The Official Boots Thread

Get one without the seam, regardless of color. Pure opinion, but I like the darker color. I'd obviously wear both and be smug as fuck wearing either of them.

 

We are same

 

those both look awesome

I'm a big boot guy, and for some reason, I have always been enamored with Nocona boots. So a few months ago, I made a purchase for myself for the first time as a married man (as opposed to begging for permission beforehand--pathetic, I know), and I got these badass kicks:


Very pleased with my purchase.

Black Cherry not dark enough?

 

what are the tiers of boot brands?

 

Lucchese will be pretty high on any list, though.

 

just some nice looking "cowboy style" boots not necessarily exotic

 

under $650

 

I agree. I think I may get te Caiman tail in the Sienna

 

I'm a big fan of darker boots as well

 

under $250 for me since I'm in college :(

 

I like the redwings but I was looking for more I guess cowboy boot style. Something sort of like this...

 

I have Ariats similar to these. They have a little more style/design than those, but IMO Ariats are the most comfortable boot out there, that aren't custom. Ignore the color schemes. The tops come in all different colors (but nobody sees them unless you're a hillbilly that tucks in his jeans or a Florida fan in jorts) and the bottoms come in different shades of brown.

 

trying to convince my parents to get me a pair of lucchese for christmas

 

What is the best brand for someone with flat feet and tendinitis in both achilles?

I have had a pair of Georgia Boots for 10 years, but both insoles are in two pieces and both out soles have split all the way across the boot in two places, so I guess it is time for a new pair. I just haven't been eager to look because I have flat feet and it took a few months to find a pair that fit nicely last time. They have to have a lot of support and just the right insole for them to be comfortable, so I get frustrated when looking for them and usually just give up.

 

I've got some Justin boots similar to these.

 

I run my dad's safety shoe/western boot store. He opened it in 1992. I guess I could have been some assistance in this thread the last few years.

 

Idk about the brand of boot, but insoles are replaceable, man. Don't wait til they're completely fucked. You can have your boots re-soled as well, if you really like the boot and it's worth it (can cost anywhere from $50-$100 depending). I'm an Ariat whore, so I've bought their insoles for all my Ariat/non-Ariat boots.

I'm no Dr. Scholls, but I suspect you need something with a lower heel and rubber sole seems like it'd be easier on your feet. Maybe something like this:

EDIT: Ask mointegra90, he'll have better advice.

 

I'm looking for comfort and not too crazy expensive since I'll be basically wearing them 7 days a week in dirt, dust, rocks, snow, etc over here. Also I haven't worn boots like these since I was a kid. How do the sizes go generally?

 

run small iirc

 

Depends. Do you like answering the same questions over and over again? Are you okay when people get butthurt when you don't satisfy their conformation bias? Do you like answering the same questions over and over again?

 

I have bought 6 different replacement insoles over the past 3 years and none of them worked. And the sole is rubber so I didn't know if they are replaceable.

And they are pretty much already past the stage of being fucked. Part of the sole flaps around when I walk and the insoles always come out or get balled up at the back when I pull the boots off.

 

Jesus. You're right, probably time for a new pair.

 

what are your "tiers" of quality western boots?

 

i have so many fucking pairs of boots and only one pair of sneakers/tennis shoes/running shoes/whatever the fuck you want to call them

 

:amarillosmug:

 

So how bout some advice on work boots WTX and @*JY*

 

Have you looked at these? For every day wear they're tough to beat and they have a real classic look.

Man I really like those. Can't order them online from that store and I have no idea what size I wear width wise. May have to wait till I come home to get a pair.

 

Comfortable as fuck. I've worked in them long days before and had no problems. It's the red wing 1178 .

 

Know anywhere to get them online? I can probably figure out my width, I have a normal sized foot and wear a size 10. I'd love to get that pair.

 

I wanna say @tydefan found a good spot. I'd ask him, the info is either ITT or in the post a pic of your latest purchase thread.

 

I like these too

I can't find any way online to measure the width like redwing's go as far as a,b, etc

 

Red Wings or Justin is the only way to go for work boots.

 

just got these fuckers. They are chukka boots, but still, I think they are sharp as hell.

 

Well we are more of a work boot store so we don't have the very high end western boots. I can tell you Dan Post/Justin/Double H/Ariat are very good for the price. I an wearing the Double H now and I love it.
