Show us your boots

[xallanx]

Thanks Hectic. I checked out the MF boots on Sunday at the store in LA. They are alright but I think the pricetag is a bit steep. I've been thinking about getting the 1000mile boot as an everyday boot, but I think I want something a bit more rugged for motorcycling.

Sorry, I'm a not a biker xallanx so not really my bag, someone else will no doubt be able to comment usefully.

Good luck man

[shoque]

are the alden indys suitable for rough winters?

[Beatle]

ur talking 20 foot of snow, right ?

Than I would recommend something along the lines of Kamik or Sorel..
the Aldens work in the city, though- as long as they clean the sidewalks

Right now Bing Cashback is giving 40% off of endless.com … which means you have to wait 60 days to get your money back but it works. I ordered a pair of RW Gentlemen Travelers FINALLY... i prob would have ordered a ton of other stuff considering the discount but i'm trying to cut down my spending at the moment heh

@hectic:

These are supposed to be good too: http://www.wolverine.com/us/1000mile/

Reviving an old thread here.

I've been reading some good things about Wolverines, I really like the look of the 1000 mile originals in cordovan. Hectic, did you get a pair in the end, I can't seem to find a UK retailer?

[Giles]

Simon.  I will be in LA in 3 weeks.  I can give you a shipping address and bring them back for you…G

[Simon]

Cheers G. thats a real generous offer, just need to look at the finances now!

[Giles]

You know it makes sense…...Beats is over early Nov, fancy a beer/curry?

[Simon]

Beats, bear & curry, Yes!!      on the boots it depends on when the 55 cut drops, the white chambray + I'm currently specing up a pair of OOE's, its all juggling.

[Giles]

55 not for ages.  Bloody slow retailer….............

[Beatle]

Simon - see you soon - and you know what I was just thinking - the 634sr are almost a 55 cut ..should work fine with heavy boots…

[Simon]

You know what Beats I was thinking the same thing + I've wanted a pair of SR's from first seeing them. Thing is I'm only going to get one or the other (at least for now), after seeing that 18oz denim, I really need some, I'm not sure what to do  :-\

NB. sorry if this is off topic, please feel free to move.

I'm going to read back through this thread to see if there are any but I'm looking for some brogue boot suggestions.  Something like the Grenson Sharp (which I may go with once I figure out sizing).  Most of the Tricker's I've seen are triple soled which is a bit much for me but I haven't seen them all.  I keep an eye Leather Soul HI but they don't have anything right now and I'm going to search around some more but if anyone has a quick suggestion it'd be appreciated.

[Seul]

I can only account for Grenson making very high quality gear - at least the pair I have. After almost 2 years they still look like new…

[nameness]

Thanks, Seul.  I snagged a pair of Sharps, looking forward to getting 'em…

I've had a pair of Grenson Bleasdale's (the non-brogues) for nearly ten years, had them re-soled by Genson twice and still love wearing them.  Easily the best boots I've ever bought.

Having said that, I love Blundstone boots for everyday wear.  I've just bought new pair of 550's and they're just as good as the first pair, despite now being made in Thailand (which was a real blow to find out, but I'm addicted to them).
