Well why not, sorry for the blog: I'm new to the city and got out with some new recent met people, then I proceeded to take a cab back to my apartment and when guiding the guy who didn't have any idea where the fuck he was (literally had to explain him how to go back) I also made a mistake and had to walk 5 blocks, then a guy in a hoodie appeared from a park, I crossed and he did too and then it was obvious, the guy stood a couple meters from me and told me to drop everything I had to the ground or else he'll shoot me, of course I almost threw a number 2 instead but I did, then he said "shoes too" and well fuck it, better naked than dead and that's about it, reported and still nothing

i'm looking to buy some winter boots -- preferably all black. something that can stand up to canadian/northern us weather. anyone have any recommendations? thanks in advance.

My only boots are CDB's and I hate the shape of them. Want to get something else but I'm still poor, so trying to find a boot under $150.

Wrestling with the following decisions: color(black vs brown), brand(so far considering Docs, golden fox, chippewa, palladium), and style/build.

What combo would work best? I was leaning towards Docs, but they(and chippewa too looks like) get a lot of shit over here. Also I usually dress more like a folk-rock singer than the punk type people usually lend to Docs.
But then again, the CDB's are still in good shape, so I guess I'd be in greater need of black boots than another brown.

Not sure which direction to take, any advice much appreciated

>>12710140
>folk rock singer
Probably Chippewas

>>12710041
You gotta include your budget dude

>>12709964

how long does it take to break in leather boots and how much does it normally hurt

[spoiler]did I fucked up[/spoiler]

>>12710157
>>12710187
i mean, ofc dressing like a folk singer is a bit of a hyperbole, 90% of my shoes are still sneakers, I just meant to say i lean a bit more that way than a punk aesthetic.

Would chippewas still be the most versatile pick in general?

>>12710256
Docs and Chippewas are both very versatile but if you lean towards folk rock more than towards punk the Chippewas will be more versatile. I'm kinda in the same boat, I mostly wear sneakers or Wolverine boots but I bought some austrian memes for when I want to dress more punk and for serious innawoods

Best grey boots?

I can only find Shia boots (nike sfb) which look retarded.

just got some iron rangers (my first real pair of boots).
im not really liking the laces they come with and they seem to be a bit short as well. when i tie up all the speed hooks, i can barely make a bow at the end.

whats a good lace replacement for these?
specifically the boots are the 8085 model in copper.

and also, whats some recommended care products I should get for these? Should i just stick with what redwing recommends on their website?

>>12713428
thursday boots look a bit dressier, at least to me since the toe is a bit pointed.
not sure what you wear on a daily basis but if it matches that style, id say go for it.
it will definitely make you look classier than the rest of the kids your age.
unless thats something you dont want to go for.

>>12713426
They should be able to reach the top the more you wear them as the leather forms to your foot. Skip the topmost hooks until then. As for care products, I stick to what the manufacturer recommends. I also like having a welt brush.

What do my fellow anons use to take care of their austrian memes? Mine are coming in soon and I was wondering if there is anything i should get or do with them? Also any tips for breaking them in/etc?

>>12714474
Just cherry polish and kiwi parade gloss. When I first get any boots the absolute first thing I do before I even take a single step is Slav squat in order to get the toe crease sorted. Then just wear them all day every day until they're broken in

>>12714394

looking for boots like these
I really like the small reflective bits of metal (are they shoestring holders?)

>>12714495
oooooh those are nice

>>12714394
Wolverines go with a button up imo until they get dinged up a bit. I mean I still wear mine with casual button ups but they've probably just about reached the end of looking nice with a dress shirt and jeans after a couple months of light wear. I guess you could polish them if you really feel like it but the leather isn't really designed to be polished, and I think Thursday uses very similar leathers even though the silhouette is dressier. Look for calfskin if you want that polishable dress shoe look.

>>12714474
I just use conditioner. Anything beeswax based is fine, I use Oakwood. Mine needed many many coats of conditioner when I first got them. The leather is very thick and mine were almost completely dry. Don't be afraid to use too much, if you do it'll just come up to the top and you can wipe it with a rag. When you're done the surface should feel slightly waxy even after you let the conditioner sit for several minutes.

>>12709967
Thanks m80

>>12714474
I just use beeswax based leather balm

also:i'm not sure if my feet are just weird but all the third eylets seem to be pulling; if you have the same problem just lace them straight up to the fourth eyelet instead of going across. It'll be comfier to squat but may slightly impair any waterproofing

>>12714690
Waterproofing should be fine, the tongues are gusseted. Funny that you're having that issue though, the tongues are so wide I imagine they'd be comfy even if you have insanely high/oddly shaped arches (mine are only a little high and wide)

You won't find anything cheaper than Thursdays and you won't find anything good from an actual shoemaker for under $300. Loake is probably the best bet for brogue boots. Churchs, Trickers, C&J will be more $$$ and are rarely on sale.

Just threw out my chelsea's, wore them to the ground. What's a solid go to I should pick up to replace them?

sanders is better and usually cheaper than loake 1880 imo

could you link to or briefly detail an idiot's guide to boot upkeep? ordered some paramemes as the first non-synthetic boot I've ever had, and I'd like to keep them in good condition. most things I see online are catered towards women with low-quality bonded shit, the """work"""wear heritage crowd who all have brown boots, or the soak-em-in-the-toilet-with-hand-soap type, and most things they say conflict besides conditioning and some form of water-damage-prevention

I'm looking for a boot that can meet the following criteria:

> Black leather w/ Black Sole
> Dainite, Commando, or Rubber Sole
> Cap Toe w/ Speed Hooks
> Can be worn with a suit in a pinch
> No Steel Shank/TSA-Friendly
> Cordovan Leather if possible (Not as important as the other criteria)

I'm normally an Alden fan, but I'm tired of taking off my boots every time I go through security checkpoints.

So far, I'm looking at:
> Crockett & Jones Northcote (Picture Attached)
> End. x Tricker's Toe Cap Boot (Out of stock & Pebble Grain Leather)
> Allen Edmonds Sullivan Street (Two-Toned design is strange)
> Loake Hyde Boot (No Speed Hooks & May or May not have a Steel Shank)

Am I missing any other obvious options?

yeah I saw that but he keeps saying throughout that this is bare bones stuff and further research should be done, and he doesn't mention conditioning, which I think is important . I got a pair of gr1 boots without damage or dirtiness anyway, so I just want to check if something besides waxing and polishing would be worthwhile (I have basically no conception of where the snake oil line of overcomplication is)

>>12715463
Step 3 is conditioning. Anything beyond wax/conditioner and polish (for routine care at least) is snake oil imo but I say that because I'm happy with simply wax and polish (or lotion and polish for calfskin dress shoes).

>>12715281
Carmina's Jumper Boots might work. I'm not sure if they have a steel shank or not though.

>>12715281
>>12715828
Carlos Santos also has some pretty dressy boots. Again, I'm not sure if they have a steel shank or not. I'd guess that the Carlos Santos boots will set off metal detectors, but it might be worth contacting their customer support.

So I have a pair of steel toe Solovairs that have been perfectly comfortable for about a whole year but suddenly when i put them on yesterday the left one started killing my Achilles tendon. It's not a rubbing or abrasive feeling but more of a bruising feeling, like the boot is bending inward and pressing against the tendon. I don't understand what the fuck happened as I take good care of the boots, and the right boot seems to bend inward at the ankle in the same way yet causes no pain. Any solutions for this or similar problems any of you may have had? It can't be a matter of breaking them in because I've been wearing them regularly for almost a year.

Opinions on black Timberlands?

How to wear pants with boots? Should I tuck my pants into my boots, cuff them or just let them cover the boots? I feel like tucking in pants looks the best but it's also associated with a sort of military look (which I like) and some people think it looks nazi-ish. I get some weird looks like I'm a skinhead sometimes.

>>12724336

i love mine. a bit heavy, but comfy af. can stand or walk in them all day without pain. very versatile.

make sure to get the classic 6" boot, though, and not one of their cheaper look-alike models. it's worth it. the quality is better.

yeah the point is that tall boots make your legs look stumpy and thus, make you look shorter

What's a quick way to remove scuff/scratches off boots? I started wearing my iron ranger to work and I usually leave with some small scratches.

I don't want to over oil my boots, if that's a thing.

just buff with a fine cloth

it's true that you can over-condition leather
it's not the end of the world but you might end up with uneven coloring and a saturated oily feeling so definitely avoid overdoing it

This is dumb. It's about proportions. If you have proportionally long legs, you can afford to cut them down a bit with tall boots. Hell, you can even get away with purposely shortening your torso.

But, I know that's not what we're really talking about. What we're really talking about is "why the hell would I ever want to make myself look any shorter"? The answer to that one is "you're a faggot if you care that much". There's some short ass Asian guys I've seen killing shit that people would tell them not to wear and it's only possible because they aren't self conscious about it.

All that being said, it's just boots. It's not platform shoes, or Chelsea's with big ass Cuban heels or anything, so it's pretty safe regardless.

>>12725393

You don't have to remove your shoes if you're signed up for TSA PreCheck, unless they set off the metal detector. You can also leave your laptop in the carry-on, unlike normal TSA lines. It's worth looking into if you travel often.

Corcoran jumps don't have a modern sole. Be better off comparing them to Corcoran plain toe work boots. The deal is it's surplus. A really well made boot that's done a lot of hard living. Already come with scratches, some lose threads and wear on the soles. Surplus is a crapshoot. Out of 3 pairs of Austrian memes I haven't gotten any that have been in excellent condition or anything. I would call em beater boots but the only purpose boots serve is to be beat on.

Think about your long-term shoe/boot collection. I think you’d be better off with a casual brown brogue boot and a dressier black cap toe boot. It’s ultimately up to your style preferences.

Shitty, cheap boots. But they serve their purpose, if you want cheap boots to stomp and romp around in then go for it. Idk, there's so much chinkshit floating around labeled as "Made in England" so beware for shit products.

Don't get me wrong tho, rangers make me hard af.

So they're shitty but they last or what do you mean? I trust these boots I'm buying, they're from a local military store.

They'll last if you follow the routine that makes boots last

>let them dry after a day of wear
>if you wear them in shitty weather, LET THEM DRY FFS
>wipe off dust and dirt after every wear with a damp cloth (not wet, damp, use an old t-shirt or a towel for this)
>rotate a few pairs of shoes with them, don't wear your boots everyday (see point one)
>polish every 1-2 weeks, use mink oil and/or saddle-grease
>swap the insoles for comfier ones, your feet will thank you later

Nothing lasts forever, but I think you'll get a decent amount of wear from these, granted that they don't start cracking or splitting from the leather or anything.
