Guys I use dubbin for my boots (they are not dyed), are there any other products or something you can recommend for boots?
I use protexol bufalo

I got myself a pair of Red Wing Beckmans a year or two back from Grailed. I live in the UK and foolishly forgot that US sizes are a size up from the UK, so they're about 0.5-1 size too small. I've just been leaving in the wooden Boot Tree from my Loake Bedales, that are the proper size, to keep them stretched a little, and I only wear them with thin socks. They're comfy af now.

I haven't worn them very often, but I might change that, cause I want to wear them so much, the leather is more supple than a gymnasts thighs.

how do you walk in those

Go to a shoemaker, they are usually not that expensive. Don't bin them damn it, so wasteful to bin them.
I just had a shoemaker change the soles of my boots for 20 euros. Now they'll last me for another 7 years.

If you ever feel like you want to stretch them out a little more, a quicker way to do this is to stuff the boots with plastic zip lock bags filled with water and leave them in the freezer for a couple of days, works a charm

They're timbs, what did you expect. Bin them and get better boots

Similar happened to me, went to a shoemaker. Told me to bin that garbage. Cheap production makes non-durable boots. Get leather boots with strong soles next time.

Thoughts on this? Would you use this in an everyday fit? I want em to go to university and use casually, but idk since almost everyone in my classes aren't into dressing properly at all. I don't want to look too try hard tho. They are made of parol btw.

hello Veeky Forums I don't have any boots, should I buy one? I live in a hot-climate country (malaysia), btw, whats the best hi-top now?

Wait, you literally put weight on the toe to collapse the bump?
Why? The bump toe isn't even bad unless you have huge feet.

Half a size smaller than your usual shoe size or half a size smaller from the half down you should already be getting your boots in?
I half size down in all my Red Wings and they fit great. I have no complaints with my Rangers

Copped leather boots for 35 euros on discount the other day. We'll see how long they last.

Beware the inevitable CQ issues. Wolverine is famous for their shit quality. Also leather soles are trash.

looks like ma+

As in they're half a size too small for my feet. If I wear thick socks, like I usually do with my other boots, they get uncomfortable quickly. It's alright with thin socks.

Need some fit advice.

I currently have pic related in 3 sizes:

14D - clown shoes
13D - probably too narrow
13EE - maybe okay?

There's a bit of room in the toe box. My little toes slightly touches the side and my big toe toes touch the side of the boot.

Is this fine? Will this break in or are they still too small? I think the flex point is okay.

Cheers

Got a pair of Austrian combat boots 2 weeks ago and they squeak every time I step. I think it comes from friction from the bottom of the insole under the balls of my feet. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

I’m not familiar with that brand, so I. And tell you how they break in. Will you be wearing thick socks? Generally you want a half-once between your big toe and the wall. It’s ok if your toes touch the wall a bit, but if they’re pressing into it and it’s painful, that’s not good. Choose whichever feels best, and if none of them feel right then try more sizes.

Take out the insoles and replace them with something that doesn't slide around.

I am getting really bad blisters/wounds in the back of my heel in one pair of my boots. Anything I can do to prevent this? I don't even know why is it happening, when I feel it around there is no breaks or any points that could be doing this.

anything that doesn't cost me a thousand dollars? I'm not that cheap, just saying ysl is a bit much for me.

story et fall or everyday hero

Is that a half inch between the side of my big toe and the side of the boot? That sounds pretty big to me!

Replace the insoles, then seriously oil the vamp. The liner in the toe might be rubbing against the shell, so use something thin like orange oil to soak the entire creasing section of the boot

These are the most recent pair of boots I've purchased. Margiela distressed suede side zips with crepe sole. Quality is okay I guess...haven't bought a pair of MMM boots in a while. Nothing like the older seasons. I think due to the material, the boots tend to be a bit loose in the profile and shaft. Would've returned, but I got them for $250 so I'll just use them as casual beaters.

Thinking of getting a pair of Guidi 995s in cordovan contrario next.

Any other boots that are similarly styled (as Guidi and not too "peacocky" ala M.Moria/Layer 0 clown toe or CCP)

Some of these are peak avant-garde, some are autism, most are both

What are they? They look pretty cool.

you can get used slp boots for like $500-$600 which is a pretty good investment honestly

The white ones are impossible to find.

Frye or Thursday’s? I can’t seem to find good casual boots.

Can someone just recommend me a good priced, good quality, and fashionable pair? All black.

t. pleb who wore trainers all his life

Do you have any suggestions of what type of insole? Any specific material or characteristic? I appreciate the help by the way.

is there anything similar to jarmund put design-wise that has a good sole and doesn’t slip all the fucking time on every possibly surface?

Anyone else have any input on
How do your toes fit inside boots? Is there lots of space either side or are they touching the sides (lol).

Most people are gonna wonder why you have ass burnt into your timbs.

I'm not a huge fan of moc toe boots. Could go well if you want a workwear vibe I guess.

I've trying to find some formal-ish black boots, similar to pic related. I think these are slp and I don't want to spend 4 digits on a single pair of footwear. My budget is ~300 yuros, any ideas.

Fake slp, then off yourself for buying fakes

>formal-ish black boots
Just say sleek. There's nothing formal in boots like that.

Sanders Kelso

Meermin

Solovair 11 Eye Hawkins. Much sleeker than their regular 11 eye derby boot

Fake timbs with a fake welt. Mother fucker.

They can't fix that tho.

Real timbs have a fake welt too, you know?

Looks really solid for the price

Lol fucking trash. You probably think youre some "street ninja" or some shit

These are Abe boots by Caterpillar. I want a pair of them but all I can find online are Abe boots with canvas instead of all leather.

Does anyone know of any similar all-leather boots?

>ass p
I see what you did there.

damn nice, where at?

I've had mine for about seven years and they've held up really well despite my beating them to hell. It looks like they've reinforced the stitching and switched the insole since I bought them. Mine are probably nearing 1000 miles of wear and still going strong. The leather is not the highest quality but they have a nice slim profile and they're worth the $200.

Thursday boots how is the quality? Is there anything better at or around $200? I don’t like the look of meermins.

What are they?

guys why did my perfectly black boots became basically brown by using them? can i fix that?

I'm looking to buy some derby dress boots. Six or eight eye, not sure yet. Any recs?

thursdayboots.com/products/mens-black-captain

Captoe or plain?

is is possible to remove that ugly ass tag

You can just cut it off, or just ladder-lace and push it down with your laces. I do that, works out fine.

Sauce?

shit quality, shit leathers. go english bootmaker or meermin.

8 is very atypical for a derby boot.

Would Thursdays at least be good beaters or are they not worth the price at all?

If you're looking for a very slim toebox there's some impressive made to order Indonesian bootmakers for around $200~300. Otherwise British makers like C&J or Meermin would be better.

Thursdays age terribly.

Is it anything to do with the Chromexcel leather?

chromexcel is great leather but clicking is everything and thursday seems to consistently do a bad job.

Went to the shoemaker, you guys were right, they' re fucked. Recommend me similar boots, 70€ max pls.

Only 20€ tho, but I guess I got what I paid for

are the left boots docs?

ID bottom middle

Do steel toe boots go well with cargo shorts?

Entry level boot recommendations? I'm aware of Docs but I'm trying to explore my options.

Please do not

I want to wear boots but they make me look like im trying to dress older than i am (19 still looking 16). Any advice?

No.
