Boots of Jow Forums

Used to have a pair of waterproof blackhawks that I wore since I was a teenager until one of the soles fell off. Pretty sure they don’t even make the ones I had anymore.

Swiss Ks90 combat boots.

I have never once purchased a sneaker for the aesthetics but this just changed my mind.

I wear Corcoran Steel Toe Jump Boots to work. They're really fucking comfortable, waterproof, slip proof, and easy to clean. Kind of a bitch to get on and off, but that's my only complaint.

My everyday shitkickers are Chippewa service boots. I've probably got close to a thousand miles in them. If its real muddy or I'm going hunting or whatever I'll wear Austrian paratroopers

And because I want to show off, my favorite pair of "dress-casual" boots are these ridiculously overpriced Wolverine cordovan 1000 milers

Been using these Bellevilles during the winter. For $50 in a rare EEEE size I could not pass.

Thanks, KS90's seem to be a really good choice for the money.

>Do you go for milsurp or off the shelf LARP tactical 5.11 faggery
none of the above. step aside for the GOAT boot.

Timberland Pro somethings
I can never remember the name.
They are chemical resistant, water resistant, steel shank, quick release system.
Pretty fucking tits for $170.
I use them for work, when I'm not at work I wear Supra Vaiders for maximum comfy. Easy to slip on and off and last for years.

Would love to buy, but I have EEEE width feet.

Seconding Wolverine boots

This, very based and redpilled boot

I wear daily Jalas Combat boots. Made in Finland, fits perfectly my absurdly Finnish feet. And by Finnish I mean wide. I have always had problems with common European shoes/boots due that.

Attached: jalas combat.jpg (1567x1772, 323K)

I have 3 pairs of boots. My old army combat boots, austrian paratrooper boots(Squeaky fuckers), and those rhodesian SADF boots.

I've been wearing Eccos similar to these for a few years now. I'm looking to switch to something a little taller though.

the Austrian milsurp boots that the Kommandostore was offering. Hiked up mountains in those ugly heavy bastards. Workd great - have to get them resoled though.

All these faggots posting stock photos of boots you probably don't even own or never wear. Austrian MILSURP straight from Ivan. Best goddamned boots I've had in a long time, cheap, and what I wear daily.

I’ve heard sambas are god tier driving shoes

After my surplus army boots my uncle gave me wore out i started wearing unisssued jungle boots. They even have the leather spike pad in them. I don't wear anything else but boots.

The best pair of boots I ever owned came from a milsurp store- I forget the brand, but when I get enough money put aside I should go get another pair of those- they lasted me about 2 years of heavy use. The only pair of boots I have today are some cheap rain boots I got at Walmart because we've been getting heavy rain off and on for a month.

the BEST boots out there are Saloman GTX 4

all year long

Wear these pretty much everywhere other than the gym and work.

These boots are very comfortable, and they are good for moving in the back country. They can be used for easy to moderate rock climbing (up to about 5.8)

I've got a pair too. I bought them because I work on the Lakes and apparently they're modeled after the boots they sold to miners in Minnesota and the UP. They're good boots, pretty comfy for casual use. Definitely doesn't qualify as a "work boot" by modern standards though.

lowa baffin pro for work innawoods
altra trail runners for hiking

right with you there my man
keen does a pretty wide last + wide sizes and they seem to be well regarded in the tactical light hiker market. otoh i've never tried their boots and their casual shoes seemed to aggravate some medial shin pain.

original issue JB's I kept after ETSing

>wide sizes
apparently not! though I stand by the wide last part.

lowa renegade might also be worth a look and those I know come in wide.

Is that actually a Finnish thing? Bc I'm half Finnish and my feet are pretty wide, I almost never buy normal width shoes

I really wanted to love some Danner striker Torrent Goretex boots I bought but holy fuck I sent them back immediately. They looked and felt like shit for a 200 dollar boot.

My daily wears are the Austrian meme boots and Waxi meme boots from Ivan. Also considering a pair of KS90s to pick up.

You garrison your t8s? Kys pog, those are a real boots...

Yeah. It is somewhat common for Finnish people to have wide feet. I have to wear either size 47-48 shoes due to that. 47, if the shoes are Finnish and 48, or even 48,5 if the shoes are otherwise European style. I think in US sizes the size would be 14.

wear these ugly shits because I spent $300+ on them and they only look good in pictures
extremely tough leather though

dude, if you're going to do a dress boot - why not Red Wings or the USMC/USArmy WWII roughout boots?

Interesting, never heard that but I guess it explains why my brother and I have wide feet, I usually need to buy a half to full size up just for the width of my feet

7565 here, consider me fucked, based user

those are red wings

those are beckman's kiddo

are these uninsulated? they look nice but I don't wanna be too hot in the summer

meant for 40848670

they are not

ah, my mistake.

are not as in are insulated or are not insulated

Altras are the best sneakers I've ever used, but they wear out quickly. It's not that big of a deal as I'll happily pay a dollar per day to use them, which is less than what i end up paying per day when you look at their lifespan.

they aren't insulated. Unless your feet sweat like a whore in church, you'll be fine in the summer

cool ty user

A pair of merrell Chameleons. Light, comfortable, and multi-mission/environment capable. They do well in most conditions I wear them in, whether in Afghanistan or at home innawoods, if I need anything more rugged, I switch to a pair of Lowas, if I need even lighter/athletic shoes, a pair of Altama Maritime Assaults. For just every day wear and aesthetics, I have some French Army Rangers.

I only wear three shoes with about 90% of use going to the gray ones

this is 100% true. for the last couple years I've just waited till last year's model goes on sale and bought 2-3 pair then.

So far so ok with these.

lmao you're fucking retarded. Read that post again then haze yourself.

Surely you're wearing repros, and not wearing out 80 year old surplus boots, right user??

Steel toed USAF boots that still have my laundry mark in there.

OR a battered old pair of 8" Carolina logger boots, also steel toed. Thinking of getting a pair of decent cowboy boots again, since i no longer require a steel toe for work

Your the fuckwit he said thr t8s are garrison boots

I've had good results with pic related.

Ugly fucking moccasin toe

>ugly

>have to get them resoled though
>Workd great
Sure it did user.

What are your thoughts on those merrells? How long have you had them?

What boots did these suckas wear?

Attached: Columbine_Shooting_Security_Camera.jpg (364x274, 18K)

None of those things would prevent them from working great unless the sole was completely stripped.You should understand that ugly things can still work, look at you.

Comfy as fuck. I wear them everyday for work, gym, walking, etc.
Going to buy trail runners though, these aren't that good on slippery surfaces, these are effectively "city shoes" if that makes sense

Ah okay. What trail runners are you looking at? I'm looking for a new pair myself and have been asking around for recommendations.

Lowas. Feel like slippers. Grip better than any boot ive had and ive had a few.

Merrell trail gloves. I love the red on them, and having comfy shoes with the amount of flexibility and breathable material is a godsend

Attached: PicsArt_03-12-07.51.29.png (960x960, 1.54M)

Wait I thought the ones you have were trail gloves.

No, there are Vapor gloves, city slickin shoes

>Jow Forums doesnt know that boots are a dead meme

I wear the acadias

Oh wow okay. How do they fit? Are they true to size with other brands or would you go a half size up or down?

Lowa Zephyrs, of course.

Mein nigger.

super rugged, athletic, and supportive

Perhaps Jow Forums knows.

Where can you buy decent quality jackboots without the risk of them being extremely worn out surp or waiting a year for a guy in Czechia to make it?

Why do people think cowboy boots are viable when so many more modern full height boots exist? You cant convince me they look cool.

Why is it always these Vans type skate shoes?
