haven't vomited my boot obsession on this thread in a while. bought my 2nd and 3rd pair of Truman Boots. Smoke Ramblers and Cognac Shrunken Bison leather. Smoke Ramblers are harder to wear and match with clothes than I thought but they look cool with khakis. Bison leather boots are so fricken sick. Highly recommend these boots. Realized I didn't have any GYW shoes so I tried Rancourt out when they had a decent coupon code. Got Natural Essex Ranger Mocs and Natural Chromexcel Camden Derbies. Mocs have been cool for summer. The last on the derbies crushed my toes so sadly I haven't been wearing them as much as I hoped. Might take a loss and sell them on ebay. I have never had a pair of 875's so after years of collecting boots I grabbed a pair of RW 875 seconds when they popped up in my size. Nothing special but wedge sole is comfortable. In the same drop of factory seconds Berkley Supply had Red Wing / Irish Setter 9874's in black Klondike leather. I hated the Black leather with white sole so I got them resoled instantly to make a bootleg Red Wing 2015. What they looked like stock: After resole with from RW factory: I'm sure I missed a pair or something but that seems like enough for one post. I discovered Vans makes Authentics in wide widths so I got a few pairs of those for the summer. Being able to wear Vans without my forefoot being crushed is cool. part of my 2022 new years resolutions is sell 8-10 pairs of boots but also buy a pair of Nicks. Pray for me.

^ the value of your shoe collection is probably higher than the value of everything I own.

Why even fuck around with all those lesser brands? Just get two or three solid pairs of nicks/whites/Wescos and call it a day. I’ll never go back from whites. I don’t even bother looking at red wings anymore. I wear some round toe wedges from whites to work in the summer and the upper will probably last a few years. Going to get a second pair in the spring so I can get these resoled. I need to see if they make an insulated version.

I plan on getting a pair of Nicks Urban Drifters at some point this year just haven’t pulled the trigger on spending 500 dollars on a pair of boots yet. All of the RWs I buy are factory seconds which were a pretty great deal until the last few months when they dramatically jumped in price.

They’re the former GM and a good chunk of staff from Nicks, that split off when Nicks was bought out a few years back. Their shop is the former Nicks building. I feel like a broken record but I absolutely love the pair I have and I do not treat them kindly. I think I posted a picture of them in this thread a while back. No other boot I’d wear. Frank’s/whites/nicks/Wesco are the best of the best, albeit overkill for 99% of people.

Anyone ever rock some Danner boots? I like their newer “retro” designs but am a complete novice to the world of boots. I’ve heard a lot of these brands were good and became trash so idk.

I’ve heard a lot of these brands were good and became trash so idk. i've almost grabbed a pair of danner mountain lites a few times but ended up just buying vintage irish setter mountaineering boots off ebay for 1/4th of the price. can't imagine danners made in the usa boots are anything less than quality. brand's becoming trash sounds like boomer "things aint like they use to be" talk. you get what you pay for, especially in the boot market. if you're a complete novice make sure your boots fit right before you make them non-returnable. nothing worse than paying a buttload for boots then figuring out they tear up your feet.

I bought some shoes on StockX because I wanted to make sure they're legit, but I was just notified that my shoes are being shipped from HK so I'm sweating bullets over here thinking i just spent a lot of money on reps.

I got two pairs of Thursday USA whatevers, one pair serves well as dress boots. I have horrible luck with sneakers These, some off white asics, Puma Sky LX, and some other random stuff. Finally got my Chippewa Apaches back from repair. I’ve worn them just about every day since… 2016?

Wasn’t sure where to post this. I just got back from the sports store looking at new shoes (I only really buy a new pair every couple of years so I’m well out of the loop) and it blew my mind how far Adidas has fallen as a brand. It feels like not long ago they were up there with Nike, now they’re relegated to a small section of the shoe display and all their designs look like absolute dogshit. Kinda ironic they overpaid to acquire Reebok only to join them on the same trajectory.

still rocking a beat up pair of wolverine 1000 mile boots, they are fucking top notch.
will have to replace the sole soon though.
years back i got 40% off anything new balance, and now i just wear 990v5s like always. i think i've bought at least 5 pairs in the past few years ffs.
so comfy and you can walk forever in them. only gripe, i wish they were cheaper.

Anyone have the goretex hoka shoes?
It sounds nice to have waterproof shoes but I also don’t want my feet sweating.
