Hey guys can anyone recommend a pair of boots similar to the picture below that isn't too expensive and looks great with jeans? This is my first time shopping for boots, and if you guys could recommend anything around $200 (or under) and the brands, that would be great. As well as where to buy them locally. I grabbed this picture from a couple pages back. http://cdn.styleforum.net/1/12/126bfbb5_DSC_0033.jpeg Thanks! |
Dude, if you're willing right now to shell out 200 on boots, I would suggest budgeting over the next few months (or however long it takes) to save another 200 or so for those Oak Street Bootmakers boots, assuming you really do want them. Hell, they aren't even out yet so you've got some time to save up (although I think OSB is taking pre-orders). OSB is a reputable brand, handmade in the USA and will probably last you a decade of you treat them well (shoe trees errrday and leather treatment now and again). What's a couple of months of wait time compared to the years you'll own the boot? EDIT: okay I'll try and be more helpful. What specifically about the boot do you like? The plain toe (as opposed to cap or moc toe)? Leather sole? Shape? Colour? This will help me exclude boots that may have contrary features. |
I was contemplating a $150~ pair of boots a page back... only because I want a spare set that I can get muddy without feeling an urgency to clean. Ultimately, it doesn't make sense though. Save up and spend $350-400 for a pair of boots that last you a lifetime. I would go with Daytons, handmade in East Van with a lifetime warranty. |

I have 4 pairs of Dayton's,the oldest being 10+ years old and they still look almost brand new. ....one last thing,make sure you negotiate a free container of their boot oil if you buy the boots,it's not much but it's still a $15 value. |

I ordered a pair of the Service Boots - $399. Available in black, brown, or camel with nitrile, leather, or vibram soles or heels. http://s10.postimage.org/7d22jdlx5/706_2.jpg The Driver - $379 - has a cool casual look too. http://s10.postimage.org/wm151nby1/driver2056.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/fz74g9031/2056_R.jpg Brown Sidekick - $499 - I'm going to order a pair of these in the spring. http://s17.postimage.org/wfvw992tb/d...sidekick_2.jpg |
To be honest Mindbomber,the best thing to do is head down to the store and try them out for fitment.They don't fit like any other boot made.The staff will determine the exact size you need when they measure your feet. Plus the shop is a cool place to check out too. |
That's exactly what I did, Spyker. I went down and ordered a pair last week after they helped me with the measurements. After you recommended them, I checked out the site and was totally sold by the reviews. Quote:

Oh my mistake.I thought you ordered them online. Well enjoy your new boots. |

Moc or the plain toe is what I prefer. I am looking for a colour similar to the boots I posted previously. A darker shade of brown would be good too. I am not too sure about the shape, but if you have anything that fits the criteria above in mind, that'd be great! Thanks for the help! |
Okay, well if you're walking in snow, the leather sole on the OSBs is not the best choice because you won't have any grip and the leather would dissolve (not really, but it's not good). A rubber sole would be better. The boots I've suggested all have rubber soles, but only one of them is lugged for traction. Anyway, here are my suggestions: - LL Bean Katahdin :: ships free to Canada :: Here's an entire StyleForum thread dedicated to these boots - Chippewa GQ or or in tan :: Same as the Katahdin, but with a plain toe (Chippewa makes the Katahdins) - Timberlang Earthkeeper 6" Moc Toe :: I have these and they are great. They were pretty painful to break in. - Sebago Fairhaven Boot :: This was on my shortlist before I bought the Timberlands, but the Timberlands were on sale at the time so I jumped on those instead. |
Hey thanks for the suggestion! I'm liking the Katahdin ones, or a similar style to that but in more of a lighter brown/tan colour. Do you have any other suggestions that would match both those? I don't mind leather as well :) Thanks again for the help, much appreciated. You're saving me hours of time!! |
if the soles are leather go to a cobbler and get topy soles attached to them. It costs around 30 Posted via RS Mobile |
i own lacoste |
anyone know of any nice gray mid-top suede shoes $150 or lower? |
Sneaker or boot? If sneaker, chunky (e.g. Supra Vaider) or slim (e.g. Chuck Taylor/Nike Blazer)? |
