Got a new pair of Steels. How should I keep them in top condition as long as possible?

>>12274982

Clean and polish them once a week and be mindful of your feet.

>>12274995
>mindful of your feet
What is that supposed to mean? Does that mean taking care that I don't get funghi on my feet or stuff like that?

What products would I use to clean and polish them?

w2c please senpai

>>12275000

Yes. don't stepin puddles, don't jump around, don't walk through a wet field etc.

Use kiwi black polish, a rag and some spit to polish them

To clean you can use water and an old toothbrush, or get one of those sneaker cleaning kits from somewhere like Jason Markk

Do you have a pair of cedar shoe trees? Those help keep the shape (less important with steel toes) but they also get rid of your foot moisture between wearings. Less smells and break down of the leather.
>>12274971
Does anyone have the McRae desert boots? There supposed to be one of the better manufactures since Altama doesn't seem to be making them anymore.

has anyone else completely dropped sneakers from their wardrobe? I haven't worn a sneaker outside of my home in over a year and I'm considering just ditching them completely, with the exception of a pair for exercising

>>12275020
I see. Thank you.

Joke question, is kicking people OK to do?

I have some high quality polish I got from my grandfather and I have a "toothbrush" brush for shoes.

>>12275026
No cedar shoe trees, I'll have to hack something (rice packets/moisture absorbers you put in your car). I'll also keep them in my room where it's warm rather than in my cold, wet anteroom.

>>12275032
Me! I have farmer's shoes and then there's the new Steels. I also have dress shoes, but fuck me if they haven't got a steel toe cap as well.

I dont wear anything other than boots

>>12274982
I wear some DM industrial steels every day for college and they're holding up brilliantly considering I've worn them all day every day since september.

get two brushes, one stiff(ish) plastic and one made of horse hair, once a week brush down with stiff one and apply polish with a soft cloth, I usually use cherry but I've recently got some kiwi which seems to be pretty good so far, leave it for ~5mins and then brush off using the horsehair brush. What I found out very quickly is that the toe on steels tends to scuff a lot so to avoid this looking like shit after a couple days, every night when I get in I brush the toe cap down with the horse hair brush and then give it a quick rub with a silicon shoe shine sponge which keeps them looking great.

>>12275058
>scuff a lot
Happened today. First day, had them for like 4 hours and a piece of leather chipped off on the steel toe. Will do the stuff you said tonight, thanks!

>>12274971
I'm completely new to boot care in general.

Is there a good guide available?
Like what are the best polishes you can use or do you even need to worry about what sort of polish to use if you just having a black boot?

If you're taking care of say Common Projects combat boots are they different from taking care of Saint Laurent boots?

>>12275065
Yeah I'd polish the toe cap a lot to get the leather to soften (sounds contradictory but it stops them 'chipping' I had it happen to me when I first got mine) getting a really good shine on them also helps reduce damage as things tend to slide rather than dig into the leather

>>12275084
Unfortunately the boot general doesn't have a pastebin or anything but here's the brief of it

There is no 'best polish' as different polishes are for different things, cream based polish is for restoring colour and wax based is for protecting the shoe, with coloured polish you really want to get as close a colour as possible unless you want to change the colour of your boots. Caring for all black boots is basically the same, its coloured leather where things get complicated, the more extensive the boot the closer to the exact colour you want and you should avoid using anything silicon or petroleum based on expensive boots
ama not answered here

>>12275123
Thank you very much!

I was looking through the different black cream polishes and I was worrying whether or not there's differences in quality between Doc Martens or Red Wing black polish.

>>12275013
w2c basic plain black combat boots like these anymore. i wore the soles off the ones ive been wearing for years and I can't find them anywhere

>>12275135
Ive tended to avoid polish by the actual shoe companies unless I want the exact colour, the best cream polish I've ever used is by a Spanish company called TRG - the one for wax based I use cherry blossom and kiwi parade gloss for that extra shine as well as a Clark's patent leather sponge to give them a mirror like finish like I said in the above post

>>12275536
depends on your height, the boots, what look you wanted etc etc

>>12275593
I'm 6'2''. I've never wore boots (apart for Chelsea boots and mountain boots) so I literally don't know where to start.

>>12275597
>what are the boots
Clunky boots need to be with slim trousers. The less loud the profile of the boot the more flexibility you have with the pant choice. Let it bunch up on top of the boot, dont force it to be over or cuff it unless you're going for heritage meme shit.
Spend a lot on your boots, good ones last a long time. Make sure they don't look ugly. 90% of fa seems to be in (or just has) highschooler taste.

When trying on boots, how tight shold they feel around my forefoot?

Should I be able to url my toes all the way?

Booting

what should i put in my boot care kit, and how use it? how often, too?

>>12275041
Do want.

I have this problem where I seem to have what's called an outstep where I walk on the outside of my foot more than the inside. When I noticed my work shoes were wearing out on the outer side of the sole I checked all my other shoes and sure enough they were they same. Been trying to correct it with the way I walk, like consciously putting more pressure on the inside, but shit is still happening, and all my shoes get ruined prematurely because of it due to the sole wearing out in a slant and getting unbalanced. Anyone know how to fix this? like with an insert or something? I don't feel like I walk weird but the proof is there on all my shoes and with how I've already tried to correct it not working I'm at a loss for what to do. :(

>>12277230
Try seeing a doctor. I'm sure they'd have advice on fixing your gait.

>>12275912
I love SLP, but I don't think $800 is that great of a price. Common Projects has something very similar but a little shorter, but they seem to sell out before any sales, at least last season.

I think I've finally found the boot I've been looking for - practical sole, welted, nice black leather, slim enough profile, no retarded add-ons or goofy stitching and it costs 140 queen coins which is very fair compared with my other options.

I'm only unsure about what size to order - does anyone have a Solovair boot with a 493 last?, if so what size are you in other boots/generally?

Take out those shitty leather 'insoles' in them, was discussed in a previous thread and 4 anons all found this stopped them squeaking and made them comfier you can replace them if you want but its not really necessary

Brush down with a stiff brush
Cover in Vaseline and wipe off the next day
2-3 thick coats of cherry black polish
2-3 thin coats of kiwi black polish
1 coat of kiwi parade gloss
Then buff and wipe with silicon sponge
repeat the process until you're satisfied (except Vaseline that's only really to soften them up/stop cracking when you first get them
Obviously leave each coat for 5mins and then brush off with a horsehair brush

Personally would prefer black. Also when the soles wear out, the screws will make noise, and I would prefer lighter boots. Overall the silhouette is nice though, the brand is not bad either

>>12283044
I dont really like ruboff boots, other than that they look good boots and screw soles means easily replaceable

Just got Austrian meme boots. Leather is good but sole is of both boots is that soles have begun to split but can be taken to cobbler and fixed at good price $30-40~. I am size 12 but I order 13 they are a bit tight but you can just take the two insole layers and put a thin one and its all good.

Also Order at least two US sizes up if you want room if you like stretching your toes.

2nd looks waaaay off from the other ones

>>12283002
Forgot to mention before, I kept them with socks tightly packed in the toe crease area for the first couple days to try and give them their shape back as they were so flat they were touching the top of my foot, happy to say that its worked perfectly and they've kept their new shape so I'd definitely recommend doing that (probably better with shoe trees)

that sounds bad, they even have reinforced canvas there presumably to stop that from happening. Any casual comfortable boots I can wear daily? just something thats comfortable and sturdy for ~11k steps daily

Good to hear, i normally wear sneakers and my 1490s, but i want some tough boots for the festivals coming up this summer. Pits, and all that. If these won't be solid for that, i'll get Grinders.

I have typical tan combat army boots.

They were bright tan, similar to beige, but after some wear, I can see certain parts darkening into dark tan.. is there any way to whiten, or beigify them again?

Just warm water, and a nylon brush?

Meme boots arrived today. Look to be in pretty decent shape, super comfortable. Only one problem: I should've sized down, they're too roomy. Any way to fix that? Planning on replacing the insoles and wearing thicker socks, will that do the trick? Or is there some way to make leather fit more snugly?

Ok guys to repair a sole on austrian boots costs $15 and full sole replacement cost $75. Just so you know cause i spent $120 fixing Austrian meme boots.

>>12287824
75$ doesn't seem terrible if the leather lasts.

>>12286900
very bad sizing and material. Praised by rednecks who have never worn anything else and proclaim "it's wut the muhreens use."

If you want all-leathers get McRae boots. They look identical but the difference in quality is amazing. I've tried both

I got a non-brand version of the black canvas ones from sportsman's guide for like $25. They look just like palladiums except simplified, a little slimmer, and you can't button them down (not that anyone should). I put an insole in and they're pretty freaking comfy. Pic related is the first night I had them; the rubber is less shiny now and they look much better imo.

link?

>>12292727
I normally wear a 9, so I think I got a size 10 because all the comments said they ran crazy small. But irl they're pretty much tts, maybe a liiittle bit on the small side of what's advertised. I just stuck a gel insole in and they fit better now.
They look slimmer irl than in the pics, but in a good way. The chunky sole doesn't look out of place, and I've gotten compliments every time I've worn them.
Would definitely recommend, especially for that price.
I live in South Texas so leather combat boots are out of the question most of the year, but these are nice and breathable. I was pleasantly surprised.
