Is it possible to pull off the square toe?

Also would I have to avoid anything skinny on the legs because it'll overaccantuate the boxyness (skinny is going out, but still)?

>>12672438
Do you want to try to pull them off because you actually like them or because they're Rick and on sale

Want to get a long lasting and sturdy but still somewhat fashionable leather boot. Heard a lot about Red Wing and Chippewa. What would you guys recommend?

>>12672441
I don't care about Rick, but I do want to try and pull them off because I really want harness boots and they are indeed on sale. I'll try them on in person when I get back to Toronto but I want a preliminary opinion
I think it can work the way I'm seeing it now, but it might be different when I have them on feet and am wearing the type of trouser I'd wear with them.

>>12672458
Find a local artisan and get something custom made for yourself

>>12672460
Also at this point I've looked at them so much and thought about what I'd wear so much that I just can't think straight about them at all

>>12672337
Would those boots look retarded on a short girl?

>>12672458
I bought that exact boot last year on sale at burgundy shoes coincidentally. anywho, they are fedora shoes, returned them. also chippewa is garbage

>>12672466
Nah, tall boots on short girls are cute. If you're like freakishly short don't though, don't wanna make yourself look smaller than you already are and I'd only really recommend if you're attractive, otherwise you'll just look a freak

>>12672438
I really hate square toed shoes so I'd sag definitely not. Didn't SLP do something very similar ?

>>12672488
Yeah, if I could get SLP harness boots (I'd actually get Jodhpur or London before harness but regardless) I would, but I'm not about dropping more than $1000 on a pair of boots

>>12672488
What is considered freakishly short?

>>12672506

>>12672508
I'm 4'11 desu

>>12672512
Yeah you're really smol, you might be able to get away with 14s if you're thin or maybe 10 if you're a bit more average

>>12672458
I have some red wing iron rangers, got them like 3-4 years ago. They're great, very comfy after you get them broken in and overall worth the money. I mean, at the end of the day, they're brown leather boots, if you get something quality and take care of them, they're gonna last you and do a good job of looking like nice brown leather boots.

Compared to boots made of leather

Honestly my ranking of boots:

+ Doc martens = leather autism trench coat

+ Red wings = sjw/male femnist reddit user liberal arts college kid who wears gap and shit like bonobos thinking he looks amazing


+ Chelsea : effminate obnoxious kid "into fashion" who wears because he saw SLP shoes once and thinks any black Chelsea boot with any skinny strech cotton/spandex motorcycle pant = Heidi.

Engineer boots: slightly older reddit user slightly autistic fascination with STEM because he thinks being associated with "science" the marketing term makes him smart. Watches big bang theory thinks it's smart comedy, collects anything with a NASA logo, reposts bullshit space photos, collects fuunko pop figures from movies and TV shows that he really doesn't know or care about....like.dr.who and game of thrones. Has only had 4-5 sex partners 2-3 of them being 3-5/10 chubby awkward not indemand chicks he's had really fucking long term relationships with because he can't do any better.

I have never owned boots before. I'm a 5'7 110lbs Manlet. I've been looking at Chelsea boots but only because I can't find any lace up boots that don't have a bulbous toe cap like red wing irs. Does anyone know of a brand that has smart formal looking lace up boots? I don't want to look like a fucking clown and I don't really care about the construction of a boot, just want something that looks nice. I'd rather not get chelseas but I may just have to.

How do I make my Docs not look like stupid retard boots? The laces look like they go too far between eyelets and expose too much of the tongue. The tongue looks stupid and bulgy on its own, but when I dorsiflex my foot, the tongue juts out and pushes the eyelets futher apart. Also when I walk for like 30 minutes, the tongues usually shift way over to the side and you just see my pant leg in place of the leather. I've had them for a few weeks, are they just not broken in yet?

[spoiler]or did I buy into a meme boot?[/spoiler]

>>12674676
1. You got unlucky with the quality.
2. They gavent broken in yet.
3. You're doing something wrong.

Mine did all that shit too at the start but now the tongue doesnt get displaced ever and I can tighten them up much more.

Re-read, boneheads still use white laces, and sometimes RASH use red laces but other people could also be using red laces for aesthetic purposes.

Still, white is uncommon for aesthetics and more common for /pol/acks.

t. RASH skin who uses red laces.

You've got fat legs, should have sized up. If they look too big in your feet sized up you need a different brand/style to accommodate for your kankles

There's some Red Wings in my size on sale that I'd like to cop, but I'm not sure which pair to get.

The Iron Rangers are probably more wearable and a safer choice (and cheaper), but I've always been tempted by engineer boots. Anyone actually own a pair of Red Wing engineer boots? Do you like them or regret getting them?

I use white, red, yellow and pink laces just fine without any faggots coming up to me to ask about politics or nuthin'. Went to play at a gig the other night, there were a few obv skinheads in the crowd that I had a small chat with, they were just wearing red laces to show off their boots. Only faggots like from the "Suomen Sisu"-club use white laces for "muh white power".

they have a frontzip on sale at the store here for 500 bux in my size...tempted to buy but it's reverse stag (i.e. the "suede" side facing out with the smooth leather surface inside)

what can i wear these with without looking like a teenage girl or a skinhead

boot noob here. im probably gonna get shit on for asking such a dumb question but if I buy 6 inch boots, should I be cuffing or tucking in my boots so you can see the entire boot?

ive never really worn shoes that went past my ankles so i dunno how I should be wearing stuff like that to make it look good. im assuming shoes that go past your ankle, you want to show them off, right?

>>12677443
Always tuck, never cuff.

>>12677443
Six inches isn't very high cuff if you want but tucking into a boot less than 8 inches is useless.

>>12677443
It's not mandatory, it depends on the fit. Honestly I just do whatever I'm feeling in the moment. Only tuck into 8 inches or more and only tuck cargo pants or similar and remember that it looks very military.

>>12677428
The boots in the back are biker/engineer-boots. Really big and clunky to wear desu. And yeah, I'll swap the laces sometime soon, is and old pic that I posted.

Sorry for ignoring you I hadn't seen the reply.
Not Made in England, these are 1919s, not 1460s. They have steel toe and 10 holes, 1460s have 8 holes and no steel toe.
They hold up pretty well except for the leather starting to wear around the toe heavily and where its broken in, I dont mind it, it's not fucking up the boot, much less in the toe.
For some reason DM pulled these out just as I was going to buy them so I got them off a reseller, they didnt even liquidate stocks, I dokt understand their online page, they also seemingly pulled out the non MiE 14 hole 1914 boots (which were the second modt popular model after the 1460 and a classic).
They do weird stuff.

They look beaten, and beaten Docs look the best. OPs pic is actually my pair of 1914s with steel-toe caps on 'em. How often do you wear your and do you wear them throughout the year? I wore my 1490s until they started to get splits behind the toecaps (soft toe-caps) and that was just after 4-6 months of wear through snow, rain and summer. Yours look to be in a really decent condition for 2 years of wear.

I always go out in them, but I never took a habit of wearing them every day because of the time it took me to lace them. I acquired this pair before becoming a skin, I got interested in all of this through these boots. So specially at the start I didnt know what to match them with. The weather here is gentle enough, even though Im moving to the mountain soon. The boots are full of scratches and other shit rather than being generally worn out, and it could also be the flash.

The toe is specially very worn out, but the bootd themselves are fine. I'm a fat lazy shit and I live in buttfuck nowhere for now without anyone I can inmediately poke and go out around so when Im walking with these its when I go out or when Im some place like when I was in school, so I guess thats why they arent that worn. I think they will take a spin when I move out because of the harsher climate.

Here you can see that they are wearing out where broken in behind the steel toe and other stuff.

Fun fact, these laces I bought at the London's original DM shop and the clerk was a massive supporter of Solovair's over docs. They also have some scratches because I kicked in a safety glass window once during 2016 summer shenanigans and my foot was stuck for a moment.

>>12678340
They look tight. You a RASH, trad, etc...?

And yeah, imo it goes like this;

Solovairs>>actual vintage Docs (pre-2003)>>>>vintage-line Docs>>>>>>>>>>>>chink-Docs

Your boots like that, consider polishing them at least once though, they'd look even nicer.

>>12678360
I'll just stick some wonder balsam up their ass sometime soon.

I consider myself a RASH, even though I do not identify with american meme politics or le cuck left may may.

Yeah, but that's more of a thing because they pick the skinhead thing as a cult shit based om their "ideology" because they are literally retarded.

There is nothing skinhead with boneheads.

>>12678523
Exactly. But I live in Finland, the skinhead-culture that arrived here wasn't inspired by the trads, more by the European Nationalist-shitheads.

I don't have a problem with skinheads, but you just don't meet or see them as often as you'd think. That's why most people in our country associate skinheads with racism, violence and oppression.

Me and my friend were visiting for the Tuska-festival. Me and my friend were just talking next to the entrance and this one skin (prob drunk) walked onto me, pushed me as if I had pushed him and obviously tried to start a rumble by taunting at me. His buddies, 4 or 6 guys were just lurking the situation from the side, I was flustered at the situation and run-walked into the R-Kioski. The dude tried to kick me and yelled something like "That crustie' bigger than us but is still running away, fucking faggot!"

I know they were probably just looking for some mayhem but yeah. What a bunch of twats.

Size down if you plan on not wearing thick socks or thicker insoles tts if you plan on doing either of those.

Does tucking into 6 inch boots really look that bad even if the boots are the same color as the denim? I feel like wearing black boots and cuffing black jeans doesn't really "show off" the boot, but tucking my jeans into them makes the silhouette a little less clunky. Whenever I tuck my jeans into my boots, I tie them as tightly as possible so it doesn't look like >>12680757

>>12680933
You can stack in 6 inch boots but tucking in anything under 8 is kind of a no no as far as I'm concerned. I actually think that the pic you linked is actually decent for what hes trying to do but to each their own.

It'll only make your legs look shorter, be careful to keep the silhouette and possibly colors too consistent all the way down. Tucking skinny jeans into boots should be OK for your legs though.

>>12681431
Wear them with literally anything casual desu, it'll either go with an edgier more masculine outfit or contrast a more feminine one. Cuff those pants with those boots though imo. Fuck tights though docs with a skirt or dress is fine.

My Size 9 Docs are too big (Need fat socks for them to fit snug like my size 9 Timbs do with regular socks) will Size 9 Memeboots fit similar?

I'm sure some of you have Danner boots. What are your thoughts on them?
I was looking at a pair of mountain lights for both hiking and winter use. Thought about the dark brown ones initially, but I think I wear too much black for that to be a good idea. I'm interested in how the leather holds up for both black and brown boots.
Pics of your boots would be much appreciated -- bonus points if they've been thoroughly loved.

I'm looking some good Chelsea boots with uncolored leather.

Take a hike / go for walks A LOT

I have a pair of Docs 1490 and one of the boots fits much tighter on the top of the foot than the other for some reason even though my feet are pretty much the same size (One is a tiny bit longer than the other)?

>>12674676
Dont EVER FUCKING TUCK YOUR PANTS INTO YOUR BOOTS EVER AGAIN

>>12682977
Nah nothing really negative to say about them desu, take the 'insoles' out when you first get them to stop them squeaking but nah can only sing praises of them. I bought them used from eBay so I don't know about what they're like to wear in but can't imagine they're bad.

>>12683403
Killing your heels is unavoidable. I usually just wear them all day every day for the first two weeks (absolutely kills) but then they're completely fine after that. Fastest way to break them in. Also I find it helps a lot if on the first day you get them you leave them on over night and take them off when you wake up then put them back on when you go out that day

Hey /Boot/
How do all of you store all of your boots? I have a shoe rack in my closet, but my boots are too big to fit in it.

>>12683403
wear them with very thick socks and walk a lot. for what it's worth, I think I got lucky because I broke mine in without any bleeding, blisters or really much pain at all. I'm definitely in the minority though

>>12684180
>all day for two weeks
Jesus /fa/ always said docs are cheap but I never could have imagined

Post boots pls

Yeah same mine barely just fit in the bottom of my cupboard

>>12684303
my china-made all-black docs were absolutely battered after only a year of regular use and abuse (that's a single winter)
the leather where the foot creases the boot was gone to shit and there were holes big enough to touch my socks... but I could've lived with that. the bad part is that the sole itself had cracked all along the width, left to right, again where the foot creases. any time I'd step in a little puddle the water would go right up and my socks would get wet.
you get what you pay for, and you pay for shit

>>12684434
just get regular 1460s in black
these wont last you long

Don't buy China docs, save up for MIE, Solovair or Gripfast instead. Pic related are my work Docs after 3 months.

>>12684603
OR if you get lucky and know your way around auctioning, get yourself some pre-2003 vintage Docs.

where do you guys buy your boots at? ebay? straight from the manufactures website?

ive pretty much been wearing sneakers all my life but kinda want to get into wearing boots. just for casual outings and stuff.
i looked up red wings since that gets mentioned a lot and saw that those boots are like $300+
not sure if im willing to pay that much for boots. im sure the quality of the boots are worth that much but i feel like stuff like that can be cheaper on other websites.
mind you, i havent settled on red wings, just giving an example. still looking around at brands.

>>12685583
The reason for the cost is up to material quality, construction, and first-world labor mainly. A more expensive boot can also be recrafted once the sole wears down if it has a welted construction and high-quality leather, and it's not unexpected for good boots to last 6+ years with regular use and care. $300 is considered entry-level.

>>12685597
>>12685583
I've had my 1ks for more than six years and walked at least 600 miles in them. I've resoled them more times than I can count. They've just kinda molded to my feet.

They were expensive but I think they have definitely proven worth it. I can only imagine how well a burlier boot like Red Wing would age.

How are the Solovair boots? Since they were the original contractor for Docs. I heard their quality never suffered like Docs did because they never moved operations overseas. Are made in England Docs the same or would you say Solovairs are better? I just got my first pair of cheap docs and I'm really digging these air cushioned soles.

>>12679972
toe box is very ugly, shoe looks low quality DNC

>>12688606
Solovairs are the same quality as vintage Docs. With adequate balsaming and polishing, they should last you a while. However, don't wear them everyday through every season, these kinds of boots hate snow, heavy rain, mud and cold temperatures (around -10C and below that). Let them dry out and rest after a day of wear and brush dirt and dust off them after every wear. If you dig the Docs you got, then go for it. Remember tho, greasy over hi-shine leather.

>>12688100
The second pair are standard 1460s
The first are called 8217s or something but they were only made for a short period in the 80s I believe

They're certainly better quality than my pre 2003 docs. Much nicer leather etc. Can't say what they're like compared to mie docs quality wise but they're definitely a nicer type of leather

uh thanks i guess, there is only a single black leather boot on all 3 pages

must have missed that one though and it looks decent

I'm a UK 12 looking for my first pair of boots. I dress pretty casual and want a versatile pair of boots.

I was thinking of getting some timbs for £115 or any other recommendations around that price range ?

Question what boots would you guys recommend to someone with sciatica?

I've got a pair of Black Docs for life with 8 eyelets but wanna go for a different style boot.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question here...

two are the same thing and the other two is a synthetic upper and composite to

all leather upper and steel toe is like basic work and safety requirements. why the hell is it so hard to find?

I have a military inspired aesthetic and i use doc monos for when im going through snow or hiking etc, but i want to find some boots that are military-esque but work better with more casual pants like chinos and stuff-- i really like Steve McQueen-like looks but desert boots are pretty outplayed at this point. what do? ty

Those look terrible

>>12691980
Which timbs?

>>12691982
I'd probably go with something air cushioned because a lot of back problems are often related to problems with your feet so the softer soles are probably best. try nps's site they do loads of different styles. Also obligatory solovair

Is it a valor thing or is it like wearing a suit to the grocery store?

For anyone interested in wearing Jungle Boots I have some tips.
Watch out for Chinese fakes, Jungle boots seem to be the number one boot to make bootleg copies of, the quality of the fakes is abysmal and will usually say made in China INSIDE the boot. Always check in person for the stitching on the heel of the boot, its a telling sign that it is legit.

Size wise, Jungle's are very close to your regular shoe size, unlike most military garments there is no tricky oversizing going on here. My Jungle/sneaker shoe size is 7, on a pair of Doc Martens my size is a 6. You can always find the size on the bottom of the boots across from the "Ro-Search" branded sole marker. The soles on Jungle boots are a very hard rubber that can easily last 2 years of CONSTANT wear (I wear mine for work, school, hiking, dates etc.) However this hard rubber (along with a steel plate along the bottom of the shoe) make it very hard on your feet. Make sure to get insoles or inserts for Jungle Boots, otherwise your feet WILL suffer. I personally like using Superfeet Green, you can have a someone size you up and cut them to size at a local REI.

I recommend replacing the laces on your Jungles when you first get them as well. The waxy laces most jungles come with are crap, I personally cut out some 550 Paracord to the length I need and just burn the ends to make my new laces, Paracord is strong yet somewhat flexible on top of having a smooth weave that lets it slide around the metal eyelets of boots easily, cutting down on how long it takes to lace up and down.

Here's the side profile compared to my new pair of Doc's. If you're used to Doc Martens I cannot stress enough how different the soles are in Military Boots, they are HARD and not squishy at all, you need to make sure to get good inserts and toughen up your feet and knees.

For maintenance of the leather, some black kiwi shoe polish will do the job just fine, my boots are in poor shape because I didnt do the effort to maintain them properly.
The fastest way to break in Jungle Boots is to get them wet and wear them around till they dry. Make sure to wear dark wool socks during this process, most jungle boots still leak excess olive green dye since they have been sitting in storage for 30 or more years and have never been worn before. If you want a modern pair of Jungles there are only a couple manufacturers left like Altama or McRae. Hope this helps any anons who want a relatively cool looking yet functional boot. And the canvas uppers make it one of the most comfortable and breathable military boots out there.

can anyone give me some good websites to buy popular brand boots at good prices?
someone recommended me sierratradingpost a while back but they almost never have the boots in my size.
any websites similar to that? looking for stuff like red wing, chippewa, wolverine, thorogood, etc.

>>12692327
Ngl that series of posts was a little spergy but really helpful, probs best boot review ever posted in a boot general. Kinda made me wanna get a pair. Any recommended websites to get the old ones from ? Any reason to go for new old stock vs just get a pair from one of the brands you listed? Also if I remembered correctly the rothco boots are shit?

>>12692551
Try eBay man, not sure about the brands you listed but I usually get my Dr martens from there and they're just as good quality as what you get in the store for about half the price

Go for it man not much to lose, report back when they arrive

Pants. Maybe cargos? Think these could be incorporated into a lunar core fit if done right.

Whats the fabric made from? Can it be dyed I might buy some.

is it blasphemous to put in doctor scholls in your boot?

>>12692079
lol thanks for the giggles m8

>>12692654
I've never really understood the need for insoles but I guess if you want you can. Seems like a bad idea buying boots that fit you with insoles because then you have to wear insoles at all times and your buying boots that are too big for you. It also seems like itd stop you wearing in the soles of your boots properly meaning you can never get that level of comfort a well worn boot gives you. Also you won't notice it if you find a pair that fit you brilliantly or are really comfortable for you

>>12692239
kinda military core so maybe same basic fits as Nike SFBs

>>12692642
Ripstop canvas uppers, you can probably bleach and re-dye it

>>12692592
Rothco is definitely shit yes, they are the made in china boots with their logo melted into the soles total garbage with faux leather and flimsy uppers. There is very little difference between an OG pair and the expensive newer versions from Altama or McRae. Altama recently got a contract by the govt to start making Jungle Boots again and the "new" Jungle 2 boots look amazing. The problem is...we cant buy any, all production has gone into supplying the military and govt contractors so nobody knows when we will be able to purchase them. If you have any reputable army surplus places near you I would recommend those places first to check for boots. Beware though, there are so many awful army surplus places selling made in china rothco shit everywhere. I could sperg out about finding the right army surplus place because that can be a whole ordeal based on where you live. One site that I have bought from before is here, the prices are HIGH though, at a real army surplus place you can find OG Jungles for around 50 bucks max.

Once you have Jungle boots you CAN resole them, any cobbler worth his salt can and HAS worked with jungle boots before and should have no issue keeping your pair good to go for several years to come.

I also forgot to mention that Jungle boots evolved during the vietnam war, meaning there are several variations in the tread. I recommend the Panama sole but a Vibram tread means its from early in the conflict and that theres alot of history in that boot. Modern Desert boots are based on Jungle Boots, even having the Panama sole but removing the leather and drainage holes on the instep.

Wellco used to be good, no idea now. The boots are made in china but appear to have slightly better quality control than brands like Rothco, I cant justify the price they sell Wellco boots for however. You may as well go buy the real deal. Unfortunately the price of boots is going up because they are getting harder to find.
