thoughts on these? thinking of copping.
winter boot general.
>>10690071
here is the link to them with more pictures.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V9S1M40/ref=twister_B004K6TOZW
they are the new black leather.
have any of you owned these, how is the quality? what're your opinions?
thinking about getting these too
how long does it take to break them in and make them not shiny and plasticey ??
>>10690071
They're a solid boot for the price but the crepe sole doesn't have the best traction for snow or anything heavoer than a light shower.
>>10690082
i live in new england so winter will be pretty rough
can you compare how much traction they offer to a doc? just bc i had docs last winter &i wanna get an diea how the clarks would be
What brand/model are these boots???
>>10690071
i have them they are 9/10 for a $99 boot. they would be 10/10 with a different sole. they did better in the winter than i expected. I'm in MN.
>>10690095
It honestly won't be much of a problem if you watch where you walk but on the plus side you could actually resole the malis.
>>10690123
>>10690112
Thanks senpai, gonna order today. How is the sizing?
anyone know a cheap place to cop the malis in the uk? Seem to be £110 everywhere
>>10690075
took me about 3 weeks
>>10690134
Cant even find them in black in the UK
>>10690071
Magnum owner reporting in
Best winter boots ever
>>10690267
look cyberpunk, not rly my style but look super warm
I'm not wearing my Desert Malis this year on wet/snowy/frozen conditions, too many close calls and instances of having to look like a retard tip toeing around last year.
Still nice budget boots though.
>>10690345
these are military grade boots. they were built to resist at actually anything. i also like them so i wear them daily
Are any of Teva's boots good for winter? I noticed they have a decent amount of wax canvas ones on their site but the ones advertised for being waterproof are a couple hundred dollars.
Does anyone know where to find similar Boots?
These are sold out.
>>10690360
what's your overall style like to go with those? these seem hard to work into fits, has a clunky silhouette
it's cool they're that durable tho
>>10690381
I like alternative /fa/ styles and this is a typical outfit of mine. Appears also that I, unconsciously, wear trendy things among the "alternative" culture. And I'm Italian, I guess it is in my genes to already know what to wear and how.
(I do forgot bracelets and rings in accessories section)
>>10690395
nice, everything goes together imo. seems a p cool style. i wouldnt dress like that but just bc preference
>>10690401
Thank you! What is your dress code? What do you like to wear?
>>10690410
Wow! People talking about style/fashion on a fashion forum
>>10690410
underrated post xdxddxdx
>gaylord
>>10690074
I bought mine in October, love them alot, the quality and fit is great, though the sizing is slightly bigger than usual. Having been in the military I'm very diligent with my shoe polish, they have been water resistant so far. They are okay for winter in cities/slightly warmer climate where you wont have to walk in snow. The crepe sole is nice looking but the grip is pretty bad in rain/slush. I'll see if i can take a photo with my webcam of the shoes (lmao) in a sec
>>10690465
>>10690483
>>10690465
Uuuuh those look so good. Thanks for the info. I want 2cop but live in mass so don't know if they'll be good enough for the winter after reading reviews
>>10690500
yw, were I to move through snow (I live in Stockholm) I'd look for something slightly more solid/insolated, though these boots are just fine for late fall/early spring weather
My docs are comfy. I have a massaging insole in them, 10/10 boot
>>10690519
>>10690239
How are docs in the winter? Hold up well? Would they be better than the malis?
>>10690267
Those look pretty sick mate. I can see Section 9 wearing them.
>>10690539
Pretty good traction, especially the lug sole boots. I heard from a friend in Minnesota that the rubber can become stiff and crack in extremely cold climates though, like -20. I wear my 1460s in the snow here in NorCal and I've always been fine.
>>10690112
Where are you getting $99? They are around $150.
>>10690071
trash shoes for canadian winters desu.
Y'all don't know winter.
>>10690071
Awful for winter unless you live close to the equator.
>>10690380
wat are these, W2C
>>10690685
I Love Ugly Edmund Boots.
Can't find them anywhere..
>>10690408
No dress code, in uni. I like to wear boots with skinnies. Sweaters usually solid color, turtle necks. Sweaters with nice designs but nothing too much. Some nice flannels, long cardigans.
Just copped these babies, best leather I've ever had. They feel like half a size too big but with thick socks and a leather sole they feel just right.
>>10690728
might make sense, except for the turtlenecks. I can't imagine them with boots.
Oh wait. My ideas of boots are like Magnum's or other tacticool operative boots. If your concept of boots is like Dr. Martens' then it totally makes sense, but definitively not of my tastes.
>>10690782
Congratulations brother, looking good
>>10690395
>Appears also that I, unconsciously, wear trendy things among the "alternative" culture. And I'm Italian, I guess it is in my genes to already know what to wear and how.
>>10691202
you underestimate my euphoria, mlady
>>10690395
i want the nexus 6p so bad
>>10691235
too big imo
Bump of coke
>>10690112
>>10690610
I'd like to know as well.
Just got these on ebay for 70 buck. 1970ish made in the USA, but almost brand new. Pic is similar to how they look...
DNC expecting something you will want to wear in snow. Winter general? fuck it, just wear thick socks as you should with all boots in the winter
>>10690483
You were in the Navy right? I just can't imagine why you would polish these.
>>10692918
solid cop
I've got pic related which don't look as nice as yours but they are solid for winter
>>10693130
the thick tread and height of these make them jungle boots. Created for jungle environments but they work for really everything with at the same time looking effay as fuck. love them, solid cop.
Copped these about a month ago
are red wings cool?
>>10692918
w2c?
Thoughts on these for 200?
Recently got 6in waterproof classics timberlands in the black nubuck color. Really enjoy them so far.
>>10693495
nothing wrong with them at all, personally dont like those moc-toes though
>>10693495
NOOOOOOo00oo0o0o0OOooooo
>>10693812
look good, what are they?
>>10690071
What's the fit like compared to stan smiths? What size is appropriate?
>>10690071
Windsor smiths. Thoughts?
>>10694314
That is a fucking massive heel man
>>10694329
I'm a girl though so society thinks its ok I think
>>10694329
>man
>has the hand of a woman
>>10694350
Aaaah ok makes more sense. They're cool then
>>10694356
I only looked at shoe
>>10694350
The finger nails were probably the give away haha
just copped these; thoughts?
>>10694359
Nice guys thanks I've always wanted to be cool
>>10694314
Honestly...I would go with less of a heel, even if grill. But it depends on outfit, and I'm going to trust your general taste (despite French tips)
>>10694376
you've only got one shot, so make it count
Sorry for WOAT quality,
should I keep or return?
>>10694329
>man
kek
>>10694314
how big is the heel and how tall are you?
basic but pretty good silhouette
>>10694391
>I'm going to trust your general taste (despite French tips)
oooooooooooh shit
>>10694498
return, they make your legs look fat, probably because they are but these just emphasize it.
>>10690687
>>10690685
>>10694064
are there similar boots out there? im getting tired of my timbs
>>10694498
>>10694502
Heyyy, that's pretty good.
>>10694556 ur basic. 1.5" platform 2.5" heel I'm 5'2!
>>10694559
This is dumb though because that's just how nails grow. They're naked.
>>10690075
Copping
>>10692918
Nice cop
Doc Martens Hadley's, pricey but I've had them for a good while now.
Just picked up some chippewa Apaches, anyone have experience with them in winter?
>>10694064
president boot by thursday boot company.
>>10693812
what kind of traction are fucking circles going to provide
>>10695038
Pics of you wearing them?
I know that duck boots are mfa played out tier but I like this color.
>>10695390
They're fine for the price. Leather got BEAT cos I didn't know any better about rotating my footwear.
got these
might've ordered them too small - walked a half mile and got blisters in my heels
here's to hoping they break in to more tolerable levels of comfort
>>10697330
I don't understand how anyone can think that duck boots don't look awful
>>10697330
>wear duck boots
>wear waxed cotton jacket based on barbour bedale
>bitch about why most Americans don't want to enact oppressive gun control measures
irony much?
if you want to adopt a culture, adopt a liberal one. go wear hemp clothesand spange like a bunch of free loaders on welfare
>>10697434
huh, I never had that working/hunting man look pegged down as conservative. The conservatives here either dress mega basic (north face jacket, straight cut jeans, etc.) or they go for some semblance of prep.
>>10697330
As long as you buy it as a functional boot and not a fashion one. I use mine strictly for snowy days, but I would never incorporate it into a fit and legitimately thing it looked good.
>>10697419
>I don't understand how anyone can think that duck boots don't look awful
Have you taken a good hard look at the shoes you bought m8?
Not duckboot levels of bad but yeesh
>>10697449
Mind telling me why you don't like them? honestly curious fuccboi here who wants to improve
>>10697501
They really only work with #menswear fits
Every other outfit they are going to throw off
>>10697510
I've been told that I look 25+ when I'm 21, so that's actually my end game.
Thus far they seem to work fine with black skinny jeans and neutral-colored trousers, though the look is pretty edgy.
Got any advice for making them work?
>>10694498
>>10694502
Mil-Tec jungle boots? Just copped a pair.
>>10694502
are these rothcos?
>>10690395
Not trendy but very cohesive and nice
>>10697330
ugly
id only wear this if i was sledding or something
>>10697514
Not him, but grey and navy flannel trousers would work well with those boots.
>>10690782
Brand? Those are gorgeous, dude.
>>10697519
Yes mil-tec desert boots
Are suede chelsea boots effay?
inspo 1/2
>>10698219

I like 'em but curious what you guys think. Also, what winter coat/jacket to go with it?

>tfw can't fit them in to chealse's

>>10698219
>>10698221
If you're gay sure.
>>10698227
Nah I'm straight
>>10697330
I like them, Sorel seems like a solid brand
>>10698221
>>10698219
only really like leather chelseas myself. with a slim silhouette
>>10697510
Faggot who's kinda shit at fashion here, what do you mean by #menswear? Like the Americana type thing that's been going on?
>>10697342
I guess I don't know any better either. What do you mean rotating?
>>10690395
are you a nigger or a metalhead?
Is it possible to distress some shitty combat boots to make them look like a1923 boots?
I already ordered these, they're being shipped.
>>10690267
I wear the composite toe version of these when I'm at the fire house. They're good for labor, but they're not too comfortable and they don't keep me very warm.
I'm thinking about getting either these

>>10699156
what's the genuine appeal of boots like these?
I think they look like dadcore standard issue from 2006
>>10699156
Congrats, you just wasted over $300 on a pair of /r/mfa meme boots
>>10699180
>unironically believing buying a pair of boots could ever be falling for a meme
>>10699156
Got em too, excellent choice due to the sole. They'll last practicality 5ever.
Fuck the haters, these are god tier.
>>10699234
go back to reddit you kek
>>10699156
those are disgusting lmao
>>10699180
>>10699199
>>10699203
Better than your "designer" ladyboots/all black gothcore boots.
>>10699475
lol at this butthurt reddit faggot
>>10699485
Butthurt about what? I can return them if I don't like how they feel. It's just funny watching hipsters like you think a choice in fashion is bad because "hurr hurr le meme xD" and too many other people do it.
>>10697419
W2C?! I thought they sold out?
>>10699510
you bought meme boots that look like shit gtfo here and go back to reddit
>>10699475
i asked what about them were appealing to you and you attack my apparent "designer" taste
confirmed u have no idea what you're doing, stop posting
>>10694502
wtc this pair?
>>10696957
absolutely nothing. danite is the worse sole for traction and wet weather/tile floors. they are meant for rough roads and rugged pathways it takes a long time for it to wear down because it's a really hard material. but it's absolutely useless otherwise
>>10698221
looks perfect to me. also looking gay is fine. all the real qts dig that shit, as long as it's not flaming gay
>>10699530
Checked the site and it looks like they're sold out now, sorry.
I'm sure Meermin will have them back in stock soon.
>>10698386
I think it's essentially the businessman/professional look. Think suits and all associated things, and celebrities like Daniel Craig. Pretty mainstream stuff.
>>10699530
Heck, if you email then, you might get an idea of when they'll be back.
>>10699199
I think they look like high quality boots made out of high quality leather in Minnesota
>>10699156
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>10690539
It's my first winter with these so I don't know yet. I had one snowfall and I didn't slip or anything. I wear a pair of wool socks and my feet are never cold. I recommend using the balm they offer. It softens the leather. Breaking these fuckers in took 1-2 months and it hurt like a bitch
>>10700219
thank you for the explanation. i assumed it was regular rubber
>>10693734
>>10692918
They don't make them anymore as far as I know. They're US Navy cold wet weather boots.
>>10693734
>>10692918
>>10701533
You can easily find them. Its like everywhere on ebay, you find them even if you aren't actually looking.
Check:
"genesco"
"addison"
"cove shoe"
"army boots"
"vintage boots"
"jump boots"
"military boots"
"corcoran"
Here a pic of mines after a little polish (not too much because fuck mirror shoes)
Im pretty close to getting these but Im confused and conflicted because some of the reviewers mentioned that they prefer to order them down a half size. Im really hesitant to do that because when I wear footwear at any smaller size I look down and notice that my foot exceeds the sole slightly on the inner sides. Should I just buy these in my regular size or do these people know what theyre talking about?
>>10692918
ayy genescos? i have a much worse condition pair i got for $5 at a thrift store
>>10699180

>>10701593
>>10701785
Yeah the one's I got are called Addison's, should hopefully be getting them tomorrow.
Good substitute for black Timbs? I simply don't want to pay as much as they charge.
>>10690782
damn, nice boots
>>10694374
well done
>>10697419
how´s the finish on them? I haven´t seen a Meermin irl.
are black timbs acceptable?
>>10701877
timbs are all over ebay/grailed etc and look a lot better than those
>>10702082
Only if you've got the melanin to match
>>10701765
I just got these. Leather is the thickest I've worn so far and that's coming from Chippewa. It should be 0.5 to 1.0 size large so size down. For width, the shoes run narrow. It's different for people because of arch length so I can't give you the exact sizing. Best boots you can get right now.
Should I cop those? Really considering it..
>>10702082
No, almost as bad as redwings
Looking to cop something dirt cheap for the time being. Would these last me around a year or would it just be better to splurge/save?

Sup /fa/, I don't com here much but was thinking of buying these boots http://www.dsw.com/shoe/pajar+iceberg+snow+boot?prodId=310568
A friend of mine has similar ones from the company and really likes them and says they're comfy and warm. My feet always get cold as fuck and like sweat then get colder and it sucks. I just want a pair of boots that will let me walks through even a cold wet slushy parking lot and go sit in class and have my feet be warm and comfy instead of fucking freezing. Are these good for that? Is there a way cheaper alternative? Or more expensive better built one? Thanks for any help
>>10702873
I'm no expert but since this board is pretty dead I'll give you my two cents, they look like they'd serve the purpose pretty well
Good? I just had them lying around.
>>10690071
>e
Thoughts on these?
>>10702204
I think they look very interesting. You should do it as long as they are durable. I can tell just looking at them they're expensive. You don't want it to be all show and no function for however much it costs.
>>10702968
they be cool mayn
where can i cop something like this?
are these /fa/?
>>10703103
They sort of look like more futuristic palladiums
cop or not? $190 I'm looking for something that I can wear in the winter and autumn with wool socks and also potentially during the summer and spring sockless/cotton socks
>>10701892
Not glossy as the web store pictures, but I'm sure you could change that with some polish
oh fuck I have no idea how to care for these things
How would you guys suggest I lace them? Straight bar? Crisscross?
>>10703272
hmm camera made them out to be shinier than they really are
What do you all think of these for more casual?
>>10703326
I think they look fucking awful.
>>10703326
I'd wear 'em
>>10703056
Not feeling the detailing. Maybe they'd work on techier-looking fits? Even if so, I don't think they'd be very versatile at all.
>>10702873
I'm sure those will work fine, but there definitely are better alternatives. If you live in the U.S., check out Danner and LL Bean. Danner's higher end is in the next price range, but LL Bean's mainline boots are just barely more expensive than what you posted, and are considered to be among the best at their price point.
Also, consider getting special socks/liners for your feet. A good wool sock or liner will wick moisture away, preventing the sweating -> freezing from happening. I mean, wearing thick wool socks with boots is the normal thing to do.
>>10690395
w2c those jeans senpai?
>>10694314

I'm a boots pleb. how do I take care of my boots?
wax? oil?
>>10705192
keep them dry/let them dry out in between wearing them again. Good guideline is to have ~24 hours in between wears, and to rotate them
consider getting shoe trees to improve on that
use a brush and possibly a lightly damp cloth to get dirt off whenever you feel like it
condition the leather with a leather conditioner of your choice every once in a while (depends on how rigorous your wears are). Conditioning is as simple as removing the laces and moisturizing the leather like you could your face with lotion.
I'm new to this boot care thing, but I wanna say I'm pretty fond of AE's conditioner/cleaner. I like the smell, and it seems to do its job great. Just be warned that some people have complaints with it possibly darkening the colors of their shoes.
should i go with these or the black ones?
>>10702968

Are chelsea's supposed to fit kinda big?
I bought some in my size, they came in and they are pretty loose around my ankles.
>>10705605
Yea thats what i was thinking, you have any experience with them?
>>10690071
I have a pair, as others have already said the traction with the sole isn't that good. Otherwise it's well worth the price, good quality leather, and they don't hurt to break in
Are these timbs?
>>10690131
Tts
Bumpin boots bra
>>10690075
Just got some man. Been wearing them for about 4 days and the blisters on the back of my heel are fucking killing me right now to be honest.
Anyone recognize these? They look fucking perfect.
>>10705997
I can understand wanting to break them in asap but wearing them 4 days in a row isn't good for you or for them
>>10690075
the for life ones are thicker & softer leather. no pain
Waiting on delivery
>>10705997
What socks are you wearing with them?
>>10703326
I've been thinking of getting these exact boots lately. Just unsure of the sizing.
>>10690071
just copped from Aldo for $75. not 100% my cuppa joe but surprised by comfort.
Does Danner not make the Jack II's in any size larger than 11.5 or some shit? Was gonna get those for New Year's but they're impossible to find. I'll probably end up waiting for my birthday now and just get some Red Wing Iron Rangers or Beckmans
>>10706243
ew Aldo, have fun when they fall off your feet after a day of wearing them
I have these chippewas, they're ok
>>10693424
i like how they look, where to cop/ how much?
'82 Wellco Rosearch boots are the best $60 you will spend this winter IMO. Make sure to strip and polish and rework the leather and repolish at the cobblers
Thoughts on buying pic related and painting gold line black?

hey yall, im looking for something that similar to pic related. I found something close that's from Levi, but i cant tell the build quality.
any advise where to start looking?
Thinking about copping, the tongue looks a little gaudy though. Thoughts?
would these work as winter shoes? really not feeling any of the shoes that have been posted itt.
>>10707144
Are you being serious?
>>10707153
yes. i would only be wearing them on pavement
>>10699156
I hope you dont get put off buying these because of faggots
>>10704351
Yes and no. Does it matter? If you like them, buy them. They're nice boots thay age well.
>>10707156
No. They're sneakers. Get boots.
Cop?

No bro, I do what I want. A lot of /fa/ doesn't realize that the purpose of fashion is to express yourself. If you're too scared to try something because of what OTHER people think, then you have no business being interested in fashion.
To the haters: I respect whatever style you choose to wear. It just sounds like to me you're insecure and were bullied as a kid. You don't want to wear anything that will make you look different.
