear some darker earthy tones on top because boots seem to work well with the outdoorsy colors and look

Anybody know good boots (not necessarily military) that are good for the outdoors? Mud, rocks, weather, etc. Preferably ones that can be used during all times of the year

>>12186064
what's your height/inseam? 8 inchers look a little awkward on me but i have lanky legs.

>>12186129
I bought a pair of 10 eye docs and I don't know how to wear them either

>>12186660
Just cuff dark jeans as high as you want, I prefer 2 or 3 half inch/inch turns, I guess they could look good with dark cargo/combat trousers tucked in as well, depending on style/colour.

>>12186242
Wool glad you found some anon, post when they arrive

>>12186907
I'm already wearing them, I bought them from my cobbler. Very nice soft leather. Don't have a camera at the moment, so no pictures.

>>12186064
How do these fit, senpai? True to size or large?

Copped some RO search boots just today actually. Gonna wear em around the city this weekend.

Really dig how harvesters look once broken in, not sure about that brown leather part tho

>>12188182
They'll dull down over time from mud/polish

You could use high dye content black polish on the brown on purpose to darken them a lot

>>12188017
You could decide it with a coin flip. Personally I think Red Wings' limited runs in their moc toe boot are great. I'm even unironically fond of the current realtree camouflage boot they have floating around right now.

>>12188580
The forest pattern is kinda weird, but I really have no matching clothing to go with them. I've already got a pair of Beckman's and absolutely love the quality of them, so Red Wing's would be a safe bet.

do whatever you want, just make sure the pants are the right length so they don't pool. Don't wear skinny cut pants with them either since the silhouette won't look right.

Yeah I definitely have. Just make sure they fit well. I often double sock in mine cause the sizing is a little weird but I've been all over in mine. I usually wear mine with chinos or jeans.

surplus store if you're in the us
flea markets if you're a euro
otherwise ebay works but it's tough to buy boots online because sizing is so tricky and the last thing you want is boots that don't fit perfectly

Will do. Though from the posts above it only seems to be 10% which isn't much difference.

>>12194051
True, which is a pain in the ass because I also wanted to grab a pair. You want to split the bill?

Just gotta see if he can ship it out to two different locations/split costs or sort something out.

>>12194068
I think it'd probably be best if one of us received the main package, and then the other pays for regular postage, hopefully this is less expensive for either of us than straight up ordering a pair.

>>12194051
I have them in a size 8 and am willing to sell them if you're interested

Unless you found a seller or something already

Wel it depends on what's cheaper, but if you're in London in fine with meeting up or something to get them. Just don't want to pay double for what should rb a cheap deal.

Sadly I'm not a size 8 man but thanks for the offer. Any specific reason why you're selling them btw?

>>12194187
No probs. Someone just emailed me so they're sold now.
And not really, I really like the boots but I've been more into techwear than anything else lately so they've just sort of sat around unworn for a while so I thought I may as well pass them on to someone who wants them as I know they're a bit of a pain in the ass to obtain, what with rape tier shipping charges or that one ebay seller who sent a bunch of people a completely different boot

>>12194126
you're the telogreika guy right? How tall are you? These boots are dope but I'm afraid I'm way too small to pull them off

>>12194252
>only 5'8

try 5'6 senpai, this shit is not for me I'll have to settle with ankle boots

>>12194258
Maybe, I typically use proportions to elongate my legs in fits with these boots so they dont dwarf me.
Being fa at a shorter height is deff possible you just need to be creative with proportions

>>12190021
You gotta get gats bro

>>12194263
so much this
shorter people think that tall boots are out for them but if the boots are slim rather than chunky and you proportion correctly they can work fine

>>12189553
I like mine a lot; had them before the Trump nonsense.

I'm liberal as well, but I still wear them. I don't give a shit about politics - they're good boots. It seems like most Mainers feel the same way as well.

Looks really nice, but I can't seem to find my size.

Are this variety fairly uncommon?

>>12196186
You mean that model or the style of boot you're looking for?

I've seen plenty of boots like you're talking about but I can't really remember what they were. The sole you're looking for is generally called a wedge sole and it's often made of crepe rubber as seen on the Rick boots you posted.

If I were you I'd save up for a pair of Ricks or Guidis. Both are extremely good quality and getting exactly what you're looking for will be much better than settling for a cheaper pair that aren't as nice.

Guidi does custom work so even though they have only done a few wedge sole options you could have a pair made for you.

>>12196255
I meant the specific model. But yeah, you're probably right - it seems hard to get exactly what I'm looking for in cheaper brands.

Also wouldn't mind milsurp boots (as I said, not wanting something too chunky though), but I can't find any for very cheap. am I just looking in the wrong places?

Only exception is pic related--it's about $30 on eBay, but ships from China. It says it's real leather, but my gut just tells me that I'd regret this purchase.

If someone wants to link me to a cheap black leather boot to hold me over til I can buy something expensive I'd be very thankful.

Canvas Baggy is good enough
the sole rubber lasts long (so long as you don't intentionally grind the shit out of them)
and the canvas is durable (waxable) and the dye will fade at the creases making them look better

if you really want proper leather milsurp, "Belgian" boots are decent
I asked an ebay seller, and they're 10 inch from the ground (9 inch from sole)

I was gonna cop this over Austrians but I would have to install speed hooks myself

>>12196532
>>12196542
Thanks for the feedback, friends. I'm leaning towards the grey/black canvas baggy, especially since I found it on Zappos for $55. I think I can work them into some subtle starwarscore fits and maybe even get some wear out of them in the summer.

> Install speed hooks myself
I'm waiting on delivery of a pair of 8 eye Solovair Derby's, and you've piqued my interest. My ankles are quite slim, so usually getting boots on or off takes a little time.

To compensate, or maybe out of laziness, I often just don't lace the top one or two eyes, but the idea of replacing the top two eyes with speed hooks sounds like it could be a cool compromise.

Depending on how I lace them, they might look weird, but I'm sure there's a way around that.

How hard is it to install these myself? I'm pretty handy, but I'm also not afraid of just going to a cobbler.

Any pics of this irl? A quick Google search didn't show me anything...

>>12196607
Also considering either bleaching white or dyeing black the pull tab on these...How careful do I need to be with not letting the bleach/dye touch the leather? Would I be better off sourcing new fabric and sewing in new tabs myself (or by a cobbler)?
