Show us your boots

[riffblaster general]

my timberland chelsea boots are getting pretty worn out and im sorta looking for a new chelsea boot.  i had blundstones forever but they arent waterproof.  i'm looking for a waterproof chelsea boot with a somewhat aggressive tread.  any suggestions?

[Geo]

didn't the elastic side gusset leak a bit on your timberlands RB?

think that would normally be the problem area . . .

anyway this type of thing?

i didnt  have problems with leaking because i never really submerged them completely.  its more just a day to day sorta boot for me.

basically i just wish blundstones were waterproof haha.

i've eyed those rm williams boots before but i want something that i dont care about absolutely destroying.

[Geo]

totally see where you're coming from - blundstones are pretty good tho'

need to think about this a bit

My favorite among my Aldens is the LeatherSoul Jumper Cordovan Boots.

I was about to throw these Loakes away, the soles and heels had worn out and they're not of sufficient quality to have rebuilt. As a last minute reprieve I've had these logger soles stuck on to turn them in to a country shoe. I'm not sure whether it works or not?

Good for rainy days, this Frankenstein!..

I think would look a lot better if you stained the welt and heel leather….........

Never had much of a problem with Blunnies leaking, at least no more than any other normal leather boot.  Regular polish or treatment with some kind of beeswax proofing and mine are great in the wet. I like the 550's though, they have a less absorbent finish.

Looking for something like this:

These are Buzz Rickson's, WWII '43 US army repros. If anyone can link me to other brands who make a boot like this…

Seul - the viberg service boot at four horseman is a similar pattern but in black

or Trickers x Nonnative

or these at a lower price point?

i have been wearing red wing - iron ranger with red wing heat mold able insole. it's freaking awesome.

highly recommended for an affordable and extremely durable pair of kick ass boots.

Seul-
Might want to look at the WWI replica army boot from William Lennon:

Very similar in style and pretty solidly made.

they're actually not a bad looking boot RG - plus a great price point thinking on how they are about to be abused!
