Shoes that look better with age...

[SLAB]

dividing up this thread to actual shoes/boots that look better with age and 'look what boots i bought today' will not actually improve the quality of this thread.

this is without a doubt my favorite thread on sufu (together with Warehouse and workshirts threads) and I feel the knowlegde and expertise will significantly disperse and decrease if we would divide up the topics. Show what u bought and show what you rocked; its all good imo.

^^ agree!!! It's easy to keep scrolling if you aren't interested in what someone posted.

Narrative

Edit: For further background, I work in an Electronics Engineering environment, supplying military and civil aviation contractors. We have a full engineering plant on site, although I work in the more delicate field of micro electronics.

Makes me wanna put my boots on here =) You guys have never seen a shine.

[fre-co]

Unfortunately not Tiro, where I work my feet aren't in enough danger to warrant a steel toe.

Why not just wear your semi-dress?

[Megatron1505]

Because I don't want to, is that ok with you Fresco?

Edit: That sounds a little harsh, I apologise, just bothers me having my motives questions by people who I have never met. The actual reason is that the Whites have a single leather sole, and company rules stipulate that we must have a none slip sole.

Got my wolverines back from minas shoe repair (and my OSBMS), i really like the work he did.

Haha I wish I read that before the edit. That shit is hilarious.

Thoughts on this NexusVII x White's collab?:

http://hypebeast.com/2011/09/nexusvii-x-white%E2%80%99s-boots/

I hate this!

What does NexusVII brings into this "collab"?

I know: its that special guy with the plyers that tacks the metal tags onto the custom semi-dress boots ordered at Bakers'...

Well worth the $900 markup...

and the pairs i wore at work today:

switched to the 9011 after halftime

Wesco has a pair of factory second Packers that are kind of interesting (brown with black captoes) - but they're 13EEEE. I normally wear a 13EE - so far as I can tell, the difference there isn't huge - about a tenth of an inch in width, maybe?

Think I could get away with the extra width, given a pair of thick socks or insole?

Do you also change your underwear @ work, Markus?

[robbie]

Markus are these boots display only, or are any of them for sale?

Good catch!! He looks pretty good otherwise. Clearly lost significant amount of weight.

nice pair man..love boots

when last time you oiled it? it seems dry..

[kiya]

Jonah Hill came into SESF yesterday and was wearing those exact boots.

Just cleaned & shined my chestnut RMW Craftsman in yearling. I don't wear them much during the heat of summer but they are now ready for the cooler months. They came out looking pretty well, IMO.

I purchased these (and a black pair) ~2.5 yrs ago from Barry at bootsonline.com. Great service from Barry and RMW offers a great value in a whole cut, handcrafted dress boot.

[Happy Hooligan]

Just picked these up... way to small for me but so cool. Size 5 D... anyone wear that size? My guess is 1920's - 1930's...

[fre-co]

I have no idea who Jonah Hill is but if he posted that fit on Sufu, he would end up in worst....

[Maynard Friedman]

My eyes!

phew...

Amazing shine!

Excuse the bad gash on the toe. I do wear these M-F since december.

Bates 922 with full color reflection in the shine and hardly any visible pores (I get too bored to finish them sometimes). Enjoy.

Thanks. Soon enough I'll fix them and they won't have that gash. Until then, I think they're doing fine.

He's the fat dude in the middle.... maybe recognize this easier.
