Disgusting neckbeard shoes.
#menswear
B-but le classy high quality and construction, muh heritage!
>>9487071
i actually really like those boots. am i no longer fa
What, /fa/ggots can't afford good boots now?
>>9487145
No, red wings are okay. They're a quality made shoe with okay designs. 1/3 of the price is just overpricing though. I own a pair and its one of the most comfortable I've worn. Quality will hold up for a few years if you clean them properly and keep them oiled.
Anything else said ITT is just a meme.
I was thinking of getting some Red Wing Postmans because they seemed like one of the better options for that shoe type in that price bracket. Would you guys recommend going with something else?
>>9487154
No, just get them. Be sure to try them on in store though and don't listen to the attendant. I had to size down two sizes
the only real reddit model are iron rangers; got me a pair of 4573s that i love to death
>>9487154
nothing beats postmans at the pricepoint tbh
This is like saying Steve McQueen is a neckbeard.
Red Wings are fucking legit shoes/boots. Just because your dad wears them and he grounded you for a week doesn't make them uncool.
>>9487150
*tips iron rangers*
>>9487213
>Doesn't change the fact that they are a good shoe.
Define "good shoe". Materials and construction might be average-to-good but they're just awful looking. Plain autistic.
>Red Wings
"I'm American, I eat at Wendy's and I dwell in a trailer park".
>>9487217
The looks are subjective, the materials are durable and they are constructed well enough for the type of shoe they are. As I said before, 1/3 of the price is just markup, other than that they are a good beater.
>>9487240
The fact that you acknowledge those pieces of shit as "good shoes" is pretty much telling of what kind of tasteless, worthless and boring individual you are.
Please, leave /fa/ and get back to /b/ or /r9k/.
Disgusting resolutionfags.
ok so what would /fa/ recommend if i were to move to a horribly cold wet and slushy climate later this year?
>>9487145
the boots are ok
this just looks like clown shoes to me
>>9487255
CP combat boots, MIE Docs, Solovair just to name a few.
>>9487258
>the boots are ok
mpfpffppfahahhhahahaha
>>9487055
Jesus. If you had been on /fa/ about 2-3 years ago everybody here was violently circle jerking over red wings.
They're a good boot. Fairly well made. Like every price you can either wear it well or shit.
Just funny how /fa/ gas done a full 180 on them.
>>9487264
they are better than that shit that's for sure
>T-they're good boots, a-am I right guys?
Your buyer's remorse is showing.
You know that you've copped a shitty, boring brand and that's telling of your lack of personality.
Enjoy being assimilated into the "mfa-menswear" tier.
>>9487277
I enjoy my pair of red wings very much. Keep reaching and posting dank may mays tho
>>9487283
>I enjoy my pair of red wings very much.
Oh, I'm sure you do. :)
>>9487287
Yes, I do. The crepe sole is very comfortable. I'm really sorry that you got raped by a clown on your 7th birthday.
Is this boot autistic?

Seriously though, I don't mind that people don't like Red Wings but it's not like I've ever seen anyone in a decent alternative like Viberg or Wolverine.
Only interesting pair of actually fashion boots I've probably seen were ones in Trunks grailed. Can't remember if they were Ann D but the they a zipper that went around the back and side.
Otherwise the most expensive shoes I see are CPs and any variation of RAF shoes. Most are probably second hand.
>>9487483
>Doc Martens poorfags
DMs are at the same pricepoint as RW. Made in England ones are even more expensive.
>>9487494
No, they aren't.
I dont know much about boots cause i dont own a pair but.. whats the acceptable brand then if its not red wings? Dms and red wings are the only brands i know.
>>9487495
Yes, they are. Price means jack shit though, made in England DMs are still infinitely better quality and aesthetic-wise than those ugly fedora boots.
Boots are literally made for people who spend a lot of time walking around in forests or generally nature. Why anyone thinks these things look good while sitting on a subway is beyond me. The fuck do you need lumberjack/biker shoes for when all you do is walk around on solid surfaces that are being cleaned by the scavengery? Fucking retarded.
>>9487501
They aren't. No matter how many times you shitpost it
>>9487501
Well look who it is, OiOi and his clown shoes.
>>9487505
No one in their right mind would actually hike in fashion boots like RW, Viberg, Wolverine etc, but with something ugly but functional like pic related. RW's, Vibergs, etc are practical, durable boots that look good but they are made for urban environment.
Pls respond >>9487500
>>9487277
As opposed to what brands that infuse me with personality?
>>9487500
slp, rick owens, common projects all make nice combat boots
>>9487520
all trash
>>9487520
All of those cost about 5 times as much as Red Wings and some models don't even look as good as some RW stuff.
If you're gonna spend that much money you might as well get some Vibergs or something.
>>9487494
bitch boot
I hate a bitch-ass nigga just as much as I hate fags

Back to Reddit.

>rick owens, common projects
Is this a new meme?
really want some red irish setters
would complete my japanese cowboy look
Funny how all 4chan boards devolve into this stupid toxic community-superiority mentality and dank memes.
Ragging on a century old boot brand because our trends are so cutting edge compared to those mfa, fedora, autistic reddit trends.
The boots are a nice, basic boot. They're low-key, have great construction/QC and if styled properly are perfectly non-offensive. If you see Red Wings and literally get butthurt about it you need to get the fuck off of 4chan.
This community gets so 'contrarian-cool' it fucking hurts.
>>9487548
>nice, basic boot
Buyer's regret is all over the place here. You know deep down that you've bought a laughable, disgusting sub-par brand.
It's like walking around screaming "I don't care about fashion, I'm boring and tasteless".
>>9487557
>projecting
>>9487548
>stupid toxic
Wrong website my friend. This term is exclusively used by handicapped niggers.
>century old boot brand
What exactly does that have to do with anything? McDonalds also is a century old brand. Does that make it good? Being able to pay the bills doesnt mean that you make a good product, it simply means that you cater to the right people.
>The boots are a nice, basic boot
But not for the circumstances most people wear them in. There are boots that fit city life, and there are boots that dont. Looking like a lumberjack while sitting on the bus, living in a city with population of more than a million is so fucking out of place its unreal.
>my pussy when someone near me is wearing Red Wings
>>9487571
>implying girls actually care about fashion
You're not fooling anyone fuccboi
>>9487557
i would sooner wear a 5th hand pair of ripped and piss stained rick geo's from 2009 barefoot for the rest of my life than wear a pair of birth control boots from reddit
>>9487589
You're not the real sieg
>>9487266
/fa/ is 95% autistic teenagers that call anything they don't like autistic and mfacore
Any recommendations for rubber-soled Chelsea boots in brown? I think the soles on Martens/Solovair is too thick and looks stupid on Chelseas. Suede is OK.
>>9487569
>Wrong website my friend. This term is exclusively used by handicapped niggers.
The fuck are you on about?
>What exactly does that have to do with anything?
You're hating on it because it's a resurgent trend despite them being around for much longer than you've been aware of them.
>But not for the circumstances most people wear them in
The Red Wing Heritage line aren't even work/hiking boots. Those often have much more durable synthetic materials than something like harness leather. Also, I don't think a leather sole or christy sole are the greatest options for a lumberjack. A leather boot with a cork insole has the property of becoming more comfortable with wear as they form to your foot. They are made for casual every day wear. I don't know how you haven't made this distinction yet when all it would take is just the most basic of research.
I can agree with being annoyed by the workwear styling being co-opted by urban sissy boys, but it doesn't make me hate Red Wings or have an emotional outburst every time I'm exposed to them.
>>9487594
fucking autist

>"I don't care about fashion, I'm boring and tasteless".

I think it's just one kid ragging on them. Maybe the guy that's fucking his mom wears a pair.
>>9487520
Common Projects are actually about 2x price of Red Wings .
>>9487640
>mad because he's stuck with redwings
I've been in Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Milan, Berlin, Vienna - the most fashionable cities in Europe.
I've never, and I say never EVER seen a pair of Red Wings on a young, hip person. The only one rocking a pair was probably an Aussie or American tourist in Paris and he and his girlfriend were ugly as shit.
Why are there so many buttmad people in here?
>reddit boots
>well I like mine, they are okay
>no you don't, shut up
Great thread, /fa/. Man there are some salty teenagers in this thread.
>>9487931
not everyone wants to look like a tryhard /fa/ggot with 1000$ boots that will impress the 1% of the population that cares enough to get mad at the shoes a random person is wearing
Iron rangers are average boots for people who want to look average. They'll look much better to the average person than some totally out of place /fa/ getup.
Not too long ago iron rangers were constantly the subject of boot porn threads... I guess theyre too mainstream now for the hipster faggots here
>>9487965
Ir's with wedges look pretty dope.
>>9487055
OP, you seem to forget that Reddit dress better than /fa/.
>>9487145
they were /fa/'s before they were mfa's
don't worry about it
>>9487501
heritage line red wings cost more
are better made
docs, mie or no, are okay but not very good
junk leather
cannot be resoled, just thrown out and replace with a new, equally shitty pair
if this is not immediately apparent to you then you have never owned either brands and are probably retarded
>>9487633
gb2 mfa faggot
>>9487931
Maybe because it's an american brand? I'd bet that if you toured America you wouldn't see a lot of the brands you see here in Europe. Most people here don't even know Red Wings unless they learned about them online.
>>9488148
Not worn by hip people in Europe = not relevant in fashion.
The more you know.
>>9488159
But hip people in the main continental European cities are the most insuferable faggots on the planet, why would you want to associate with them?
>>9488169
>hip people in the main continental European cities are the most insuferable faggots on the planet
They're not different from any other person on this planet, they're just into fashion. You've probably never stepped outside your American white scum suburb so you'll never know.
Why do you wear workboots for staying indoors?
>>9488174
I'm not even american, I don't even own Red Wings, you're just a bunch of faggots that's all.
>>9487981
>too much of a bitchboi to pull off workwear
>workwear is for reddit, cool people wear af1s and a black
I can just feel the lack of a jawline or any muscular development.
lay reddit shoe :)
>g-good boot
RW's are like the most neutral and inoffensive boots imaginable apart from maybe some run of the mill desert boots. You faggots are way overthinking this.
>>9487071
women in canada actually love the lumberjack/working class look
Ah, how times have changed. In 2010 these were constantly recommended
its only fedora reddit if worn by white people

Worse quality and more expensive than RWs.
