They are: Men's 1000 Mile Boot - W05299 - Vintage Boots (http://www.wolverine.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/20591M/0/Mens/1000-Mile-Boot?dimensions=0)
Dayum you're right.
Revolveclothing has them for $345, but with a %30 discount as a new buyer, you can get them for $240 which is an absolute STEAL.

How much??
Posted via RS Mobile
I'm gonna guess ~70 based on their current price on amazon.

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.

Good choice on picking Dayton boots,you will not be disappointed if you decide to get a pair.They may seem expensive when you first buy them,but the quality and workmanship that went into making them is second to none....you will have them for the rest of your life.
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.

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.
MindBomber
11-02-2012, 11:00 PM
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.
I have my Dayton cork boots minus the corks I bought in 1945 or6.I started selling cars and I wore my Daytons to work as they were comfortable walking on cement.My boss asked me not to wear them.They are still like new so I guess that speaks for the quality to stand up for 65 years or so. - Harold B.
I bought my first pair of Dayton's, when I was in my early 20's. I am now 46 and still have the same pair. People I talk to now don't believe how old my Dayton's are, I use them every time I ride my motorcycle. Very satisfied with these boots. Now living Lima, Peru. - Thomas G., Peru
I am the proud owner of a pair of Dayton 64 Caulked logging boots I bought new in 1971 in Terrace BC. I have gone through three marriages, 20 odd motorcycles , 20 muscle cars , two houses , 15 guitars and several boats. Through all of that the only item I ever valued and actually kept to this day were my Dayton Logging Boots.
I now have 3 sons aged 18, 16 and 13. You can imagine my total surprise when my oldest, Hamilton came home the other day saying, "Dad, you wont believe this cool shop that sells boots in East Vancouver. All the cool rockers and record producers have their boots made there and I have to own a pair someday." I asked what the name of the shop was and when he said it was Dayton on Hastings I got the biggest smile on my face.
I proceded to dig out my old Dayton Logging boots (with climbing spurs), a few old photographs and got to tell him of my brief but thrilling days of logging in Terrace BC in 1971 and how and why I have kept these old boots all these years.
Thank you listening (and great Boots). - Tim C.
As a kid growing up in East Vancouver, many of my friends older brothers
wore Dayton boots. After buying my first motorcycle, my next stop was the
Dayton boot factory located on east hastings, to buy my first pair of Black
Beauty boots. I have had these boots for over 20 years and anytime I have
had a question or concern, I am treated like a new customer with a smile
and an eager suggestion. Dayton boots are like no other, when it comes to
craftsmanship and quality, you will not find another company that comes
close to Dayton boots. Thanks guys. - Sean

Hey thanks for the reply. I guess I'm not really willing to cash out too much money because these will mostly be for the winter. Just as long as I can walk in the snow without getting my socks wet, I'll be happy.
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 (http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/49464?page=mens-katahdin-iron-works-engineer-boots) :: ships free to Canada :: Here's an entire StyleForum thread dedicated to these boots (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.styleforum.net%2Ft%2F144358%2 Fcalling-all-llbean-katahdin-iron-works-boots-owners&ei=hGmVUOjdJ6fMigKEy4HACg&usg=AFQjCNGNFvqNToFehLb8C4auXvlTYSDOgw&sig2=7SstQF0I3yKTIvNc1pY1sA)
- Chippewa GQ (http://www.zappos.com/chippewa-american-handcrafted-gq-apache-lacer-boot-brown) or or in tan (http://www.zappos.com/chippewa-american-handcrafted-gq-tan-rodeo-boot-tan) :: Same as the Katahdin, but with a plain toe (Chippewa makes the Katahdins)
- Timberlang Earthkeeper 6" Moc Toe (http://tbl.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTBL1-9624868v275.jpg) :: I have these and they are great. They were pretty painful to break in.
- Sebago Fairhaven Boot (http://amazon.com/Sebago-Fairhaven-Boot-Mens/dp/B0046G3SMG) :: 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

brown is a great color, just keep in mind leather dressing like obenaufs will make it darker so don't apply too many coats if you want to retain the original colour.

And yeah I can still get you the 275 in RUST, especially since getting RUST is usually 345 let alone whether you can get your hands on them at all.

is the 'dark brown' from the onlien website the same as rust? or is it the brown colourway?
The tan on the website seems to show the rust colourway... :O

Red wings has a pretty awsome machine you stick your foot into and it tells you exact sizing for each foot, obviously you need to go with whatever foot is bigger for the sizing
Just go in and feign interest and have them measure your feet

Anyone know where I can buy casual type boots that are kind of dressy; wear them with jeans and a shirt/jacket/blazer type of thing? Here's the catch though, looking for size 14s. Not trying to buy online because when it comes to these types, the larger sizes really go on how they feel when you try them on. Looking for a place anywhere from Vancouver to surrey or as far as langely.
I've been told that stores usually can order bigger sizes as well?

I would have a look at Red Wings Iron Ranger and Brogue Ranger.
I'm a size 14; I know how difficult it can be to find a boot that 'feels' right, not to mention the frustrating lack of availability of styles in our size. I have a pair of Iron Rangers in style 8111; they don't feel awkwardly long, quite comfortable, good quality and value. The 8126 is basically the same boot, but with broque detailing that elevate the dressiness a touch. There's a Red Wings store in Burnaby, and another in Langley. I bought mine in Langley.

what do you guys suggest for insoles? i just saw one of my customers wearing a geox one today and figured that would be comfy
redwings has amazing arch support moldable ones, you stick them in the over for 2 minutes at 200 deg then stick them in your boots, the quality is amazing for $65, better than my dad's custom orthotics in terms of build quality
however, they are not for people with a high instep, i bought them originally for my redwing 877, they KILLED my feet in them because my foot sat too high in the boot so my heel rubbed on the back of the boot, so no good for myt 877 because of the style of boot
I then put them into my work boots, Dunlop purofort rubber steeltoe, these then pushed my foot up too high in the boot and consequently my foot was "pinched" at the arch because it sat too high, so they were a no go as well
Lol my reviews sound pretty bad, but they are very good insoles and they have a 90 day guarantee, bring them back full refund no questions
Currently I'm using "Sof Sole" arch support from Mark's, they are $25, low profile, and very comfortable

You can heat them up as well just don't put them in for too long.
When it's sunny and warmer out, you can apply the LP and let it sit in the sun for about 30 mins.
I applied some on my 875s a few weeks ago:

i looked around for quite a bit for pricing on my 877's, outside of used the cheapest was always the local RW dealer
however, if the online sites are accurate, RW USA has wayyyy more models in stock than Canadian stores

Try the Bay Downtown. Sometimes they have 15%-25% off if you have a the bay card. It's the only place I've seen them for cheaper.

just picked up a pair of these Tod's
http://www.mrporter.com/images/products/325644/325644_mrp_e2_l.jpg
they've been having a sale over at mr porter for awhile now and today they further reduced prices so i snapped the last pair in my size up
after duties it came to $301.5
picked up a pair in brown too for only $155 i shoulda waited on picking up the white pair too :/

Want to invest in a pair of Loafers that I can wear with dress pants or dark jeans.
Was thinking a pair of either Ferragamo, or the Gucci Horsebit Loafers
They are both around the same $500-600 price point.
Which ones would u guys reccomend?
I'm going to try both styles when I get a chance.
Also what color would you reccomend?
Brown? Black?
I actually really like some of the brighter colors that Gucci offers such as the suede blue or red, but not sure of how versitle those would be.

they are big but too snug inside. there is no flexibility. i can drive with my big bball t-mac5 (theres a photo on earlier post) better than those shox. only things good about those shoes is it looks nice when walking and easy to put on.

I have a pair of suede DB's from clarks and I have to say they've held up a bit better than I expected. That being said, I like how suede wears out and still looks nice when its beat up, but that is just personal preference.
There are various different types of protectors and even kits to clean and maintain suede if you like it looking very 'new'
if they are full suede and not nubuck, then you should probably take care of them well.
spray them with protectant and dont ever wear them in the rain.
you can use certain types of brushes to restore the nap if it starts to look glossy.

Fuck after wearing nothing but Nike P-Rod versions for the last 7 years, I have to give up on them...
First I bought a pair of P-Rod VI
http://www.tactics.com/a/4ofl/9/nike-sb-p-rod-6-jr-skate-shoes-black-white-comet-red-medium-grey.jpg
The back of the shoe digs into your tendon, and it hurt like hell after just an hour of wearing them... Sold them on ebay, luckily for a good price since they were essentially brand new
Then I got some P-Rod 2.5
http://www.tactics.com/a/4yqs/9/nike-sb-p-rod-25-skate-shoes-black-dark-grey-white-sunburst.jpg
Tried size 11 in the store, they were too long.. As usual with Nike SB, I am a 10.5. So I ordered a 10.5, and holy shit they are narrow! Just crush my pinky toes...
So I guess I'll have to sell them on ebay. These are a bit more used, been wearing them for a week.
I don't know what happened.. I had the P-Rod 1, 2, and 3 and they were all so comfortable and so durable (hence I only had 3 pairs of shoes in the last 7 years)
But now they suck.. back to normal Nikes for me I guess
Anyway there's my cool story, bros.

Got it from TBS when they had the 15 or 20% off sale. That and good exchange rate. I think it came out to be a bit over 300 after duties, tax and shipping. Much cheaper than the retail price of 430 or so + tax that roden and GP charges. Friend was lucky and found a BNIB one in his size on ebay for 280 shipped.

in terms of a casual shoe
whats more versatile, Adidas Gazelles? Or Nike Rosheruns?
zetazeta
05-16-2013, 07:48 AM
Depends on your style. You're comparing a more athletic runner vs a more casual sneaker. Colour matters greatly as well. I'd say if you mostly wear tshirts and more athletic stuff, then roshe would be great. If you were button downs or cardigans, maybe go with the gazelles.
Imho, i've only seen a few nice gazelle colourways. Most of them are pretty bleh. Theres a lot of better choices to replace the gazelle with. Roshes on the other hand have really niec colourways.

must be leprechaun season.
you may not wear runners casually anymore but you can still pull off types of sneakers at any age.

Wore my CP's for the first time... ahh love them. Still a bit uncomfy though... will have to break into them.
On another note, I was at Harry Rosen over the weekend and noticed that they stock MMM GAT's :O. Tempted to get a pair for summer....
How much are the GATs?
I met a guy with the cream colored GATs and they are baller as fuck. They look better than CPs imo. Gonna be my next big shoe purchase I think

GATs look stupid on feet (lows). I've had a pair - definitely not worth the money. You can get GAT replicas for like $70 on eBay. The MMM version is NOT worth the premium at all.

^ I think it really depends on the colourways and materials. I agree that some look goofy but some look pretty good.

No idea. I couldnt find a sticker price tag on them, and the sales reps were busy. It's not on their online store catalog either, but I'd probably assume they're in the 500 range. They had a really nice cream/beige colourway.
CP Achilles still nicer imo. Started wearing mine these days and it is so versatile and matches almost every outfit.

I have a question about Jordan's, what's the process of getting a pair? They seem to be super exclusive and always have some sort of release date to them. I'm interested in getting the Jordan 3 88 in white cement. Can someone school me on this? thanks
