I'm looking at these four boots (from left to right, top to bottom: wolverine 1000 mile courtland, thursday captain, red wing iron ranger 8086, red wing iron ranger 8114)
thoughts? will the shiny finish on the thursdays wear down nicely? are red wings played out as fuck?
I have the iron rangers rough and tough and they're my favorite pair of shoes.
Nathan Cruz
what is the consensus on timberland boots. Is it just a meme? Can I even wear them without looking like a NY fuckboi?
Christopher Myers
classic timbs are meme tier but timberland has some ok designs
Jonathan Brown
Nothing can be more meme than two heel tabs.
Ayden Miller
Oh shit, I didn't notice, just went to the timberland website and grabbed the first one that wasn't immediately egregious but that's pretty bad actually. Some are truly awful in every way though like pic related
Joshua Gonzalez
What are some good all black steel toe work boots? Should I get solovair?
Eli Carter
Wolverine and Thursday's are low quality trash SENPAI
Camden Reed
I've seen some of my favourite and least favourite fits with timbs. Don't dress like a wigger and you're pretty much golden. Also alpha females w/ timbs will watch you like a hawk.
Zachary Hall
Get the Red Wings 8086.
Blake Davis
fuccboi tier, especially if you wear it like that
absolutely haram
Christian Hernandez
Any patrician boot makers that run wide or provide wide width boots besides meme rangers?
Nathan Harris
I'm looking for a black combat boot that looks cool. also when is it too hot to wear them
Ian Nelson
Why does everybody recommend red wings? their toe boxes are so high and round they look like fucking clown shoes lmao
Lincoln Scott
wheat timbs are shit but I have a pair in black that I like a lot
Benjamin Foster
w2c these exact boots right now???
fuck all the other pilot boots with the ugly zip in the middle I need these exact boots
Parker King
red wings are not played out, go with the rangers, remember to size down
Dylan Walker
get CCP or Dior
Isaiah Rogers
Pilotenstiefel
Joseph Miller
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS BOARD ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW YOU AUTIST PIECES OF SHIT EXCLAMATION POINT DADADADADA BROTHERMAN BILL BROTHERMAN BILL
James Davis
Nah pilotenstiefel are the ones he doesn't want. Look at Austrian paratrooper boots, not the exact same but a similar meme.
Adam Jackson
I've got these and people tell me they look nice, but I feel like I don't have an outfit to back them up.
Caleb Baker
Ah okay, had those two mixed up.
Joshua Brooks
I have the waterproof version of these, they're bretty gud. Almost as light as tennis shoes, intended to be worn by cops so you retain a lot of mobility but still get that nice boot protection feeling and I think they look pretty slick if you blouse your pants.
Also has a bloodborne pathogen resistant membrane so you can safely stomp on AIDS-ridden nigs.
Jackson Fisher
what's the id on pic related?
Chase Reed
What do you wear them with?
Colton Miller
I usually just go with cuffed jeans/cargo pants and any kiind of t shirt, sometimes with a long sleeve button up
Nolan Parker
My iron rangers are my 'they'll survive anything' boots, tough as nails.
I've been eyeing the thursday captain in black as well. I think it's the most sleek without going to far into the ysl look, but the shoe construction worries me.
Logan Scott
The captains (and Thursday's collection in general) are definitely sleek as fuck but yeah I've heard mixed reviews as far as the quality. But then again it's only $200. I might cop later in brown so that I won't mind any blemishes as much because I really fucking love the Thursday last
John Cook
Cop these awhile ago.. still waiting
Jonathan Gray
pirates of the carribean
Xavier Ortiz
I like the Wolverine 1000 mile.
However, stories of shit quality control are scaring me out of a purchase.
What are some boots that are comparable in aesthetics that are /quality/
Daniel Ward
Doc Martens are horseshit.
I got a pair fo 1490s in October, I kept them up with oiling, waxing, polishing and all the methods I found. I swapped the insoles, used a different pair of shoes around 3-4 times during the week, the whole ordeal. You know what happened a month ago? A hole. A fucking hole split up behind the toecap. After 6 months of usage. I got that place stitched at a local shoemaker, but just a month ago, another one split up right above my heel. I went to the shoemaker again, and I also ordered him to stitch all the other areas behind both toecaps to avoid further splitting. Altogether, the leather around the toecap, the sides, the ankles and heels is all crudded up and now, patched and stitched shut. The leather around the leg of the boot is nice and shiny, because I've kept it that way and it doesn't bend that much during normal usage, but nothing has seemed to help. I live in the city, I don't do long walks or anything. I'm gonna keep this pair, and I even copped a pair of 1460s at a local bidding-site for around 30€, but fucking hell. Is this what these people are confirming as "quality" nowadays? Were Docs ever durable? Do I need to splurge more on my Docs like with the MiE-model or should I just get a pair of memeboots next?
Pic related is the stitched are behind the toecap.
William Morgan
LMAO are those made in England or China?
Even though it's a meme redwings
Nathan Martinez
Taiwan, what do you fucking expect? AKA the boots that 99% stores here sell. I think there's one or two stores (online only too) that sell the British-made models, otherwise it's online or the official stores around the world. This pair was ""just""" 150€. Pic related is the damage after just one month (November, I think) into the boots, after around 2-3 weeks after I had broken them in.
Adrian Hughes
ID on Adam Driver's boots please?
Tired of my timbs, wanna switch things up a bit
Jose Hernandez
ive had my 1460s since december 2015, i wear them regularly. ive worn them to work, ive worn them on walks in the forest, ive stepped in rivers with them, ive ran from police in them, ive worn them to bars, parties, and concerts. ive never once maintained them in any way, never even cleaned them other than wearing them in the rain. literally, the only damage to them is wrinkles in the leather. what the fuck did you do to put holes in them?
Robert Carter
MiE or Asian-model?
Charles Roberts
I don't know about quality, but those thursday captains look dope af
Jason Flores
...
Oliver Long
>jack and jones kys
Connor Anderson
want to get leather chelsea boots but im not trying to spend more then 150-200.. tried to cop from asos but i am an 11.5 where should i look
Ian Morgan
These are modified German pilot boots. I did the same with mine.
Ian Parker
Are those China or MiE?
Colton Thompson
Faggots, both of you. Nothing wrong with J&J
Luke Roberts
No you didn't. Those havent been in production for ever.
That ship has sailed my friend. Let it go.
James Wright
ID on top right?
Jacob Lee
Not him but they look like Thursday Black Presidents
Andrew Evans
Ralph Lauren
>what is second hand
Gabriel Gutierrez
What are these exactly?
Aiden Bailey
they're from a miley cyrus music vid, do a quick reverse image search
Leo Morales
are you looking for dress boots or work boots? Because the TBs are a lot more dressy than the rest of your pairs. Regardless, I like the bottom right redwings the best
Cooper Jenkins
They're TB Presidents. He IDs all the boots in the picture in the original post.
Caleb Morgan
I would probably rock boots between October and February. But I'm in NY so the answer to your question is dependent on the climate near you. Maybe above 55 F don't rock boots?
Isaiah Reyes
I'm in hell aka florida its usually 80+ f way too hot for jeans
Adam Harris
I mean you could buy boots but combat boots can really only be worn with pants. The idea of wearing boots and pants in 80+ weather makes me sweat just thinking about it so I probably wouldn't buy boots if I were you. sorry m8
Anthony Cruz
>tfw no tornadoes
Thomas Campbell
Anyone got a link to those Austrian paratrooper boots or whatever? The zip ones? Been looking for them for a long time
Gavin Lewis
any site where I can buy docs without the massive shipping fee?
south america btw
Ayden Garcia
Wat??? they are readily available to purchase on their website
Owen Morales
I dress casually most of the time but I think I'm looking for something between the two. I want something that doesn't look silly with jeans and a t shirt but that can also be dressed up with slacks and a button down.
Henry Jackson
Taiwan, read the post goddamnit.
Aaron Garcia
black leather combat boots have been played out since 1990. Those boots where only popular because similar jungle boots were worn by the military of the time. Find a aestheticly pleasing modern combat boots or don't combat boots at all.
Kevin Ross
Anyone make decent boots in size 13?
Christopher Walker
Thank god that we still have shoemakers
Fucking chink-made 1490s.
Joshua White
Both shoes are patched + stitched by the sides.
Bentley Reed
7 months in now, I'll be fucking surprised if these last aaaaaall the way into October
Hudson Harris
Asking for advice. I'm gonna cop clarks desert boots, also they are basically my first pair of boots (I'm pretty new to Veeky Forums) and I wasn't sure about color. I'm gonna wear them with black or blue/light blue jeans. Help me Veeky Forums!
Jeremiah Evans

Brayden Barnes
for what it's worth, I bought a pair of 1k miles probably 6-7 yrs ago. Mine had no quality issues and are still holding up great even though I wear them in all the elements. I'm not aware of the control issues you're talking about, maybe it's relegated to their newer production. Just based on my old pair id recommend them though.
I don't have tornadoes but I have guidi pigskin backzips with a double stacked heel and they're so outrageous that I literally never wear them. I'd probably have the same experience with tornados. I'm not home but will try and remember to post a pic of them later today, they're beautiful boots.
Obviously a force was applied to the leather for it to just separate. Those kinds of things don't happen spontaneously, perhaps you just got the wrong width of shoe judging by the fact it split at where the toes would be.
Also chink quality.
Tyler Parker
Why even bother with the cost of 'fixing' them? Just get something new, man.
Camden Powell
You mean my toes? Boi, sizing up in the store would have meant that the shoe would have started just wiggling around while I would be just walking slowly.
Ryan Bailey
Probably the Asian model, my mom got them for me for Christmas and I think she just ordered them off the website
Andrew Wright
Pic related was a dayton and wings+horns collab.
So no it is not the "same" boot.
You can buy the original dayton sure, but it will not look like pic related. This is fa, close enough is not good enough.
Post a pic saying you have those and expect to get ripped apart like a kid wearing dreamboxes trying to pass them off as ricks.
Josiah Sullivan
Black will be most versatile always but black desert boots are strange imo. Try some on in a store in your favorite black jeans and see if you can find a brown that works, most browns work with most blues imo.
Thomas Myers
this pic makes me gag
Easton Davis
These really look spectacular. Name?
Charles Watson
The old 10i DM industrials are god tier if you can find them in your country, got discontinued a few years ago, definitely worth checking eBay
Bundeswher pilotenstiefel, Germany pilot boots, check ebay.co.de
Elijah Bailey
>old 10i DM industrials pic related?
Anthony Roberts
Aldos has pretty good boots like this. I took a chance and ordered a pair without trying them on and it was awesome.
David Martin
Whatever you do, don't get the Thursdays. Trash.
Connor Diaz
should i cop this guys?
Logan Allen
i want to find these boots in europe but i''ve had no luck
they are WWII era jump boots made by Corcoran
more pics to follow
Josiah Gomez
i already know how to make them look like from first pic to this pic but i cant find these boots in europe.
again, they are Corcoran WWII era military jump boots
Nolan Baker
when and if i find these i will be wearing them with high cuffed jeans, tucked in polo shirt and a shaved head.
looking forward to getting into a lot of fights
Brody Gonzalez
What black boots look good on big feet? Looking towards something Austria para/combat boot style. Ann D and Dior ones look great but not in my size and out of my price range plus hard to find.
Anyone got any recommendations?
I'm a US 14 for reference.
You guys say docs are clunky, from my experience of seeing people wearing them it's quite true so I think it'd be a bad decision for me to try them.
Daniel Watson
>me
Charles Evans
fucking hell my bad
Caleb Hughes
(you)
Luke Hernandez
You want to look for the model code DM398A and pic related on the outside and tongue of the boot (avoid the website TX100.com its a scam site)
Its a different type of loather which lasts much longer but its much much worse trying to break in, still worth it though
BTW how are Corcorans during winter? Aren't the soles really slippery?
Samuel Jackson
Any opinions on the qaulity of Solovair? I'm looking at the 6 eye Derby boot.
Samuel Brooks
i can confirm these are just the normal bundeswehr pilot boots with the zipper removed. i wonder if i should do that to mine. might post a comparison picture later
