Hi all. I recently got a pair of Craft and Glory 6" Hikers. I was intending to use kilties with them but they have only D-rings for the laces instead of eyelets. But I could not find any photographs or info anywhere if I could even use kilties with this kind of system. Has anyone tried it? Is it even possible?

What are some higher end/luxury brand and models for "work boots" similar to iron ranger, beckman or 1000 miles aside from popular PNW brands like JK and nicks. I prefer quality and comfort without too much ruggedness (like pnw brands) because I won't be using them for actual physical work. I guess what I'm looking is something like Truman's but better in quality and craftsmanship between $400 and $800.

Someone that knows the name of these boots I need it for a photo shoot pls help me

I'm trying to find a nice pair of blue/navy boots with a toe cap.

Hi everyone!

Going through a fashion subreddit here in India, a person suggested Chelsea Boots.

I do like dressing up to office in business casuals and also similarly to casual meetups. So I was thinking a Black Chelsea Boot could allow me to do both.

I emailed BLKBRD, Bridlen and Kozsako - Heard back pretty quickly from Kozsako, but I'm suspicious on the quality and reviews.

Yet to hear back from BLKBRD but couldn't find any Chelseas with black upper and sole. Custom making that would make it impossible to return if unhappy.

Bridlen did get back but it's the most expensive of the bunch at 280$ (also no chance for any discounts or returns)

I've also constantly been seeing Craft and Glory's ads - are they reliable? They seem to be the cheapest but I don't want to cut corners on my first pair.

I plan to move to the US next year, but I wanted to have a pair goodyear welted rubber sole boots which could last me a really long time. Please share your experiences with these brands, thanks in advance!

Edit: If you have experience with other brands available here too - do let me know!

Below is an example of the sort of style I'm looking to get.

Found these listed near me for $250 on FB marketplace. First Whites and looking for perspective.

I'm thinking of grabbing a pair of waterproof Timberland boots next week or so. What are your thoughts on the brand? I've scrolled a bit in the sub and didn't see it talked about at least recently.

How are they on foot Im standing all day every day and I find that my arch is always hurting and I've been needing a pair of rugged tough boots and the pasific norwest boots seems to have the best arch surrport and toughtness I've ever seen how are they for wearing all day

I recently got a pair of gorgeoussss vintage Frye campus boots in a size 7 1/2 and they’re just a little small on me! Looking to trade for another vintage Frye campus or lace up boot in an 8 or 8 1/2!

I plan on calling JK Customer service to get guidance but figured I'd ask here too... oddly enough, I DO own a Brannock device but not a tailor's tape or standard ruler 🫤 (and standing on a tape measure isn't precise given the hook/bend). I don't have access to a printer currently so can't print out their sizing diagram/tape.

I wear a Men's US 9.5 EE Danner Bull Run Moc Steel Toe/Mountain 600/Crater Rim/Mountain Light Cascade and 9.5 Jim Green African Ranger.

Would someone here be kind enough to help a brother out with how the Brannock device's 9 toe to heel length, 12B / 12 arch length data in my photo relates to JK's sizing chart? Not really sure how the 12B correlates with their foot circumference data. I took my photo with work socks after a 5 mile walk so foot is properly expanded.

PS I'm almost tempted to make the 4-5 drive to either Kennewick or Spokane for an in person fitting.

Hi guys,

I'm new here and I wanna buy my first boot. I fell in love with the Thursday boot Captain StormKing® (tobacco) https://thursdayboots.com/products/mens-captain-lace-up-boot-tobacco?variant=32582249840730 . But.. I'm from the Netherlands so with shipping VAT etc. It becomes more expensive so I started looking into european alternatives, Like this Yanko (Cap toe service boot dark brown waxy commander)): https://www.skolyx.se/en/boots/2240-yanko-cap-toe-service-boot-brown-waxy-commander.html

Does someone in here have experience with Skolyx Yanko, or maybe even this boot in particular? Are there other alternatives that I should consider (that I can get in Europe)?

Thanks!

For those that asked. Darker, but a bit more waterproof.

Boot experts, please help!

I’ve become obsessed with these hiking style boots, specifically the Diemme Rocca Vets, but am looking for a cheaper alternative.

I like the lace style, and the fact that they are mid-top, instead of super high. Is there a specific term for this style of boot, and any brands that have a similar silhouette?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been looking high and low for a boot similar to this & I can’t seem to find one that’s in stock. I’m looking for the skin tight material around the ankles (similar to Steve Madden Cyprus platform boots) and the clunky shoe. Any ideas or recommendations?

Will purposely sunning my boots lighten or darken them?

I would think darken. Specifically the RW CR&T.

Just got a pair of K9s and want to replace the lace with something a little more interesting.

I like the laces on the Fugazi Mules and am looking for something similar for my boots if anyone has any recommendations

Thanks!!!

I’m looking into a way to speed up the break in period for my new Redbacks. They fit great, but, they are a little uncomfortable at the heel. What kind of oil should I use to soften up the leather a bit there? The leather seems much thick there compared to the rest of the boot. Should I use oil on the whole boot or just where I want to soften up the leather? The retailer recommended mink oil?

I landscape and I clean my boots once a month now to prolong the inevitable leather cracks. The cleaner says re apply if necessary but no matter what I do my rag is black or gray. Is it just infinite dirt? Or am I just trying to work the dye out? And I know I’m not supposed to get my boots wet but if the interior of my boots are water proof and my boots stay soaked in Washington weather, can I just soak my boots in the sink or something? Or just scrub it under water? And do my boots have to be 100% clean to apply the oil? I just want my 300$ boots to last a bit longer than my last pair

I recently acquired some stellar Allen’s cowboy boots. I have a concert I’d like to wear them to. I’m seeking advice for a great insole I could use with them, because I plan to be standing for several hours in a row.

Would gel be the way to go here?

I’m a serious concert-doer. I line up early, I go for the rail, and I stand there from the time doors open until the time the encore ends. I’m in the latter half of my 30s. Should I even hold onto this boot-wearing idea, or is it ill-advised?

Thanks!!!
