Show us your boots

[Megatron1505]

I was going to take some pictures of the jackets too, lots of military repro looking stuff, flying jackets, plaid cruisers etc…

Some of the stuff looked quite cool, but when you actually touched them they felt so cheap. I doubt they would have lasted a month.

@Seul:

You've all seen mine… After having applied Obenauf's:

Well well then!..

[Finn666]

i somehow do love these…would be even cooler without the straps though

[Seul]

Would be a lot fecking easier to put them on as well… But seeing as how there's no vis on the straps as I wear them, I don't mind...

well why dont you just bring them to a leathermaker? he can easily remove/cut the strap-part and re-sew the rest so that youll have the exact same boot but with a few inches less in hight…

I guess I should post these here too:

Are those Thorogood's on the right?

[corporalclegg]

Indeed they are

Asking for a friend: does anyone have any experience with Frye boots?..

[seawolf]

I have some experience with Frye boots. I had a pair that were really poorly constructed, and were falling apart after just a few wears. My wife had a pair with a shaft adjustment strap that snapped in half one day. It was two pieces of cheap leather sewn together. Not what I would expect from $400 boots. No thank you.  I'll take my money and invest in some Wesco's any day before I ever spend another dollar on Frye.

I have some old school made in USA frye boots, they are tough as nails despite the leather having some holes from dropping the bike when I was still learning.

Tried a pair of the more recent ones on and they just felt bad.

[Megatron1505]

This year I chose as my "shittiest weather/ deep snow/ harsh conditions" walking boots a pair of deep tread, waterproof, cap toed Israeli special forces boots (they cost me £1 from ebay). In a few minutes I will attempt to walk 2.5 miles to work in them, walk around at work all day in them, then walk home. I expect to be crying by the time I get home, but this is the best way that I have found to break in new boots

they are so lightweight….

Abingtons from MadMonday

[Megatron1505]

IJ, those Abingtons are amazing. They're still the most comfortable boot that I own.

[Finn666]

No I dont wear boots in JA, or pants for that matter! I rediscovered cowboy boots about a year or so ago and it combines well with my IH mania…
