Hi, I just got my Drews Logger 10''. I did their online fit kit two times. They recommended me 7D. But this size is too small for me, I need probably 7.5/8. I live in Poland, so I cant return them. Now I have big problem, because I have too small boots, bought for 350$, another 80$ for shipping and another 80 for taxes. What are my options? Pls help

I've just had my size 11 Garstang Burgundy Gaucho delivered and they seem really tight in terms of width. 

I REALLY want to love them, they just ooze quality.

I'm normally an 11, so ordered 10.5/10 as they suggested dropping a half or a full size, they were too small.

The length is fine, but they don't feel like a G to me, I'm normally a wide foot. 

So, my question is - how much "give" will I expect to get over the course of the next few weeks/months? I'm happy with wearing them in, but If they wont give much then it will be a waste. 

Any ideas?

I've been looking for boots that look like this Timberland Men's Classic Ankle Boot

I like the casual vibe it gives me as a daily wear, the heels of a normal boots always give me a formal look

which i do not want, it's weird to say it but i want something that look like a boot but also look like a sneaker, maybe hiking boots could be the answer? anyway i really need helps to find some alternative

thank you

Title, I'm wanting to invest in a lifestyle boot that'll last me a long time, under 400. I have some Chelsea's for work, redbacks, and absolutely love them, I love the convience and look. I've seen a couple of good year welt options that looks great, but my only gripe is the elastic pannles, I know for a non work everyday type of boot it's not a huge deal, but I know with lace up boots that isn't a failure point.

If I pull the trigger on good year welted Chelsea's, can I get the elastic swapped out?

If not or it's a hassle, should I just get a pair of regular lace up boots? Currently looking at the new Jim greens that are coming soon, along with the black rubber plain toe loggers thorogoods has j

Was wondering if anyone would have suggestions for crampons for the mountain extremes? I’m specifically going to be climbing to summit mount hood and would like to get crampons that would work decently then having to buy a whole new pair of boots if possible.

I have a job where I end up kneeling a lot and traditional cheap speed hooks bend and cause me pain. Any good low profile hardware options that don’t dig into your foot or bend I can change them to? TIA

Hi all,

So recently I've found out I have to wear custom-made insoles which are quite chunky. I've literally only managed to get one pair of shoes that I can wear with them, I had to buy them a size up and remove the original insoles to replace with my own. My biggest issue is that with most shoes I try on, even when the insole fits perfectly inside the shoe itself, it makes it too tight around the toe area - near the top, which going a size up doesn't fix. It just feels bizarrely like a shoe that's way too big AND too tight at the same time.

I have a pair of New Rock Reactors that's a few years old now, and I intentionally went a size up when ordering - have always worn them with a 3/4 orthotic (the current ones are full-length), and either thick socks or two layers of them, so I assumed the new insoles would be fine inside them... But unfortunately, I have the same problem described above - the insole fits inside just fine, but when I put my foot in it's wayyy too snug for my toes. I've tried to remove the existing insole but it's sewn on and I don't want to tear it out and ruin them just to find out they're still too tight even that way.

Do any of you wear insoles with New Rocks and how do you get them to fit?
Any types of New Rock boot that has removeable insoles? I need to replace my pair in the next year or two anyway, but being as most orders from their site are made to order (as far as I know) and ship from Spain it feels like such a gamble with sizing now :(

Hi,

I bought a gorgeous pair of vintage leather boots and they have white leather patches.

They were obviously worn a few times and then stored - the white leather is all kinds of dried out and needs repainted.

It has soaked up 3 coats of conditioner (I needed the cracks out before repainting the leather) - should I keep going until it doesn't absorb anymore? I wouldn't be doing this regularly - just as a one time treatment.

Hi there I was just wondering if people had any experience with these boots. I’m UK based and am looking at these as a family friend can shop them over as the UK website doesn’t sell them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wondering what the best boots are in Australia that are Goodyear welted. Doesn’t have to be Australian brands, just looking for things stocked at local shops.

Mostly interested in good-looking stylish boots, not safety boots for work. But open to anything. I’m aware so far of RM Williams, Rossi, Loake, and some Melbourne stores sell Solovair.

The petals on the grommet broke off due to rust so there wasn't anything to bend back onto place, So i just glued in a small screw. Im not sure if its a bad repair on my part but it holds so i dont see any issue

These were dope, they are hard to find via resale and in decent condition, they should rerelease these again. I had a pair but the gummy heel cracked in the middle

Hello there,

I'd like to hear your opinions about the Harley Davidson distortion boots or any Harley boots for that matter. I had heard that buying a piece of clothing from a brand known for something else is nothing but asking for trouble, but I love the design one some of them and Im not flabbergasted by the price. They also mention goodyear welt and full grain leather which sounds good but I would appreciate your opinion on them.

I bought a pair of Ariat Workhog H20 soft toe yesterday in size 11.5 regular. I previously had a pair of size 12 Ariat Rebar H20 soft toe. While the Rebars were comfortable, I felt I had too much space in the heel when I pushed my toes to the front of the boot. Like, I could slip my index and middle fingers down my heel. These new boots are a bit more snug. I can get both fingers about halfway down the heel. I can't lift my big toe much if at all where it sits in these new boots. Is that normal and will that part of the boot eventually relax enough that my big tow nail bed isn't sore after a full day of wear? My toes in general are more snug but I feel like i had too much room before. I'm confused and need some insight.

Bought a black pair of ar8 from Jim green some of the best boots I've owned so far feel like I'm not wearing anything . Expected a thick heavy boot but was surprised haven't really taken them off but to sleep or when I'm home for long periods. Is this what non retail brand boots are like?

Hello there, I had gotten a pair of clark boots at Winners (TJX) in October and unfortunately recently was on a trip and our vehicle was broken into and the only thing taken were my shoes, I've been looking and looking online for them and I know they were clarks but just can not find them at all. Now I have found a kids boot that looks very similar to what I had only a bit different, I'd upload the image here but can't so hopefully this works https://ibb.co/YFpQN15B.

Any help figuring out what they might been is greatly appreciated, they most likely could be discontinued too, even if they are I'd still like to find them

These Red Wing 1907s were my first pair of heritage boots that I purchased over 10 years ago. Over the years and as I've acquired more boots they haven't been worn as much but there was a time when these were my everyday boots. The copper rough & tough leather really ages so nicely and at this point the boots are so well formed to my feet they are like slippers. Breaking them in, I remember, was not fun at all but the reward is a pair of boots that feel like they were made just for your feet. I might have these resoled soon since I think I've gotten my money's worth from the original one haha. Now I'm sure some of you have boots much older than these so I'm curious...what's your oldest pair of boots that you still wear?

I am looking for a pair of new boots in a waxy dark brown or burgundy leather. my budget is ~$400. Having owned studded Dainite-style soled shoes before, I know I don't like the lack of shock absorption on hard surfaces. I am looking to hear feedback on comfort, shock absorption, weight, flexibility, etc. on the outsoles of the options I have been looking at or other recommendations for more comfortable soled boots.

Stylistically, I don't care a ton about how sleek the outsole is as these will be primarily casual shoes, but something like a wedge or crepe sole isn't really the vibe I want on these. I also don't think the look of a lot of the boots from the high quality PNW makers fits what I want. I am in a warmer weather state, so grip on snow/ice isn't a high priority.

Some options I have been looking at are: Lug-soled Grant Stones, Ridgeway or lug-soled Parkhursts, Commando or double city lug from Meermin (I didn't see any colorways I loved with ultraflex available.) Byron Boot from Rancourt is another option with a Vibram 430 sole, but it isn't quite the waxy look I am ideally going for.

I am fine with a little stiffness, but the rock hard feeling I've experienced on Dainite is a no go for me. Anyone have any thoughts on how the options above compare to studded Dainite soles or have any other recommendations/thoughts?

Was out on a hike, felt my heel slipping, then a strange sound. Almost like 2 coconuts being used to impersonate a horse.

Heel came loose, and progressilvy got worse

Options: throw em out, kinda cheap pair of work boots. But theyve lasted for years and have the scars to prove their work boots.

Resole.

Glue the old sole back in place.

Rip the sole off, create the first barefoot Carolinas.

The brunt boots I use for work. Before people disregard them, I have worn them at work around powder, water and caustic chemicals and they are doing great. Very comfortable and let’s see how they hold up. While it’s cemented on, cost me only 30 bucks through my work yearly boot voucher. Honestly try them and if you don’t like them, move on to another boot you may like. The thorogood are my every day and working around the house boot. Not much more needs to be said other than Thorogood makes a great boot and I love how they fit my feet.

Light mink oil and beeswax on the Thorogood and they are still good. Some light leather lotion by Mr leather lotion and beeswax on the brunt boots and still good. Don’t know how some people get away with just wearing a boot. Conditioning them and cleaning them extends their life before a resole or in case of the brunts a new pair is needed.

Love the moc toe design with the wedge sole as it’s perfect for my flat feet, gives me enough support and as long as I take care of them, I’ll know they will last me a long time. Moc toe boots aren’t for everyone, but they work for me. Iron ranger are more than likely my next boot as a birthday gift in October.
