>Don't forget that boots need time to dry properly, rotate them and rest them

How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush

>Should I buy turdsdays/soloshits/doc shitans?
No they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.

What’s the best silhouetted service boot available?

>>18113390
Just bought a pair of guidis and similar price point. I’ll put these in the queue. Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad I grew out of my cringy boot phase when I did around 2021. Last boots I bought were my Indys
They were overpriced then but with the Bidenflation they're only worse now.
$720 for a pair of Whites? Give me a fucking break. I got mine for $400 back in the day and the quality is worse now
It's just not worth it anymore

>>18113406
Brand?

>>18113401
You’ll live long enough to realize having options isn’t a bad thing

I should have gone for brown but these are ok.

i have ir and scratched the midsole and it looks like blueish whiteish paint?. i tried to clean it and brush it but no dice. any ideas to remove those things?

>>18113442
solvent required if its paint

whites after cleaning after a muddy hike

My arch length is longer than my heel to toe. When I try to buy loafers with my heel to toe length, they fit great up front but I get a ton of heel slip where it becomes unwearable. When I try on my heel to toe length, they cause too much pain at the forefoot. Wtf? How do so many people wear loafers? Do they just take the pain?

>>18113383
What’s up with the leather in OP picture? Is that loose grain?

>>18113528
>This White's collaboration utilizes a Division Road sourced Stone Rambler produced by the storied C.F. Stead, known for making some of the finest leathers in the world. The Rambler is an aniline dyed, combination re-tannage using hand-selected full-weight steer butt hides that have been air dried for a tightened shrunken grain. This tannage is finished on the roughout flesh side with a hardened wax to produce a leather that has an immense one-of-a-kind nature out of the box and is hyper-durable to handle the worst conditions while developing a rich patina.

>>18113529
>dude you don’t get it, it’s MEANT to look like shit

>>18113383
Any anons wear western style boots Some family in Mexico sent me a pair of "botines". They kind of look like chukka style boots. The leather is really great quality.

Saw these on eBay - Cheaney Jarrow (with speed hooks added from what I can tell). Glad UK shoemakers are finally starting to do more American-inspired boots; I think I'll buy a pair.

>>18113794
Not me in the picture.
This is just a reference for cop or not. I have a husky who is in better shape than that.

>>18113781
they look good i want a pair fuck there goes another $200

>>18113781
Black mocs with black wedge sole reminds me of the creepers rockabillies wear.

>>18113501
Grant Stone did it better though

Are The Real McCoys boots good quality or not

>>18113930
>overpriced.
Hmmm....curious....
Oh?
Thanks for the response....I was merely window shopping...

Any thoughts on Danners for hiking (the ones with leather lining)

>>18113938
I have a pair
works fine for me I guess

>>18113891
They are the nice version of repros

>>18113942
How's the fit? Are they actually roomy or is it just looks?

your boots surely don’t squish your toes right /btg/?

>>18114346
No, I only buy boots available in wide sizes.

shocking how many people post d width boot pics with them very obviously spilling over the side

>>18113750
My feet don’t seem unusual. And I think most people’s arch length doesn’t match their heel to toe.

My boots fit perfect everywhere except the heel. What do I do? I don’t like the look of a kiltie!

>>18114515
>heel pads
What are those? Pics? How do they help?

>>18114535
>What is Google. How does it help?

>>18114558
i'd prefer norvegese/goiser to that thing

>>18114535
Picrel. They hold your heel in place and reduce chaffing. I never needed them, but the work by most accounts.

it says a lot about the state of the industry and how all the boots are now horrendously overpriced, when out of the blue half the reddit/stitchdown/heritage crowd tries their hand at shoemaking and when a new etsy leatherwork shop or 3rd world shoemaker amateur turns into a MTO instagram brand seemingly every months or so
clearly it's not about rising "competition" for big factory brands, but it shows that the market is saturated and people are looking elsewhere, into complete shit and wasted money mostly, but some interest is still there, that they can't capture anymore

i think there will be a lot of fat trimming for companies in the next couple of years, especially ones that ride hard on influencer marketing and trying to weasel themselves into the good graces of the "community"
a big downside of everyone posting their boots online is that everyone can see how you're shitting the bed on QC more and more despite increasing prices, even if they aren't vocal about it thanks to the massive hugbox that's being enforced everywhere
>hey if a $700 boot can have shit stitching and garbage finishing, maybe it's not so far-fetched for me to make my own boot from scratch

Why do Washington state cordwainers stitch half down and nail the rest?

>>18114777
Nailing is fast and kinda brainless to do, as far as fixing 2 materials together go.

They would have nail the front too if they could get away with it. Too bad for them, walking on clinched nail is not comfortable.

>>18114847
the heel is sculpted and very secure

Thoughts on these as a very casual non-brown chukka I can wear with something like jeans and a henley? If not what color? I was considering some Diesel boots in jungle but those might look too dressy.

>>18114874
go for clarks desert boots instead of this knockoff

>>18114874
These were the Grant Stones I was considering. I think this dark olive is very versatile, I already have Allen Edmonds Denali boots in Loden suede but they also look a bit dressier than I'd like.

>>18114875
Those are Clark's Bushsacre 3's, desert boots with a rubber sole instead of crepe.
>>18114876
Pic related, Allen Edmonds loden suede

>>18114893
i cant stand light colored wedges, or wedge soles in general. Just get gumlte.

Just purchased the Cranleigh I've been craving

>>18114921
I would like a pair as well but if I have to pay MTO fees for a 12F I’m probably just going to stick with G&G. Finding stock EG in my size is impossible.

>>18114975
They do different widths on stock models for no fee.

>>18114978
Does that go for sizes above 11.5? I was told that 12 wasn’t a “stock” model which never made sense they wouldn’t charge a fee for width but would for a larger size.

>>18114996
Not sure about larger sizes than stock.

>>18115001
Granted I only reached out to US retailers . It looks like direct from EG might not charge MTO on a stock model in a larger size/width.

>>18114880
yeah the bushacres are the knockoff

>>18115117
They're just desert boots with a better sole imo. Crepe is too soft, getas dirty too quickly, and wears out too fast. It does look nice but only for a while

>>18114750
What were you trying to say? It sounded retarded. Use plain English

Need a new pair of steel toe boots for a field school. Are there any that don't look like shit?

id on boots?

need a good pair of winter boots, had my eye on the Soler's Hi-Line but don't think they are so good

>>18114482
My heel slips laterally (not up and down). Will thicker socks work? I don’t want to wear thicker socks and have it not work while just stretching the leather further at the heel.

>>18114750
Jesus, were those sewn by a blind man via his seeing eye dog?

Anyone ID? Another thread said these are Danners.

reddit discussing shell cordovan is pure schizo shit

even if this is about restoring old shell it's still absolutely insane to think smearing in 6 different products will work out, because each of them is somehow that specialized and they will all absorb one after another
also it's so funny to me that the one conditioner that is designed for cordovan is just used optionally as lube for the dumb deer bone in this retards mind

I just ordered a pair of shell a few days ago and have been looking at articles about care. Nothing I've seen has come even close to this insanity.

i got iron rangers and wtf and for some reason my right boot rekts my pinky toe. every time i take a step it feels like my toe is in one of those machines vise or like a crab pinching my toe. how can i fix this besides wearing another sock?

>>18116142
sounds like the IR last isn't appropriate for your foot

Do you guys use an insole with leather/dress boots?

I've been using the fancy supportive insole from my hiking boots because I thought you 'have to' use an insole. I assumed any discomfort from my new boots was just part of the break-in period but I tried thick socks directly on the leather footbed and holy shit they are comfy.

>babby's first real boots

>>18116142
They don't fit you colossal moron

>>18116166
huh? i'm size 7, a 6.5 = toes are all cramped, 7.5 = the boot is loose. it just happens on the right boot. my mocs are incredibly comfortable and have no issues whatsoever.

>>18116146
maybe youre right

Has anyone used tongue pads? <br>Do they work?

Can the type of socks you wear change heel slip?

>>18116266
depends, where are you trying to fix the fit? It has definitely fixed the instep on a couple of boots for me, and they are completely out of your way, so i really like tongue pads. But they won't make a huge difference, like say a half or full insole.

>>18115815
Maybe like red wing lineman boots like the 2907

>>18116493
mto is almost always a mistake unless it's for sizing

what are some good lightweight boots for spring through fall when the temperature isn't scorching hot? is there anything of acceptable quality that can be had for less than $250?

>>18116575
astorflex
clarks desert boot
jim green if you don't mind wearing an oversized toddler shoe made on the dark continent

>>18116549
if you're a redditor, you can go MTO and be unique yet still tasteful.

>>18113501
>>18113781
There's something very low class about putting the American flag on the outside of a pair of boots.

>>18113781
I've been wearing the 8" midnights doing factory maintenance every day for the past year. They're holding up really well.
>>18113504
These look great, anon. Are they smokejumpers? They don't look like they have that high heel, which was the only thing keeping me from buying a pair.

I want something durable and grippy for going to parks and stuff, but I don't want to get a full on hiking boot because I don't think I'd be doing it that often or intensely. My sneakers were slipping and getting cut up on rocks last time I went somewhere last year

>>18116634
>low class
>boots
That's the whole point, boots are for the masses.

>>18116934
You sound like you watch fucking NASCAR.

any anons here have experiences with using tongue pads or heel pads? I hear that tongue pads are more comfortable and work better in alleviating fit issues, is that true?

I'm unfortunately a part of the cursed demographic of people who have both a low instep and narrow-er heel, and am trying to fix the fit for a pair of Oxfords that are at least a half size too big, much appreciated

what boots can i get that look similar to dr martins but aren't? looking for standard black lace up boot with zip on the side

>>18117190
they work for a bit and then the adhesive stops working and you'll have to keep replacing them

>>18117887
not really the case for tongue pads as they shouldn't see as much wear as the heel.
>>18117190
try a half sole if you got plenty of free room, tongue pads help, but its for minimal adjustments.
https://www.skolyx.se/en/insoles-to<wbr>ngue-pads-heel-grips-etc/636-spring<wbr>yard-anatomic-footbed-leather-mini.<wbr>html
i got these and they fixed all the fit issues i had in 2 of my boots. Adds arch support too.

I never had a boot. Cop or not?<br>What can I wear with this?

>>18117931
quality prob sucks and zippers are questionable
but if you bought them and wore them, nobody would ever think negatively about them or even look at them at all
so if the price is ok then sure bro why not

Wearing cushioned socks really improved my heel slip! But unfortunately my toes are now kind of cramped. <br>Any socks with a cushioned underfoot and heel but uncushioned toes? Is there such a thing?

When did Vibram start getting shilled so heavily?

>>18118171
It looks like the image shows cushioned toes?

>>18117931
literally all i want is a GYW waterproof suede boot like this why the fuck is it so hard to find something like it?

>>18118412
Why don't you buy those ones then?

>>18118426

>>18118181
Big commando lugs for big commando dicks laying siege to ram ranch cowboy butts

Boots made my feet hurt when i'm just standing around. But not when i walk.<br>Is this normal? Or i just have shit boots?

how many pairs of gyw shoes do you all have? I'm struggling to find a nice amount to stop my to buy list at, as I've managed to curate it down to about 20 and have 3 pairs atm (most are very differing styles)

this is considering that almost everyone on r*ddit has 20-30+ pairs AND these fools spec into the same single category of boots/shoes, and in a lot of cases, just get differing uppers in the same model 5+ times throughout their collection

like I know r*dditors struggle with consumerism but at that point I don't see why their so's or parents don't wake them up from their boot-collecting fever dreams

>>18118503
Just get any suede boot you like and spray some saphir invulner on it.

>>18118551
9 but I want a few more casual lasts. those ate harder to come by because 3/4 of them require waiting for months

>>18118181
what else is there?
vibram was considered the best long life rubber until dr sole came along and they became the de jure premium top dog of rubber outsoles
they still have by far the biggest catalog though
dainite is the only real competition to vibram, but they have almost no variety, they are a bit slimmer than vibram which is why all the dress shoe brands choose them
itshide and goodyear aren't as hard or long wearing and their top lifts have no metal washers for the nails
all the proprietary shoe brand specific hard outsoles suck ass and most long term have problems with chipping and breaking off
everything else is soft or blown rubber

>>18118551
Only 6 and just two of them are somewhat interchangeable or redundant to some degree

>>18118551
>these fools spec into the same single category of boots/shoes
While 30 pairs might be too much, I see nothing wrong in focusing on what you like and wear. Why spend money in a pair of boots that you don't like or ain't gonna wear just because they're different from your other boots?

>>18118551
I have 8 pairs which I'd like to reduce down to 5. I follow a "one in one out" rule for anything new that might catch my eye.

>>18118702
Lucchese/Rio of Mercedes I believe are top of the line? Otherwise, Sancho Abarca look pretty good vfm

>>18118551
Just 3. The black ones are actually a blake rapid stitch, but... same same.

>>18118551
one john lofgren GYW, three pairs of the handsewn rolled welt stitchdown from whites, one pair of true handsewn mocs, one pair of regular stitchdown from wesco

>>18118551
Turdsdays Captain, Viberg 2030 and waiting on my Nicks. I’m going buy oak street’s trail Oxford when I’m no longer poor.

These threads are weird. I like boots and have a couple pairs of red wings, but it seems like you all are going for the ugliest strangest boots for some reason

>>18118551
I only have C&J Molton chukkas. Bought a pair of red wing 877s and they were a perfect fit but I'm currently a filthy urbanite so it didn't make any sense to keep them so I sold them. Once I move into the woods I'll buy new pair.

Probably should buy another pair of boots for winter though but dunno what I'll get. It's summer so the chukkas will do fine for now. I know technically you shouldn't wear the same boots all the time though so maybe I should get another pair to wear during the non-winter months.

>>18118922
not since they moved production to DR

i am going to africa for a year and leaving in august. what boots or shoes should i get that will be versatile enough to work with formal wear and business casual, and stand up to horrible conditions?

>>18118954
thanks, they have some good options in wide widths and i won't feel bad about destroying them since they are a little cheaper. i was budgeting way more just in case.

C&J Grizedale in Russian grain came in today. First impression I was surprised by how light they are. I mostly own PNW boots, these weigh nothing comparatively even though they have an extra 2" of length in the shaft. They seem like they'll be an easy break-in too.

>>18119006
The vibram commando sole needs a rubber midsole to cement properly, thats why its additionally lighter. Adds a lot of comfort though.
>They seem like they'll be an easy break-in too.
My experience with russian grain is that its really stiff and hard break in, makes sense considering its oak bark tanned and in the pits a lot longer than usual. Ends up being a really tough leather.

>>18118622
fair enough, but personally i believe there are way too many good makers and models to spend all your money and time in the one spot. I would very much rather stop at a small collection than buy 5+ of the same thing just because I don't like other variations or makers of the style

seems like a waste when you're extolling and justifying your purchases in this "hobby" with the reasoning of longevity, I mean, it's not like you have to buy that many pairs to be able to have a rotation that'll last a long time right?

>>18118791
id on boot in middle? leather looks great

>>18119338
If you wanna make a case against mindless consumerism and "hobbies" which at their core consist mainly of buying stuff, then I'm with you there.
But this makes "sense" if you view boot collecting as any other such hobby: some people are completionists and buy one of everything, others are specialists and amass a big collection of basically the same thing. This happens with funkos, legos, physical media, etc. I'm not endorsing this attitude, merely explaining it because I've spent a lot of time with collectors and people who make owning stuff the bulk of their personalities and the behaviour is the same.
Switch boots for motown vinyls 1960-1970 and it all makes sense... to a degree.
I used to collect things too until I found myself surrounded by stuff that I had little to no use for and was just there taking up space and accumulating dust.
And even so just yesterday I was eyeing a new release of a boot in the same model and leather but different color of another that I already own. Some things take restraint and sense, two qualities that collectors and redditors severely lack.

Anyone remember a few years ago when Whites did a sort of rebrand and completely redid their website?
They had one of the most embarrassing things ever on their homepage that said sometimes like "We're the last of a dying breed, but we're not gonna die"
It was like some cringy vet bro moto shit and they very quickly got rid of it

>>18113383
What is the consensus on Solovair? I'm considering purchasing pic-related for use at festivals/outdoors.

>>18119012
They're definitely much more comfortable than expected right out of the box. Taking them out for a spin today and I still don't think they're going to be that bad of a break in, the leather seems fairly pliable. Maybe I'll change my tune later. These are cool as hell though, glad I picked them up.

>>18119363
White’s wearers can name at least 50 kinds of IPA.

>>18119373
Crap materials, worse QC. Concensus is that the factory produces too little product to maintain quality.

You are advised to save your money a bit longer and buy something in the higher price brackets.

Personally I'd check out second hand red wings. Sizing is different than for sneakers, you can be up to 2 sizes smaller than you think. Check if you can measure your feet on a Brannock device, or go for the mondopoint size by measuring your foot length in centimeters.

>>18119481
you mean the old pube or the slight welt gap?

>>18119338
they're grant stone diesels in crimson cxl

>>18119481
My wife was making a stuffed animal last night, that's a stray piece of polyfil stuffing that was kicking around somewhere. You can see another piece sticking to my jeans. Believe me if the boots showed up with a scratch right on the front like that they'd be going back immediately.

>>18119556
i was just joking man nice boots

Gonna purchase my first leather boot - Grant Stone Diesel (Earth).

Is there any reason to purchase their shoe tree? Or am I better of purchasing it for cheaper elsewhere?

>>18119556
>My wife was making a stuffed animal last night
may we see the stiffed animal?

>>18119640
Thanks m8.
>>18119661
I looked for it but she must have finished it and taken it with her to work. No idea who it was for, she makes them all the time. She's very creative, I just buy boots.

Why are the only good boot brands American?

This is how good you look with them boots

>>18119692
>cups hands to mouth
YOUR LINE IS INCONSISTENT

>>18119649
no, their shoe trees are just generic ones and not even that good
they aren't shaped specifically to GS boots
they have only 3 sizes that are supposed to cover a very broad range of boot sizes each, which isn't great because if your boot falls into the smaller size in the range it will have a very loaded spring inside or the opposite if it's a bigger size
get them somewhere else

how do i get creases out of polished leather boots ?

>>18119713
you mean the wax polish cracking or the leather creasing?
the wax polish you need to remove with a cleaner and redo avoiding excessive bulidup on areas that crease
the leather creasing is kind of unavoidable, you can minimize or postpone it by brushing your boots regularly and using shoe trees

>>18119708
Where would you recommend getting them?

Also, is there any specific care that waxy commander leather needs? This guy at GS says Neutral Venetian has worked great.

What's the consensus on boat shoes? Regardless of quality or brands, are they fashionable or cringe?

Looking at this model from Sperry in particular. It's too hot in the south to even consider wearing boots.

Or are unlined chukkas a better option? I'm also considering a pair of astorflex greenflex which are consistently being shilled here

>>18119742
everyone always recommends woodlore as "the best", i recommend just googling cedar shoe trees and getting the cheapest ones that have decent reviews, because most of them come from one factory mass producing them and everyone just slaps their own brand on them

venetian is ok, saphir renovateur is also good, both rewax the leather, if you don't want that saphir oiled leather

>>18119373
They're fine for the money. Get a pair with grain leather. I prefer my drs though.

>>18119753
i think the boat shoe is a better idea than wearing chukkas in the summer, chukkas are the better year-rounder
boat shoes are always worn sockless, which makes them a good pairing with shorts in the heat
chukkas with shorts looks too much safari larper

boat shoes and loafers were becomming a fad 2-3 years ago thanks to the stealth wealth sucessioncore meme, now they are kind of at their normie peak, which means they are going out style again soon

>>18119753
i had a pair of sperrys that lasted for a long time that i absolutely abused the shit out of.
they're cheap enough i don't care about replacing them but they lasted several years so i feel i got my money's worth

>>18119942
>no midsole
trash
>double midsole
just adds unnecessary weight

pnw boots dont need the shelf and accepting it is cope

>lets see what nigs is up to these days
oh

>>18119954
Double midsoles give that extra half inch in height for us manlets.

>>18118551
19 with 4 more pairs on the way this year.
Half my collection is Alden. The number has fluctuated as I’ve tried different bootmakers and lasts. The worst boots I have owned were (((Viberg))), Grant Stone, and Whites. The only brands I buy nowadays are Alden and Gaziano & Girling. Also I won’t buy Crockett & Jones again after an unsatisfactory experience on a MTO and customer service.

Reddit collections are mostly cheap garbage or boring dogshit from indonesia / pnw that is shilled incessantly.

>>18120009
>Also I won’t buy Crockett & Jones again after an unsatisfactory experience on a MTO and customer service.
tell us more

>>18120010
They fucked up a MTO Islay and won’t admit it and just remake it. Still waiting to get it back to see if it’s been fixed. Responses from CS were also very delayed.

>>18119942
What is going on here? Is your left foot like 3 sizes smaller than your right? Also I'm at awe that iron rangers; the quintessential clown shoe, always looks less clownish compared to all the supposed higher quality American boots. Every day that goes by I am more and more convinced that Red Wings is actually the best US boot maker, and second best in North America after Viberg.

It's unfortunate that there is no brand that have the European sense of style but overbuilt like American boots.
>tfw just want C&J with pnw thick uppers
Feels bad man

>>18119686
Because you (goyslopper) is shilled to believe so.

any good looking boots that make my feet look like the left pic rather than the right pic? or that at least dont deform my feet as strongly. That is, a wide tip.

I was thinking that maybe a shoe that has a "fake" pointy tip would look good, that is, a shoe thats actually a wide tip but the wide tip is enlongated to give a pointy elegant look

>>18120013
What store did you do the MTO with?

>>18120071
I own three pairs of Red Wings, including a pair of Iron Rangers, and while they have their shirtcomings I think they do give a lot of bang for your buck and have consistently better qc both in their price range and compared to more expensive brands.
The lack of a leather midsole and heel stack is a tradeoff of long term comfort vs. a sleeker sole profile that reduces the heftiness of the boots' looks.
I've been tempted to get some Grant Stones to see how they compare, but I've got enough boots and little reason to get more in this price range, or at any for that matter.

>>18120303
Are those Trumans on the right?

Why are the facings so far apart? Don't you have mud and rain in America?

>>18120342
Not american. Not concerned about that because both boots are gusseted.

>>18120289
you just need properly sized shoes on a last that works for you. you only end up with the right foot if you cram your foot into shoes that don't fit.

i think american workboot brands have a wider toe box than most european boots or "classic" boots, let alone most dress boots

>>18120342
Wide facing is a feature, not a bug. Designed so to fit as many feet as possible, the trade off is of course aesthetic.

Where do you live where you can't wear boots in the summer? Feels good to live in Northern Europe where summer temperatures remain in /comfy/ 20's(C) all summer long.

There are several brands that make barefoot style boots. As far as how good they look you will have to decide.
Just search barefoot boots or foot shaped boots and take a look.

Anyone got a black boot that would suit a goth and a lawyer?

NTA but I'm med and about to pack my boots for summer. Maybe I can stretch the usage to mid june, but until late september my feet would cook in leather boots in july and august for sure. Can hardly wear regular pants too.

I don't think I've ever heard about a goth lawyer before. Seems antithetic to me. Anyway, it depends on what kind of goth. Are we talking about the Hot Topic type of goth or the Joy Division goth?

it's just a boot with the shaft cut off, which to an idiot might seem like a shoe
but it actually cut at the perfect length for maximum discomfort and the least ammount of freedom of movement in the ankle
everytime you move the raw unfinished edge will dig into your foot
if you ever had a shoe that digs into the underside of your ankle bone you would know how hellish it is
this should be at least one eyelet lower, you can even see that it's starting to crease there

fucking retards throwing money at every dumbass MTO flying by the seat of their pants with absolutely no formal shoemaking knowledge or experience
these people deserve to be scammed

>>18121248
I have a larger volume foot with high instep that can be difficult to figure out sizing since I’m borderline US D/E width. I usually find luck with wider lasts or combination lasts like the TB. Most of the time I can find other brand/lasts that will fit just fine but I don’t find them as comfortable as my Aldens.

The one exception is Gaziano & Girling’s RTW lasts in a UK F width. They are as comfortable as my Aldens if not slightly more.

New to /fa/ and typically wear cowboy boots every day (Texas fag) but recently saw a pair of Danner Jack II and really liked them. anybody got a pair? How is quality compared to the other company's I'm seeing y'all reference here?

If I plan on wearing thick wool socks with my boots should I 1/2 size up? Or still go tts?

>>18122010
Doesn't seem to be the best quality but there are a few people in the comments that said they bought them for like 90 bucks and that they were definitely worth that price so if you can get them at a discount and you like them then go for it. Otherwise there are better boots for that price.

I'm looking for some boots like the Danner Pronghorn 17" snake boot that they've stopped making.
The thing I specifically like about these is the back construction, with its leather straps to keep the boot close to the calf (rather than the more galosh-y bucket style of all the other similar boots I can find, including what seems to be its successor, the 17" Sharptail).

Does anyone have any recommendations? Looking for something I can wear out in the woods on hikes that's tall and looks similar.

Some questions about shoe trees:
what wood should they be made of?
What price range is a good one?
And should they be untreated, like raw wood? And if i have a pair of shiny ones and i get them sanded or something?

>>18123339
>what wood should they be made of?
cedar is what the generic cheap ones will be made out of, and its good.
>What price range is a good one?
in bulk i get mine for about $14 a pair or so. Otherwise its around $20 maybe.
>And if i have a pair of shiny ones and i get them sanded or something?
sounds like an expensive one that adds to the aesthetic, i wouldn't bother.

>>18123343
>sounds like an expensive one that adds to the aesthetic, i wouldn't bother.
Well it might be but from what ive heard the coating blocks the wood from actually doing anything to the smell or moisture cause its sealed within the coating.
>bulk
How many is that? And any tips to wash out for when buying some?

>>18123405
>rapello suede
lol
they should've just made their own "rapello" by spraying scotch guard on their shit before going out because that's all CFStead means by "rapello treatment"

Bought picrel a couple of weeks ago, and I'm having a bitch of a time breaking them in. Worn them about a dozen times around the house, but when I walked out to get some pizza yesterday, the skin on my heel got wrecked. What gives?

>>18123513
Are you wearing thick wool socks
Are you lacing the shaft snug?

>>18123513
Do you get a ton of heel slip?

> Are you wearing thick wool socks
I am not. I'm wearing ankle socks under crew socks, with a bandage on the heel.
> Are you lacing the shaft snug?
If by "lacing" you mean pulling the laces snug when I have the boot in so I have enough slack at the top to tie them, then, yes, I'm doing that.
>>18123521
> Do you get a ton of heel slip?
There is *some* heel slip, but nothing glaring.

>>18123528
>I am not. I'm wearing ankle socks under crew socks, with a bandage on the heel.
My heel getting wrecked yesterday was from me *only* wearing the crew socks. No second layer nor bandage.

>>18123492
well no they add the scotch guard during the tanning
supposedly

>>18123492
its actually incorporated into the tanning process

>>18123666
>>18123677
That just means they throw a few cans of scotchguard into the vat lol
Or, more likely, they just spray it on after tannage and lie and charge a premium because no one would be able to say otherwise.

>>18123722
Bold accusation with 0 proofs. Keep it up btgay.

I love wedge soles, they're so comfy to walk in.

Bought RM Williams Comfort Craftsman boots. First time with Chelseas and wanted to keep it basic in case they don't work out. I've got a pretty high instep so I am a little worried the pressure will be too much. If these do work out though they're going to be my main office shoes so I am not beating up my single pair of dress shoes anymore.

>>18123513
I usually get this. Blister gel plasters and just wearing them breaks them in.

>>18124102
>unstructured is just better bro

What's the boot of choice for the sex-haver?

>>18124161
Just spray guard, or saphir nano, on any suede after buying and get the same result.

>>18124216
i don't know much about RM Williams, but most indog brands are crap.

>>18124301
It doesn't cost more than normal Suede.

I'm new to the boot scene and am looking at options that won't break the bank. What are some decent lower priced brands and realistically what is the cheapest you'd go in a quality boot?

>>18124330
cheapest i'd go for these days is Tricker's on the outlet, although that's not really their "real" price. So i guess i'd be something around the price of TLB Mallorca or Carlos Santos.

>>18124330
Lowest full retail for boots that aren't malltrash tier I'd say 250-300, but that's brands that might not be available everywhere.
If you're just starting out I'd go with Red Wing, but that'll set you back around 350-375.

>>18124330
Meermin I think is generally recommended as the cheapest you'd go and still get something passable.

watched it and what an absurd take
he sees that the hype is dying down and the market is at it's peak, but somehow doesn't want to admit it, because deluded terminal boot brain hyper consumers exist that are swamping indonesia and china with orders despite increasing prices, getting ghosted constantly and 4 year wait lists
and that is somehow a sign that all is good and sustainable, and it's not that everyone has moved on from overpriced RTW either into being done with new purchases, like he has for the last 2+ years, or going deeper into full retard MTO territory
hearing him directly admit that prices have doubled in the last 4-5 years, while the product stayed the same or in some cases the quality dropped, is so conceited, when he then praises all of this as "passionate people making their dreams come true"
he is absolutely right though, when he says the market won't be bottoming out and things will just settle down at this current level, because people are still willling to eat shit for big money and won't really complain

>>18123884
I got a pair of comfort turnout recently and I've been thoroughly enjoying them. They're comfortable and look good. I kinda prefer the silhouette of the craftsman but the toebox was always a bit too shallow for my massive toes.
Only thing is I'm still not entirely convinced on the insole; I'd kinda rather a leather one than a synthetic one.

>>18123884
>>18124745
For me its the gardeners

>>18124748
Yeah, not sure if I agree. Gardeners are basically Comfort Turnout but with a chunky sole and without yearling leather. I kinda feel the whole point of going with RM Wiliams is the yearling leather is so comfortable and soft.

>>18124975
its not that i'm opposed to boots i just don't like to wear them every day. hjalp.

>>18124976
the thing is there's nothing else quite like the shape and silhouette of an engineer

maybe a pair of chelseas, but those are skinnier in the shaft than engies

>>18123415
not the anon that replied to you but finishing or wood type REALLY doesnt matter, as what a shoe tree actually does for your shoes is straighten them out to prevent toe curl and any big excessive creasing

don't believe any of the idiots online peddling that shoe trees HAVE to be red cedar or tout that the reason you use shoe trees is to absorb foot moisture/make shoes smell good/etc. - that's all incredible bullshit that's harped on by people that either don't do their research, parrot everything they hear, or both

what's actually important in shoe trees is that you get correct sizing so there is at least some tension in the tube springs to help flatten out your shoes, and (most importantly imo) that they have the wooden overhang style handle like picrel as this style of shoe tree's heel fits the curves of the heel block better generally than the type with the brass knobs

Any European hand-made sellers you guys recommend on Etsy?

Take the zip wallet pill. This image is just an example. Mine has enough slots (both horizontal and vertical) for a few cards, my IDs, and a fold of cash. Inside the zipper I keep coins, random things I might need, and there's also a key ring that can go inside or outside that I could put keys on if I wanted.
Its got the little window in front so I can just flash my ID like that.
I've gotten pretty minimalist after decades of using a bifold. The thing is so thing and flat I sometimes forget I'm carrying it at all.

>>18113715
I had mine custom made by a local leather worker
$50 total including him buying green dye he didn't already have and using specific wallet plans I found online that were about $15, totally worth it, I've had it for years and it still looks almost new
I had this made because I absolutely hate feeling that seatbelt type fabric on my fingernails that they always want to put in card slots and shit on wallets to make them thinner
my wallet is like picrel but deep forest green with matching threads

>>18113715
>Any recommendations?

I too am looking for a new wallet as my current one is pushing 30 years and I've needed to reinforce it with tape but the problem is finding one with _inside facing_ credit card slots (opening towards the inside of the hinge) which insures the cards can't fall out.

Look up Ashland leather. I think they're out of IL. They make most of their wallets out of shell cordovan which is one of the nicest leathers around. I've spilled cleaning chemicals on mine, dunked it in salt water while fishing, dropped it out of my car etc. thing still looks great. I have this one, I replaced my pos Versace eel skin wallet with it and never looked back.

>>18114744
Sois are too fat and lazy to wear chinos. I have always been a jeans guy, but wearing chinos every now and then isn't bad either, especially during spring and summer. Not to mention, chinos are made of cotton twill just like jeans. And you can get them in heavier weights as well. So they will feel like jeans but not look completely casual like jeans. It's hard to dress up jeans much even if they're dark wash, but you can with chinos.

>>18114601
ive had 3 ex gf's and quite a few hookups tell me my momotaros are the first thing they noticed when they first saw me. its always the jeans or the hair. i'm a schizoid so the only time i talk to females is when they approach and hit on me.

>>18114693
i used to wear chinos but they're too heavily associated with immigrants. makes me think of an extremely out of the loop pajeet or something. the looser cut pleated pre-war style of chinos aren't bad but they don't work with my frame.

>>18114803
>but not look completely casual like jeans
i'm just curious does anyone know the period of time where people started associating chinos with "being dressy"?
because originally they were pretty much strictly utilitarian work pants the kind of thing you'd see a railroad worker wearing or something.
1970s? or right after the war? i'm curious.

>>18114820
Probably after WW2. Khakis were originally military uniform, first used by the Indian soldiers in the British Indian army during the 1850's. They used to dye regular cotton twill pants with dirt and tea to camouflage them better in the Indian dusty and arid environment. They were later adopted by the rest of the world. After WW2 The American military apparently had a surplus of khaki twill rolls lying around, so they pumped them into the civilian market. And they became popular among regular people because of their patriotic appeal.

Chinos are also American. >>18114843 It's what the American soldiers used to wear and popularized. What's more American than the American military that brings freedom and democracy to the unwashed savages of the world?

>>18114693
$1 jeans are great. Anything other than $300+ chinos are shit

helmut lang used to send his promo collections out to buyers and the press with a pair of levi’s. chino’s are literal pleb tier. you shouldn’t even be on this board if you wear chinos lmao

>>18115587
Sweatie, it's jeans that were invented for literal peasants and coal miners. It doesn't get any more plebeian than that. And you can see every peasant and beggar across the world wear jeans. They're literally the uniform of the unwashed masses, because they're cheap as fuck and will last for years and even decades (especially if they are plastic blend). Chinos on the other hand are military wear that trickled down into the civilian fashion. Any time people don't want to look like plebs, they wear chinos or slacks or any other kind of pants except jeans.

>>18114693
aren't chinos the same exact thing as jeans anyways?
>both 5 button format
>same cuts
>both cotton
so one is just a different weave, chinos are just lightweight jeans

>>18116984
chinos are 4 pocket not 5, have slash front pockets, hidden back pockets, more tapered waist, more hip flare, thinner belt line etc
>chinos are just lightweight jeans
they're both twill weaves. both the same. chinos just tend to be made in thinner fabrics these days.
here's a chino pattern made out of indigo x indigo denim

Ok I am resurrecting this thread to ask what are the best high rise jeans I can buy below $100. Please help.

>>18118728
When in doubt, just get a Wrangler or Rustler.

>>18114693
This is a US thing, right?
I see a lot of US tourists with either too much break or too high, you also wear them with sports trainers and that looks so fucking shit lmao

>>18118728
wrangler cowboy cuts
one of the best high rise cuts at any price and the mount vernon mills broken twill fabric is insane for the price you pay.
the next step up would be something like tcb 20's which would be more than 100 but not that expensive.

>>18119639
I'm not an American so I wouldn't know. But cowboy cuts having more break kind of makes sense, because when you sit down (especially on a horse) the legs of your pants will slide up. So having some extra material at the bottom will ensure that your legs are always covered from waist to ankles/heels. Zoomers these days love wearing cropped pants that barely touch their ankles. It looks pretty lame to me, kind of like women's jeans.

>>18116904
>Chinos on the other hand are military wear that trickled down into the civilian fashion
>he doesn't think military civilian fashion is LITERAL government slave pleb tier

anything military inspired is zog as fuck, from the haircuts to the clothing, fucking conformist

>>18120281
i think he means chinos. there's no "right amount" of break with jeans.

>>18121358
Zog or not, most military shit is built to last, because it needs to withstand all kinds of abuse. So you get some decent quality, if it has the proper build quality. Also, trench coats, pea coats, bomber jackets, cargo pants, waist belts, aviator sunglasses, field watches, and even the fucking crew neck t-shirt, all come from the military. Are those zog as fuck too?

>>18121495
denim has all those traits too
this is a silly argument btw.
you know how you sometimes see denim pants referred to overalls even though its clearly not what we describe in the current day as overalls with a bib and such?
its because originally you were meant to wear denim pants over your normal pants typically a pair of khakis/chinos/etc.
historically it wasn't khaki vs denim you probably wore both.

>>18121498
All that fading and irregular coloration makes denim extremely casual. You can't "dress it up" that much unless you have one that has both the warp and weft dyed in the same color. And historically denim were the pants of the "rebel" and "bad boy". Especially after they were popularized in the 1950's by actors like James Dean and Marlon Brando who played characters like that. Before that they were work wear for miners, farmers, construction workers and cowboys. Chinos were the regular casual pants after WW2 until jeans overtook them in the 80's and 90's.

>>18121516
so being more casual makes denim worse?
level of casuality assigns value to a garment in your mind?
so like, why don't you just dress in black tie every day if its obviously the end game of fashion?

>Before that they were work wear for miners, farmers, construction workers and cowboys.
that's who wore chinos before ww2 too though?

>>18114601
She’s right. I don’t know of any garment has ever been as played out as jeans are right now.

Chinos suck. They make you look like a loser corporate drone and they’re too casual for some settings and too formal for others.

>>18121596
This. Chinos are the worst type of pants to wear on both and females for a multitude of scenarios

>>18121550
>level of casuality assigns value to a garment in your mind?
No, according to OP a light wash pair of jeans (or jeans in general) goes with anything. I'm saying that chinos are more versatile and can be worn in almost every occasion, more than jeans.
>>18121596
Chinos are as formal or casual as the rest of your outfit.
>they’re too casual for some settings and too formal for others.
And jeans will always be too casual and never formal enough. You can throw a sports jacket or a blazer on and make chinos formal. You can wear a t-shirt with them and they will be pretty casual. But jeans will always be casual. Even if they're dark wash. They will not go all that well with more formal pieces, just due to their texture and rugged appearance.

>>18121659
>No, according to OP a light wash pair of jeans (or jeans in general) goes with anything. I'm saying that chinos are more versatile and can be worn in almost every occasion, more than jeans.
oh, that's completely correct.

how is the world's economy crashed?
we have higher prices due to corporations being greedier than ever (record profits as well ofc), but sure, let's vote more republicans, they're the anti-corporations and pro-people party :^)
surely they won't give corporations and billionaires another tax break and increase taxes on regular people again :^)

>>18117275
Not that anon but you’re drawing a false dichotomy. The lockdowns and the shutting down of small businesses with large corporations who can afford to lobby getting to stay open as “essential” led to a massive wealth transfer in the economy as well as a consolidation of business for just a few powerful companies like Amazon. This doesn’t become acceptable just by shitting on how bad republicans are. Democrat and Republican politicians just good cop bad cop us constantly to keep brainlets like you distracted or defending one side over the other while both of them rob us blindly. Libs say mybodymychoice with abortion but not with experimental vaccines that had undergone zero clinical trials being forced into the bloodstreams of billions of scared coerced individuals, all while lying about the possible health risks. All this over a virus with a 99% survivability that was only ever a risk to the elderly and disabled. We should have quarantined the at risk, not everyone else. With the shutting down of the economy which stunted the young economically, socially, physically (sports and gyms shut down, the lack of exercise ironically putting people more at risk) it’s clear that the youth were fucked over to protect the at risk boomers as usual. I didn’t get a single shot of any vaccine and Covid didn’t do shit to me or to any of my fellow antivax family, despite media that not only fear mongered but often times even celebrated the deaths of antivaxxers to try to prove a point about vaccines. It became another divide and conquer issue, when nobody on either side should have ever celebrated anyones death regardless of vaccination status or opinion. The other anon is correct about the greedy wealth transfer that you claim to oppose while in this instance ignoring. Use your brain next time. We will never get over it. If there was any justice in this world there would have been severe prosecutions for such a conspiracy.

Are western boots /fa/?

As long as you don’t tuck your pants leg into the boot they could go with anything, even a suit.

I mean look at that jaw. You can even see his mustache shadow lmao.

>>18116298
Women are naturally solipsistic. Your "feelings" aren'timportant to her until you make them important for her. Evolution has largely selected-for human females with a capacity to form psychological schema that preserve an ego-investment that would otherwise afflict them with debilitating anxiety, guilt, and the stresses that result from being continuously, consciously aware of their own behavioral incongruities. Evolution selects for solipsistic women who are blissfully unaware of their solipsism. In other words, it helped women to cope with the harsh realities of the past, to develop a more focused sense of self-interest. Men are the disposable sex, women, the preserved sex. Men would simply die in favor of a superior aggressor, but women would be reserved for breeding. So it served a feminine imperative to evolve an ability to cut former emotional ties more readily (in favor of her new captor) and focus on a more self-important psychology. Add to this an acculturated sense of female entitlement, social conventions that excuse this "duplicity", and a constant misdirection of intent by women themselves, and you come to where we are now. Everything is about her, and everything confirms her assessments as the default. Women's solipsism prevents them from realizing that men would even have a differing concept of love than how a woman perceives love. Thus the often heard question, "can men really not tell when a woman doesn't love them?"

What should I wear to encourage women to sexualize me as much as possible?

She's 31 and i'm 41, so we're both starting to look older. It tighten up her face quite a bit. I got a stemcell face lift, but might start this as well.

90% of women's skincare products are scams. Especially anything woo like jade rollers or quarts bullshit.

Ice pack and finger massage does the same thing. If you must absolute have a cold/hard blunt edge, throw a large spoon in the freezer. Literally does the same thing.

>>18116947
>is it a scam?
if its marketed at women the answer is always yes

The fact that it is jade makes no difference.

If you allow any stone to get cold in the freezer and then apply it to your undereyes or other thin skin it should increase blood flow locally immediately and continuing for a few hours after removal. Should not exceed multiple treatments per day.

If you wear a suit, you wear socks. If you wear workboots, you wear socks. If you're hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, running, playing sports, you wear socks.

White men wear socks. White (((men))) may go sockless but most white people wear socks.

Unless you're wearing loafers, then it's ok but even then you should wear no show socks or liners to preserve your shoe.

>>18117146
how fucking retarded do you have to be to have taken this post seriously

>>18117157
With the amount of thinly disguised race baiting posts in this shit heep, I can assure you the post was serious. The limp wristed nonce who posted that is probably also a BBC poster. They see a pic of a white woman and blurt out "Im...imagine a huge fat black cock sliding in between her supple lilly thighs! How can wh*te men even dream of competing? Ugghhh it's fucking hot my girldick is leaking, god I wish I could worship a superior ebony cock before it slams into my boi pussy! Ahhhhhh I'm gonna.....I'm gonna ggggggoooooooonnnnn!"

People who aren't into fashion wouldn't recognize the clothes

>the more interesting & unique pieces have gained just enough popularity for nigger faggot resellers with more money than me to buy them up and "resell" the pieces for many thousands of $$$
>brand isn't popular enough for anybody to actually buy those listed items
I hate to sound like a homo by saying "nooo those resellers dont appreciate muh brand that nobody cares about" but nigga damn at least drop the prices so real fans of the brand who are too retarded to get good paying jobs can enjoy the cool shit

yes im poor laugh at me

>>18118580
It’s okay anon, I hope you can afford that Suprememe shirt soon

>>18117280
It’s raf bomber jacket? I knew this from Kanye west. I think it’s shite i don’t know why people like this jacket so crazy.

>>18117280
Raf's bomber jacket is literally just a generic Fostex branded milsurp that had some printed patches that look like theyre from etsy sewed in
it was cool at the time because it was in a landscape of actual dogshit, but looking back on it it's retardedly generic

Anon, if you're really into fashion, why not make your own?

The base is "woodland" camo:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S<wbr>._Woodland#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20fo<wbr>ur%20color,used%20by%20the%20U.S.%2<wbr>0military.

There's a shitload of it used online, just go on eBay and search for "woodland camo field jacket" in your size. They run pretty big since they're meant to be worn over shit.

After that, you can artificially fade it like the one in the OP or leave it how you got it. Find some patches you like or whatever fabric has a design you like, sew them in yourself.

Bam. For less than $200 you can make your own that will be as unique (possibly moreso) than the original, and it will be one of a kind.

You don't need to be rich to have afford designer. All you need is a job and no kids


What’s the most effay brand of cigarettes?

Wanted to get pic related but couldn’t find it in Europe

What’s the most effay brand of tobacco?

Wanted to get pic related but couldn’t find it in Europe

>>18117240
>Wanted to get pic related but couldn’t find it in Europe
I'm sure it exists though I see it at gas stations

>>18117240
I love smoking their perique blend, but I've made the switch to Zyn recently.

>>18117474
I roll pipe tobacco, so whichever of those you want. Actual for-cigarette tobacco is garbage.

My go-to is rolling hobbit's weed (and now hobbit's weed match, RIP) for the smell and because its cheap enough to hand them out like candy to randos at bars/clubs/etc

If I actually want flavor or to enjoy something better with another person who actually knows tobacco, while we're out (otherwise i'm just using a pipe at home) is currently plum pudding

Newports. They got a drippy upside down nike swoosh logo which Is why the niggas love them

>>18118069
they taste like child support and foodstamps.

>>18118069
I smoke newports because only blacks smoke them, so they put less of the anti-fertility cancer shit that white people cigs have

>>18117240
>>18117474
Sounds like you are more fixated with the logo/brand for some reason that the quality of the tobacco

>>18118210
literally the least /fa/
you look like a huge faggot smoking these.

>>18118210
Because I'm a big fat white girl

These because they’re just organic tobacco. Basically healthier than not smoking.

>>18118606
Alrighty, certainly no complaints on my behalf if I do say so myself. You know what I'm sayin' sayin'?

>>18118069
Just don't pull out a pack of Newports as a white boy in an American city. Every broke nigga and bum in the city will hone in on your location. Blacks think white people are pushovers so they'll always ask whitey for a cigarette first.

started with newports, then benson hedges menthols, eventually american spirit dark greens, and now ive settled firmly into the light greens.

>>18117240
>What’s the most effay brand of cigarettes?
 Hand rolled halfzware shag tobacco
With or without filters depending on your preference, you are in Europe so roll tight narrow ciggs and smoke them quickly, no big bulging cone shaped shit
If you isn't on buying machine made cigs them camel turkish royals

>>18117240
American spirit cigs taste awful and burn poorly. They genuinely aren't good cigarettes

>>18120509
Crushes are nasty, only asians smoke those
They don't hit like real menthols, it's like putting mint mouthwash in a hookah.

>>18120517
Are they even allowed to sell real menthols anymore? I am a nonsmoker but I heard they tried to ban it in the eu

>>18118290
the australian cigarette case lobby must be very powerful

>>18120520

>>18120694

You clearly dont smoke enough since you are still a low test little bitch

>>18118636
sounds like a good way to instantly max out your good ciggy karma and have every dude be your new friend

>>18120694
>cigarettes made out of your leftover cigarettes
>cigarettes made out of butts gleaned from convenience store ashtrays

>>18120717
Taste is subjective but you are objectively a dumbass
>>18120739
Ahh yes I forgot, these are definitely top tier.

>>18118606
chinese cigs just taste like marlboro. in fact all the cigs I've tried just taste like Marlboro cause they're all owned by the same company except mevius and lucky strike, I know they own luckies but they taste different

>>18118298
are the ones in the tin cans the same as the one in the carton packs?

>>18120717
who cares it's all the same shit with additives, I'd argue you menthol fags are low test

Pretty impossible to have FA packaging in this communist country but these are the best tasting and smoke profile.

Cigarillos or small cigars. Davidoff golds are good imo for the former.

There are no effay cigarettes in my dystopian homeworld of canada

>>18120641
That's retarded as fuck but realistically what's stopping people from just growing it anyways

>>18117240
>couldn't find it in europe
you've apperantly never crossed the big pond you fag

i buy these
6 dollars a pack
comes with rolling papers in a bag
deff the most effeay to roll your own

i also grow tobacco
its super easy
grow it like tomatoes
buy any strain online
i virginia broadleaf
a ton of it after a seoson

When I smoked I used to only go with camels blue, that reall nigga shit...

>>18118670
I quit nicotine completely in 2023, but light green American Spirit was my only cig.

Started with Kools green, then American Spirit dark green and eventually light green.


What did lower middle class people think rich people wore prior to the TV show where the world decided that it's not conspicuous consumption as long as the physical letters of the expensive brand are not explicitly spelled out on the exterior surfaces of the garment?

>>18117398
How would we know what certain class of people THOUGHT in certain time period about a topic? What a dumbass thread
>prior to the TV show where the world decided
So from like two years ago to the beginnings of humanity?

>>18117403
Yeah how would we know what the majority demographic, to which we almost certainly belong, thought literally 5 years ago? Idiot

>>18117398
the super rich wear left but each item costs $10k and looks worse

>>18117398
I hate these "rich people bad, super rich people good" memes. It's rooted in classism which i don't mind, but if you say to the same people who post these memes that poor people are dumber, criminal and generally worse people then they start all huffing and puffing.

>>18118926
There's a lot of weight to the idea that many designer brands prey on the middle class/slightly rich. LV, Gucci, Prada etc, every middle age woman I know saves up for a $5k bag at some point in her life and buys one covered in the designers name or initials, even if it's a really cheaply made bag (for the price). The ultra wealthy being less conpicuous brands isn't nessecarily "better" but at least the items are better quality.


Are there any comfy walking/running shoes that aren't for geriatrics grandmas? I've got a pair of Hoka Clifton 9s, and while they're the comfiest shoe I've ever worn, they're also extremely ugly and don't go well with any of my clothes.

>>18117769
>wanting to wear a decent-looking shoe that doesn't hurt your feet is le reddit
Mindbroken.

>>18117875
Get a job you pedo bald faggot Doug

I have a pair of minimalist/barefoot shoes without the retarded toe design that are super comfortable and look acceptable in a casual work environment

New Balance
Asics
Nike if you can put up with their overt politics taking away from actual innovation.

In my country we mostly have super high end sneakers (non limited I mean) or budget crap that lasts 6 months.

New Balance
Asics

Easily the best value for money in my opinion. For context I jog, cycle, gym and walk.

>>18119263
Can you be more specific, please?

>>18117649
It’s so weird to me how most athletic shoes clash so hard with most athletic outfits. People wear solid colors, generally muted, while their shoes are eye-blasting bright green or something, always with weird designs and oddly shaped. Even if these Hokas were grey they’d look strange. It gets even harder to find normal looking shoes when you get specific about fit and use.

>>18117649
So if you pair those bad boys with an all black outfit you'll look fine, but with a pair of jeans they'll look like homeless vomit.

>>18119330
Typically you want to wear bright colors when running so a wagie doesn't splatter you on his way home from the cagie

>>18117649
nigga u fat as fuck if you have to wear sports shoes for walking lol


extremely basic white girl wander but Hachi from nana has some of the best outfits in my op

The school uniforms from code geass are pretty elegant

I liked some of Light's casual outfits. I always wondered if this is a shirt or a jacket and where to find something with a similar design?

>>18117941
that's not a good fit that's being /fit/
