23 M. I have ankle problem so I have to wear Calf length orthotics. It’s extremely difficult to wear normal length boots(neither Chelsea or lace up boots). Can someone suggest me good lace up OR low rise boots which is good for Business casual or City wear?

Starting a new job that's going to require me to purchase new boots and all I'm finding is pull up western boots at this shaft size online, need some recommendations or if I have to say yee-haw everyday soon.

So recently i bought dr martens-ish type of combat boots (exactly steel combat boots) and i wanted to spice them up with red laces or white laces but im worried that it might get me in trouble. What can i do to avoid getting beat up for white or red laces. Im a punker and im kinda worried and bored of black laces

I love my blundstones but wanting more variety in style than what they offer. I'm looking for a boot with great shock absorption and extreme comfort for all day wear. I prefer taller shafts. I have skinny ankles and narrow feet with high arches, so i put insoles in most everything. In my blundstones i actually use their construction worker insoles. I'm a lightweight person with twiggy legs so i prefer a lighter weight boot (because I'm also clumsy and trip easily)

Thanks in advance y'all i can't wait to hear your suggestions.

Example: i recently purchased the teva Rowena lace. It's rated for all day wear and has a "max comf" insole. These are very nice boots with high quality leather however they lack shock absorption, aren't very springy and even with an insole not very comfortable :( probably going to have to return

I’ve got a pair of Jim Green AR8s on custom order and I’m wondering what’s the best waterproofing wax out there, I find myself around the woods often and caught in the rain constantly. Wanted to make them better in the rain so I’ve been looking about at things such as Grangers waterproofing wax and other similar brands.

I came across SnoSeal and it seems to be far more expensive than the other waterproofing waxes I’ve seen but is the quality of it worth the cost? Do they do the job significantly better than Grangers making it worth the cost?

I can get Grangers Wax for about £4.50 from a local outdoors shop whereas SnoSeal is around £14 on Amazon UK.

I'm try to find a good brand for steel toe boots does anyone have any recommendations??

After years of searching I finally found the most perfect boot. It accepted sweet and sour very well.

Beside White's because the fact of the matter is they are now owned by a Tokyo, Japan company named ABC-Mart. So, if you are looking for a pair of boots American made that would be : Drew's, Frank's, Jk's or Nick's.

I bought JK's. The boot themselves I had them customer to fit my enormous wide feet. The boot is amazing. It took about 1-2 months of break in. Which for me is terrible. But after that...everyday they get better and better. They have become my everyday wear because not only they good for the work I do, but they are damn comfortable.

Now, their service, the guy I talked to Jake and eventually the owner's son they are extremely nice people, they want to do right. But I order my boots in Dec. And didn't see them until May. I had to get sizing done twice because they lost my fit. Mind you @ that time it was 8-10 weeks max...not 20.

Would I buy them again...absolutely. but I would like to try Nick's because I hear so many good things about the boot.

Been wearing them for the past 2 months. Love em.

Best boots ive had

I am European and I see an option for a Unisex centimeter based brannock device

And I also see an option for an American size male specific one.

Which one should I get?

What's the pros and cons of owning a Jungle Boot? Sure, all thing do have goods and bads but I wanted to know what this pair of boots can bring to the table.

I have one foot which is considerably longer, meaning one foot is a EU 44 and the other 42

Getting shoes that fit both feet perfecttly is basically impossible if not going to cobblers for custom made shoes, but is there some way to make one of the shoes "smaller"? Ask a cobbler to add extra layers of leather, some special type of insoles that doesn't mess with the balance or anything else?

Planning on buying some boots and I decided to measure my feet before purchase, i've always been UK size 8 or 9 but I measured and according to sizing guides my feet would only be a size 7 at most. I do have quite wide feet but all my current shoes are size 9 and fit me well. What should I do? (i've never bought shoes online before, nor measured my feet properly before now)

I'm trying to decide between the Frye Tyler Lace Ups and Thursday's Vanguard or maybe Cadets. I walk 5+ miles each day so I'm looking for something that will last. All these boots are Goodyear Welted but I'm not sure if one brand will hold up better or be more comfortable...

On other posts people have hinted at Frye having worse quality but looking overall better.

• Have any of you bought both Fryes and Thursdays?
• Which did you prefer?
• How long did each last?

Hi all!

I'm considering a pair of boots that would mostly handle daily motorcycle use in the rain, puddles and potholes and all, and some light-medium, nothing technical, hiking around in the wet tropics once every couple of weeks or so.

Now I have a few shoemakers around who are offering both Norwegian Stormwelt and Veldtschoen construction for a more outdoorsy and water-resistant pair, and I need some third-party opinions on the pros and cons of each of the methods.

Thanks!

I work in a very large manufacturing plant in Austin Texas and with me being an equipment tech and the sheer size of this place I end up having to do a lot of walking. I recently purchased some Red Wing technician boots and I am not unhappy with my purchase in any way, the boots are awesome, I was just curious to see if anyone might have some advice on some steel toes that are good for someone who is going to be on the move a lot

I'm on my second set of "waterproof" boots and wound up soaking my socks today. I work at PetSmart and am usually closing which means hosing down the play rooms with chemicals and such and I inevitably wind up with the bottom like 4 inches of my pants getting soaked without noticing because of the boots underneath but today my relatively new(2 months) "waterproof" boots leaked by my toes, I changed the socks for dry ones and the moisture just spread on the inside and the outside of the socks were noticably damp when I took them off like 2 hours later. I hate having to lace up boots and untie them to get them on and off so I love having the zipper to get them on and off. Composite toe is nice but not a necessity. I see loads of boots that claim to be waterproof but the two I already got said they were too so I dont really trust the label now.

My main question is if these are waterproof. I don't expect to have them submerged in water and still be dry but I've heard from people that if you even touch water you will get them wet, is this true? And are these better then ALTAMA all leather boots with the non Panama soul? Thanks for any help.

My father, a great man, happened to pass on to me his flat-as-a-board arches (lack thereof.) I've struggled with finding comfortable shoes my whole life, especially since I generally wear 13/14s depending on the brand. I've always loved the slick clean look of black jump/paratrooper/military style boots, but I can't seem to find any that would be suitable for my large flat feet.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
