pascal doc martens
Victor doc martens.
I really like them, got them 6 months ago. It's the thai prod but they've proven themselves resistant to creasing, they're not falling apart, no sewing problems - near new condition actually, even though I wore them very often. All black, and ofc good sole. Very comfortable on top of that.
>>10453252
Please post some pics.
There are so few online, and I'm considering buying a pair.

Theyre for keeping my feet warm and dry for winter, not just looks
I finally found the perfect boot for what I'm looking for. (Going to wear it fully laced unlike pic related)
>go to order it
>no shipping to Canada
Are there any methods Canadian /fa/ggots know that can help me out?
>>10456918
i know that feel, being effay is hard when the things you want are either ridiculously expensive to ship or dont ship at all to you
if you live near the border you could ship it to the us and drive down
if you know anyone in the us willing to do it (or you dont mind paying extra for a site to do it) you could try proxy shipping, it could get costly tho
but honestly you could try going to a few malls; it's fall so palladiums (and a lot of other boots) are really common in most shoe and clothing stores. i bought a pair of palladiums just yesterday from kixs in calgary
Is wingtip boots /fa/?
Can it go with both officepants and cargopants?
Am I a fag if I wear boots when we dont even have winter season here?

Am I the only one that thinks linguine laces look bad on boots and dress shoes? Like their too "sneakerish" and way to casual looking?
I just can't find myself appreciating a boot with those laces.
>>10458320
price is right, but are they any good?
Are there any acceptable Chelseas, that can be recommended for under $100?
thinking about either getting these or the leather black palladiums
What is the quality like on Palladium boots? Are they worth getting?
>>10462147
>Are they worth getting?
No
Has anyone bought these? If so, are they a good buy?
Are these clearly women's boots or could a guy wear them without getting stares?
thoughts on these? how to size them?
Any Clarks Desert Mali bros in here? Just bought a pair about two weeks ago and I just noticed this today. Is this normal or is it going to turn into a bigger problem, if it's a fuck up I'll return them or swap them for another pair. I don't want to pay 150 for junk.
>>10456962
I've been looking all around. It's so frustrating finding out I can't have them just as I was ready to buy them.
Any Canuck-bros that have tips to save me?
Beckmans vs Iron Rangers? I'm getting a pair for cheap this weekend.
>>10456810
What's this shit about them being discontinued. They're on the Clarks website, on Amazon and on kith
>>10463074
are you using shoe trees? Looks like some pretty serious wrinkling for two weeks wear.
>>10463350
nah no shoe trees, I wear them all day and haven't treated them yet with any oils or anything, I don't mind the wrinkling since it gives them character but I'm more concerned about the soles getting fucked up and having a hole in the side of the boot or something
>>10462168
I bought these >>10462147 not a week ago and so far they're pretty okay. Comfy and the quality is fine. Im not a canvas guy but i really like the look on those.
>>10456810
I saw a pair resoled on grailed, with a more traditional combat boot sole. It looked fucking amazing. Unfortunately I didn't save.
>>10457704
Engineer boots are a bit shorter and slightly less SS, not that you would want that.
>>10454392
look nice to me
>>10459480
Beater boots generally, considered the Beckmans bu it doesn't really snow all that much where I'm from
>>10463074
If water comes through I'd return them as defects.
>>10453375
nah i have em and youll slip all over the place in sleet. they look great if you weather proof em as theyll get darker and the brown gets more rich. theyre a good looking boot but the soles just not good in winter conditions
>>10453252
second this, these boots are beaut and i got mine for around £60, even at full price they are worth it
>>10461878
I need a good casual boot in grey, any suggestions?
Should I just say fuck grey and go with the blueish that seems pretty popular? (like this: >>10458470
)
>>10463074
I've had mine for like three years. They started to split like that but haven't gotten much worse. I don't wear them all the time but I love them fam
>>10453218
holy shit man. I'm gonna assume your not trolling at let you know that literally nothing about this outfit works at all. Sweatpants and black boots? and a jean jacket? Come on man.
>>10461820
most boots give you an extra inch or two, why is that so funny?
Thinking of copping a pair of Mali's as sort of a "going out" type of shoe, IE when you are going out somewhere and don't want to wear sneakers but aren't dressed formally enough.
Not that I would wear them only for this, but should I cop a pair? Feeling beeswax malis, and then maybe black suede CDB's later down the line.

I find these really ugly, but I guess nobody else has a problem with them so maybe I'm weird.
>>10457924
They're meme boots in the sense that they've been well regarded boots for decades. That's like saying a Rolex is a meme watch.
>>10456356
Don't see why not, Doc Martens are great boots. I got em in this colour and I think they're much nicer than the black ones, but whatever floats your boat.
>all these pleb ankle boots
>>10464130
I'm looking for same type of boot, and really like that style. Checked em out on amazon but no grey, which is what I really need.

>>10464277
As somebody who does a lot of returns due to sizing, only you can decide if it is worth doing an exchange. Is your life going to fall apart if you don't have these immediately? Or can you wait to try for a better pair.
>>10463330
Went to a Clarks store, asked for Mali's, they said they were web exclusive but they will order them for me. Asked for black but they could only fine Beeswax and whatever other brown colour it is, went to the back and came back later telling me they had no black left and didn't know when they were going to be restocked. Read somewhere online later that clarks is clarks is discontinuing black leather on all of their shoes or just a number of them, can't recall. Thats why you can only find them on places like Amazon, which is where I got my pair.
>>10463413
Damn I'd really like to see that.
Had these for a month or so now, they run narrow but a bit long so half a size down was right for me.
Due to the thickness of the leather on the left boot's heel area I experienced a lot of pain breaking them in, but I doubt that will be a problem for the soft leather version.
They did break in after about 2 weeks of wearing them and feel very comfy now.
>>10464341

Thoughts on Blundstone boots? Looking to get the best pair of Chelsea boots I can for under 200$.
>>10464414
blundstone chelseas are not sleek nor good looking. Just buy slp or jack erwin
>>10464447
Yeah I definitely appreciate the advice, but those are a bit outside my price range atm.
>>10464464
Meermin has a nice pair of chelseas that replicate slps design quite good, buy they are only MTO group order, so it's only on sale for a couple of weeks. Right now they're funding a brown chelsea, which is a bit pricier but it's good-year welted and that is quite a step up quality wise. Buxley is another good alternative with a sleek silhouette, but since i'm guessing you're in the US i can't recommend buying from there since Buxley is based in France and if you get the wrong size it's gonna be a nightmare with shipping.
Jack Erwin also has a nice pair of Chelseas that also are a bit pricier but with a lot better quality.
>>10464447
This. I like my blundstones for winter n shit, but they aren't a sleek looking boot.
>>10464181
Alright copped the malis. Last year they were always out of stock so I don't wanna make the same mistake this year.
love this design and colour, but the sole is too thick.

>>10464681
If they are the same as the ones on Grenson shoes they'll wear pretty quickly so you'll not want one too thin or you'll be getting them resoled in 6 months.

Been wanting to pick up these Horween Danners after my friend accidentally caught my last pair on fire while we were camping this summer. I have Visvim Serras for the look, but I don't like to actually take em out on trails. These Danners look like they could take the abuse.
I'm not really very /fa/ and I just lurk a lot but I work as a conductor on the railroad and I started wearing Danner boots about 5 years ago.
They're expensive but when it comes to protection from snow and rain and walking for miles on ballast rocks, nothing else has come close. I like the look but I don't know if you guys would necessarily love them.
The pair I wear are called Quarry's ($260) but they've been doing a big push to do more fashionable stuff that's still very functional and warm. I've been walking for 5+ miles a day on shit surfaces for 12 hours a day and the sole is just starting to get clapped out.
Don't know if that's what you're interested on but that's my input.
>>10458320

On offdays (usually one per week, sometimes none) yeah but nothing other than that. We get random breathe, piss and hair tests a couple times a month as the industry is federally regulated.

Opinions on these?
any good fashionable boots that won't get fucked up by rain, is good for tough yard work while looking a little formal at the same time?
Please tell me someone makes a cheaper alternative to the Danner Mountain Pass
>>10463992

>>10457017

>>10457658
Everytime I wore Canvas shoes/boots they would always break while traveling, not too mention you won't enjoy rainy days.
>>10462147
Palladium is the hood's "Uggs". I'm not even joking every one in the projects got either these or Tims, difference is Tim's have better quality and aren't so whimsy,
>>10464681
lol you want a more thicker crepe (idk how to spell i tire) sole because those shits run. Resoling without a proper clobber(ing time) is a bitch.

>>10466156
Oak Street Bootmakers Dainite Trench Boots
Common Projects make a black."combat" boot. High quality leather and simplistic look. If you don't mind the price tag, they are the best shoe you can get.
They're also incredibly comfortable although my feet sweat a ton in them.
Does anyone know of any sidezip boots that have a tall and skinny shaft? My ankles are crazy small and I want to be able to wear cropped pants with them without them getting stuck above the top part.
I copped a pair of doc martin tobias boots the other day, still waiting for them to get here. I've never had docs before so anything I should know in terms of breaking them in or anything?

>>10466455
I personally detest boots with a wedge sole, even more so if the outsole is white, but thats just me.
>>10466481
Yeah kind of what ruins them for me too.
Thoughts on Timbs Euro Hikers and Danner Jags?
>>10466481
have you worn wedge soles, dude
i just bought a pair of moc toe boots and they are without a doubt the comfiest fucking shoes I've ever worn >>10466109
nonetheless I already reached out to a company in NY that will resole them cuz they're atrociously ugly
better right?
>>10466485
I think the Danners look better, but the timberlands score some extra points for coming in leather. I have mixed feelings about suede boots in a non-chukka style.
>>10466497
No doubt theyre comfy. I tried on a pair once and it was ridiculous, I just can't really pull off that look. Are you going with a leather outsole like the one pictured? I think moc toes look pretty damn good with a "regular" heel/forefoot sole like that

New to /fa/ so pls be gentle.
I really like these Cole Haan chukkas I have. They're comfortably dressed up or dressed down.
I'd like to get something similar in a light suede. Clarks desert boots my best choice? I've heard they fall apart.
Thoughts?
>>10466549
I've had a pair of J&M's for about 4 years now and apart from some creasing they are still in fantastic shape, but I can't really comment on their newer shoes. How light of a suede are you thinking?
>>10466537
it's a rubber outsole dude; Dainite makes a sepia brown one for, well, brown shoes. I've never seen them in person since only Allen Edmonds (to my knowledge) uses them regularly
this isn't exactly related, but I'm posting it to give the general idea of how the shoe will look with a new sole. I think it'll be a good change
I was thinking about getting a pair of these. But don't know if I should get them in gray black or brown. What do you guys think?
>>10466571
Ideally something like a sand color suede or maybe a very light grey.
I did look at the Clarks desert boots and the suede I liked was the Taupe Suede, but I'm apprehensive since I've heard those shoes literally fall apart with normal use. Would pay more for quality.
>>10466537
>have mixed feelings about suede boots in a non-chukka style.
Danner does a boot like this but it's not made in USA or recraftable (fucking shame cuz it's a niiiice boot) and you can get black suede mountain lights from Danner Japan (shame they aren't sold in America)
here's the real deal though: moncler peak boots
oh and OSB makes a beautiful indigo-dyed suede 8 eyelet boot but it's extremely hard to find
>>10466584
>Dainite
fug, I was just looking at Allen edmonds recently and thought that looked familiar, must have slipped my mind. I think they'll look pretty solid with an outsole like that. Definitely more versatile.
>>10466591
If Johnston and Murphy's quality is still where it was 4 years and you like crepe soles then I'd say go with those. I'm not really familiar enough with other brands of chukkas though.
>>10466606
Damn, I may have been missing out on my boot game these past few years. Those oak streets look great. I'd love to own a pair of OSB's but i have basketball feet
>>10466584
Dainite can sometimes be slippery when wet on super smooth surfaces.
I have dainite on a pair of wingtips.
>>10466707
noticed that too; but vibram soles are too heavy so it's worth the tradeoff
>>10458430
wingtip is gross, i'd try to find something with a similar silhouette in a plain cap toe
Allen Edmonds Normandy boots
I like the look, and I'm just wondering how well they'd hold up to ice and grit.
>>10466342
they say greasy lamper. isnt that a kind of leather? Correct me if im wrong.
>>10467356
I've read online that the Kudu leather scuffs easily, and the forefoot sole can get slippy on wet surfaces
Is doc martens 8 eye worth my money?
The base looks too thick.
Will probably wear it with my cargo pants since we can't wear denim to uni class.

What.
I want a rugged, traditional looking, leather outdoor boot. Like Red Wings just without a wedge sole, and for less than $200. Timbs Earthkeepers look alright but I don't know if I like all the stitching.
