IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION

@october-rust dig your Docs, which model are those? Chelseas? I just bought a pair of teal Oxfords but damn they gave me a blister just walking one of my dogs around the neighborhood! Did you (or anyone else into Docs) have that problem? I'm thinking it might be bc the Oxfords are low cut like shoes?

lordy, I'm only 1cup of tea deep and there are already some serious fits today (I'm writing this in my 70 sweatpants + 1610 T feeling pretty feeling cozy, no shame (well maybe a little bit of shame haha!)

@Inorganic turns out I like wearing dead things….
-
@Mizmazzle guess I’m gonna need some Vibergs now.

yes my friend they look like 2976, chelsea boots, I have collected Doc , Solovair and Gripfast from the end of the eighties until now (every now and then I wear a pair, it reminds me of my adolescence
). Unfortunately they must be uncomfortable and hurt until they break (now a little less so since they shipped the bulk of the oriduction to Asia), classic Smoth leather needs a good re-tooling and causes blisters and pain . -
@Oaktavia @Luijim78 is exactly right, they’re the 2796 Vintage Chelsea’s! Partially got these because the break in is a lot easier, no discomfort on my heel at all. I absolutely love Docs but the break in is brutal. I’ve also really wanted a pair of the Oxfords but don’t want to go through the process of breaking in another pair hah
-
@october-rust hah nice I figured as much. I have been eyeing down the Oxfords so that I could wear a semi-smart shoe out to dates with my wife. When I saw the teal was on sale for $55 off, I couldn't resist. My wife on the other hands laughed (unsurprisingly) at the turquoise/teal colorway. I guess I'll just keep wearing them to break 'em.
@Luijim78 they remind me of my youth as well. I was happy to see some on here. I'll do my best to break in these teal Oxfords. I imagine they will look pretty awesome when they are broken in with patina (smooth leather). I think they would look great with shorts too. Thanks for the info my friend.

Thanks @Tago-Mago I’m basically walking around like this every day atm. Promised to myself to have a more colorful wardrobe and this is what happens haha.
Sharp look with the PR @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot
@Mizmazzle yay, the Vibergs! Love it.

@Cutlasshound strong look right there. What boots are you wearing? Difficult to tell from the photo
-
@Mizmazzle a bit of xhsbb envy goin on, gotta love those 9oz flannels too
-
@WhiskeySandwich I love the 9oz flannels. Wish they would expand on them more like they do the UHFs. Such a versatile weight.
XHS is where it’s at! -
@den1mhead

It’s a nostalgia thing for me as well! Both of my parents wore nothing but Docs as I was growing up. My dad would buy them when he went to London in the 80’s because there were only a couple of places stateside that sold them(I think just in NYC and LA). I’ll join you on the oxfords soon enough!
