Red Wing 8111 Iron Ranger in Amber Harness, the best entry level boot, is what you need, pardner!

You can keep all that preppy fagboy bs, I'm into / W O R K W E A R / and classic 'cana, pardner!

BYE BYE

I bought a pair of tan monks for my formal this year for 40 aud. Their a fairly good pair too.
> feels good man

God I hate monk straps

>>12596332

/fa/ hates monkstraps.
But they are probably the most versatile shoe you can wear. Also super comfy.

Go for it I'd say. Make sure to buy some of decent quality. $300 minimum.

The Beckmans are more versatile, cheaper and come with a superior and easier to replace sole.

>>12596332
Only if they're single strap. Plus the pair you posted is complete garbage. Shit leather for starters.

>>12596487
But you can get any sole on any boot when you send them in to the Red Wing factory.............................................. and when is cheapness relevant when discussing FASHUN and how are they more versatile they're both casual boots you can't wear them with a suit you fucking retard

>>12596507
For 100 bucks yes. When a cobbler can replace the rubber under the Beckman's for 20.

Piece of shit fag fuck. Did I trigger you by not liking your literal reddit boots? Go kill yourself.

Meermin is supposedly good for the price.

roast me /fa/m

>>12596487
they are not cheaper.

>>12596598
quite alright, but I think that you should where a shirt with those shoes.

I just told this story in IRC so I'll repeat it:
>Hot summer day
>Be walking around in suicokes on the street
>See guy on a bench
>Cool Korean dude, notice he's wearing reddish double monkstraps, piqued my interest
>Later on standing outside of a grocery
>See a qt Korean in a nice dress
>She's looking around kind of lost looking
>Then the Korean dude I saw before comes up and meets her
>His fit is double reddish monkstraps, cropped trousers with a clean white button up tucked in
>Now I am convinced monks are kewl af

It doesn't really help, maybe ask the formal nerds over at styleforum. I guess my point was he was wearing them casually in the summer and he pulled them off strong. I don't see why they can't be worn both casually and formally. I'd go for a quality pair though. Maybe check out /r/goodyearwelt for that. With that said if you know nothing about clothes, a much safer bet would be a nice pair of derbys (or maybe some oxfords/bucks) that you can dress up or down.

Not even close.

>>12596658
so, how long have you been having them? 2 months? Did you buy one every month as you said?

>>12596658
post fits

>>12596332
I am a fan of monkstraps but I'm not sure they can be worn with just Chinos (no blazer that is)

I think brown brogues would be more versatile depending how formal you need to wear them

>>12596615
I don't know why but Koreans can pull of all sorts of crazy cool shit

Maybe it's confirmation bias and I assign every poorly dressed Asian as Chinese and every well dressed Asian as Korean but clothes just seem to fit them so cleanly

>>12596332

Yes they can be worn with just chinos. I own a pair in black suede.

2 months, bought a pair of cordovan oxfords got a good deal for some MTO alligator loafers, but still waiting for them (pic related).
Making a small break this month and will probably get some burgundy wholecuts next month.
After that might save up for a few pairs for boots for the colder seasons.
