The Premium line from Converse are super comfortable, they have better quality insoles.
Also, Buttero, Common Projects and Svensson make nice shoes.
If I could get some of these I'd be a happy dude.

I can't believe no one has suggested PF Flyers yet. Seriously, classic vintage look, and reasonable arch support. If you don't like it, the insole is removable, so you can pop in an aftermarket one. Go with the Center, either high or low. All that for around $50.
What is wrong with you people? Hell, they're even Injun Jack approved…

Ok, forget Gav's question. He bought some sneakers already.
Which companies make boots in a light Natural leather right now?
Like this, but not hikers.

I know this question has been asked to death, and it's the bane of this forum…but thats not gonna stop me.
If I can wear a 38" waist jean snug but comfy, it would make sense to do either the IHxB01 in a 38 (37 measured, but with stretch over time) or the 666XHS in a 38 (39 measured, but little/no stretch). That makes sense, right?

Wear them, enjoy them, don't over think the experience and worry about if you're doing it right, just get it done.

And post pics!

Does anyone know who makes these boots? I know the laces are from The Blue lace Project but I can't find any boots that look like this.
-
If I'm a size M in regular tee shirts (eg. IH tees), would I be an M in Hanes Beefy tees?
Should be. I'm a Large in both.

Has anybody handled the HTC belts that self edge sells? I really like the looks of them but I feel like I may think they're too insubstantial for how much they are.

Thick leather tends to dry out quicker, require much more maintenance and not be as strong as some thinner, better quality treated leathers. I learned this by speaking to several leather craftsmen when doing the HWDC belts.
That is not to say that all thick leathers are bad to make belts from, but it is to say that you should worry far more about the quality of the leather than its thickness.
-
You're definitely right. I'm wondering if those belts will feel toooo thin, but I trust that the leather is of sufficient quality since self edge was involved. I'll probably not be able to resist with the sale….thanks Gav

I haven't handled them but they have a pretty good reputation for whatever that's worth.
If they are studded, you don't want thick leather for two reasons: 1, the way studs work, the belt can't be so thick that the stud prongs can't make it to the flesh side and have enough sticking out to hammer down and secure them, and 2, the combined thickness of a thick belt and studs would mean you can't fit it under your belt loops.
