Shoes that look better with age...

[Iron Horse]

Seems like plain-toe six-inch laceups are the boots du jour; nice to see since if you look back at photos of farmers and other assorted workers of the early 1900s this was just about the most popular style.

how to order those wesco hh black boots?

[mpukas]

Wesco is at the top of my list for my next pair of high-end custom boots. IMO, they get fit, finish and style just a little better than the rest. It'll be a spendy boot, but worth it. 

Baker's has a Boss 7400 is stock right now. Great build and options, and a great price. A bit cheaper than if you spec'd this same boot directly from Wesco.

I'm watching a pair of Yuketen Angler Mocs in 9.5 (they're labeled Ranger Mocs but, judging from the detailing, they're the Angler Mocs) in eBay and am wondering about the sizing. I've done extensive research on Yuketen sizing heard that the Angler Mocs can be TTS, a half size down, a bit large, or anything in between. 

Thanks for any advice!

White's boots nomad black cxl. Had some nice light in the house this morning.

Here's some on feet pics of my Unmarked Workman boots.  Haven't worn these in a long time due to my White's taking top priority in wear.  Feels weird to go from a made for your foot boot to stock boot. Still look great, chromexcel breaks in nicely. Dog photobomb.

I've been wearing these around a bit...  probably time for a good cleaning.

Buttero sneakers.  You might see where my little dog got a hold of the back of one of the ankles.   :-)

Yeah he's sneaky and mischievous at times! The wife and I have thought about putting a camera in the house when we're away to catch him.

Rolling Dub Trios, at about 2 years. Resoled from the original triple thick neo-cork soles to these Vibrams about a year ago.  Very comfy!

Two year old WWII Impressions reproductions of USMC boondockers with corded soles. I've dubbed them a couple times for water/snow protection. So far so good.

Bought some White’s that after a couple wears I have deemed to be too big. 

Up for sale or trade for size 11.

Does anyone know how Wesco and red wing sizes compare to whites? I have size eleven Wesco Packers and 10.5 RW merchants. If these would work on my feet I'd cop them in a minute

Vintage na na works engineers... don't have any real info about them except that na na was a store in LA that was the first to import docs to the us.

[mlwdp]

Ehh no thanks.

[cheapmuthafukr]

Well... they've got to look betterm with age because they can't get any worse.

At the risk of turning this into an ugliest boots thread, I spotted these Clinch on a Japanese chap's instagram. I just hope it's removable. 

[itsbenhere]

Are you saying those clinch don't look good? Because they look amazing.

[Aries]

Yeah I'm a bit confused by that one unders, those boots look great.

I did something like this in grade school with a metallic sharpie. 

[unders]

Fair cop. Just me then. 

[Geeman]

I'm with you @unders Gold metallic boots, WTF? Something out of a glam rock tribute band.

[unders]

Ha! You're right, perhaps the Gary Glitter association doesn't have quite the same impact on our American friends as it does on us.

Check the date unders - April fool!

D'oh. Now I look daft in front of all my internet friends.

Merry Christmas from Wesco Boots Japan!

I feel like this is that whole “is the dress gold or black?” meme that happened in 2016.

Those boots just look to me like they are polished black engineer boots with a lot of artificial light shining down on them.

Here’s a pic of mine in less light.
