Anyone from the U.S have experience with Solovair? I ordered a pair of boots there 8 days ago and within those 8 days the admin said they couldn't fulfill my order due to the particular style and size being popular, so they put said style back into production. They told me to make it clear as to whether or not I want to wait or to exchange styles. I messaged them saying that I wanted to wait, but I wanted to at least get an estimate for how long waiting for the shoe's making would take. They have, up to this point, not responded to me at all.

I bought docs a few months ago and they're solid for the price. You won't find a lot of good alternatives for that kind of money. They just suck at the beginning because they're made of cheap leather that is coated with some poly-shit that makes them stiff. I stuffed them and covered them with towels and then bashed the shit out of them with a rubber mallet. Afterwards they're soft as butter and comfortable to wear. I advise you not to listen to these kids and just try on a pair.

People will compliment things that are noticeable (and IRs certainly fit the bill) - so I don't know that I'd use that as the best metric.

not retarded but
i dont like them at all, sole is very clunky and you can tell at a glance the leather is fairly low quality. they probably won't last more than a season. save up a bit longer, and get yourself a pair of these, which are much better quality, better value for money, and will last years if you treat em well: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/red-wing-heritage-9197-6-postman-boots-leather-factory-2nds-for-men~p~151xw/?filterString=s~red-wing%2Fmens-boots~d~137%2F

they are seconds which means they didnt past the quality control to be considered firsts to go on shelves, but they're usually always solid. i got a pair of 2nds of red wing 875s that weren't noticeably different from firsts after a few wears.make sure you get the sizing right if you do buy these. there's plenty of info on reddit or styleforum about red wing sizing.

I'm assuming by the fact that you referenced a job that you actually have money to spend. If so, see below for some recommendations on higher quality boots (all GYW I believe). Note, what you seem to want are "leather sole" boots.

For sizing boots you can't try on in person you should be able to go to a Nordstrom's or other AE seller and get sized on a popular last there and then use this information to compare to sizes in other brands. Look on other style forums for references between Brannock and AE last sizing and the target boot sizings. Or just go MTO and work with the maker to make sure the last and size work for you.

Note, costs are mostly based off of MSRP, but 1ks, RWs, AEs, etc all go on sale fairly frequently and can be picked up for low cost prices (esp. for 2nds). I've left off the higher cost ones with the expectation that if you're dropping >500 on a boot you know better than to be looking to /fa/ for advice.

Low cost:
Golden Fox
Meermin
Various MTO Indonesian

Mid Cost:
Red Wing (Beckman)
AE
Wolverine (1Ks)
OSB (see Trench Boot)
MTO Pacific NW (White's/Nick's)
Danner
Dayton

A couple years ago I found this "Red Tape" nonsense (pic not taken by me, but related) on sale for $50. They were comfy as fuck so I pulled the trigger. I've enjoyed the living shit out of them ever since, to the point that the heels are worn down and the soles have started to differentiate into their individual layers.

Apart from being comfy as fuck, they had the bonus of creating the illusion that I wore nice shoes. My actual nice shoes (currently some cap toe Florsheims) are more or less reserved for funerals and job interviews, but I'd wear these around friends and family, even my girlfriend at the time, and they'd say "hey where'd you get those nice shoes?" Nobody fucking comments on my shoes, ever, except to point out that they're literally disintegrating and I'm standing there in a puddle of scraps and disappointment. Which is to say, this was a refreshing and positive change in my life.

Anyway, I'm shopping around for replacements and most of my comparable finds so far are either awful quality (according to reviews) or in the neighborhood of $200 to $300 US. In a few cases, like Thursday Diplomats, they manage to be both. So I just thought I'd ask you folks for either general tips or specific suggestions, with full acknowledgement that I have no idea what I'm doing and I'll probably die.

I've been seeing pics of shia labeouf and other people in those nike special field boots and I really like them, however I don't want to spend the 165€ they cost
These are mil-tec boots from a local milsurp store, 65€ brand new. How do they look?
They aren't as high as the sfb, but these would probably look better on me because I'm only 172cm "tall"

As far as I can tell without personally owning both brands, it depends on how much you plan on wearing them. If you just want a relatively inexpensive boot to wear every now and then then go with docs. If you want a boot you can wear every day, pony up the extra ~50 bucks for the solovairs.

Only own a pair in suede. I love the style of them, and they're quite durable. I mean I don't treat them as roughly as I do my normal winter boots, but they've held up over the years. I think they're still made in Italy, if that's something you care about. I've heard they have phenomenal customer service, too.

Downsides were I hate the sole. It was those lightweight morflex ones. Extra slippery and I prefer a heavier boot overall, so the balance felt off. They don't all use those soles though, so this may be moot. Also the laces fell apart really quickly. But who cares about laces.

Does anybody have experiences with the Red Wing Merchants? been looking to pick up a pair, but there aren't a lot of reviews of them online.

they look like canvas but they're actually leather.

What size are you? I have that exact pair in 43, slightly too tight in the toes for me, barely worn.

So I need a new conditioner for my LL Bean Katahdins. I can't remember what i used to use. I recall emailing LL Bean about it a few years back and I also saw somebody on plebbit mention it when I was researching conditioners, but for the life of me I can't remember. (Came in an orange tube, had a purple cap if anybody remembers what I'm talking about.)

Anyways, I need a new product. I live in a place where it snows often, but not like I trudge through snow on a regular basis. It's between Lexon (never heard of it until now) and mink oil, leaning towards mink oil since I would imagine it offers better water proofing and a more consistent coloring. Thoughts, /fa/?

Don't mind a bit of darkening or anything, unless it turns my boots pitch fucking black or something.

Constructed in America, bad Chinese materials not worth the money. There's a reason they only sell when on sale.

Nikwax makes a wax-based proofing thing. Works well, depending on how well you can get the stuff into the seams. It does have a purple cap, but a white tube. Grangers used to have orange in their packaging, I think.

Mink oil only helps somewhat when it comes to providing water resistance. It's not terrible, and usually quite cheap, but it's definitely not the best stuff out there.

But you're full of shit, anon. Last I checked they source their leather from the US, and I know for a fact they tan/dye the leather in Minnesota.

holy shit that's exactly what it was, their leather conditioner. Thanks anon.

Although I am inclined to try a new product. I found I had to condition them fairly often with this product. Any suggestions?

How would you even get your foot/leg in that. Wax it then cover it in vaseline?

Yeah I don't know what he's raging about. Red Wing is a vertically integrated company.

I was told somewhere that Chippewa boots are apparently supposed to be conditioned by Apache Leather Cleaner from Bickmore. It did alright, but sorta destroyed patina on my old Heavy Duty Katahdins. They conditioned, sure but they kinda defaulted to a dullish brown. I bought some saphir renovatuer and renomat to clean a vintage pair of red wings, and might use that to condition my newish (a year ago I replaced the lug sole with the cap toe because ****fashion****) katahdins. it seems like it'll do good.

Anyone know of a similar boot with a slim toe box available in the 200-300 range? I love this boot but the $500 Truman is asking is pretty steep.

I'm also after something with a decent tread too, none of that slippery clown shoe iron ranger stuff.
