Shoes that look better with age...

[Broark]

Okay I was hoping he wasn’t serious. 

[unders]

It’s working though. I just ordered a Callaway cap and a pair of vintage Red or Dead boots. 

[Duodequinquagesimus]

Hey lads, I’m trying my best. I’m new to this. I found the Fronkonsteen type that seems to fit in here. Let me know if this should be deleted and sorry for the misunderstanding.

anyway, found these Miu Miu dark green from 2002

[Geeman]

He did say he bought/wore shoes to provoke a response and obviously fully committed! 

[Duodequinquagesimus]

Not really. I realised some people paid attention and some laughed lbut just of the toeless ones

btw I’ve seen much worse in here

These look uncannily like those Rolling Dub Trio shoes that others have posted.

Preorder ends on Monday.  Waxed flesh.

This is the blog that started it all for me.  It introduced me to White’s, Wesco, Red Wing, etc.  

Anyone remember this blog?  Doesn’t update as much anymore.

@julian-wolf need more info bud. Square toe? Regular toe? Exotic leather? Etc

Either square or round toe, but not pointed; standard leather; possibly some adornments on the shaft, but otherwise looking at pretty plain makeups. Would likely prefer a leather sole, so that may end up being a limiting factor.

Really liking the look of the RDT Pecos, and also liking what I'm seeing from Lucchese and Rios of Mercedes. Thanks, all, for the recommendations—I've got some reading to do.

edit: I also think I'll prefer a heel on the lower end, maybe 1" to 1 1/4". Liked the aesthetic & construction of the Whites linked above, but I'm already tall enough as it is.

@dudewuttheheckWhat’s your choice of footwear/engineer when the weather is crap?

My Wesco or Lofgren engineers. Sometimes my Role Clubs. I mostly just wear leathers I don't care about in bad weather... so my CXL boots get worn at that time.

Nick's has released a new boot, called Officer. I like it. A lot. 

[mlwdp]

I wish Nick’s didn’t get rid of the Horsehide option on customs, mostly for Roberts.

What’s your rationale behind that Jake?

It's basically that I just don't like chromexcel very much. I think it's a pretty boring and dull leather so I don't mind putting it in harms way more. Similar with the waxed flesh. I like my Wescos, but I wish I had chosen a different leather. Plus, waxed flesh is pretty tough and looks good beaten up anyway so that's my go to boot for any rare manual labor I do.

I just now started wearing my Horsehide in the rain and I have a incoming Horsehide boss that will probably get the crap beat out of.  Anything I should do with my boot regarding care?

My choice was not about horsehide vs. cowhide. It was about cxl. My Lofgrens are cxl cowhide and my Role Clubs are cxl horshide. I have no issue beating up either.

I clean my boots with a horsehair brush and use saphir renovator on most of my boots and I've used Smith's leather balm on my Lofgrens and liked that too. You can add something more heavy duty like Obenauf's if you think you need it, but that's probably not needed in most cases. If they get really dirty, you should clean them with some saddle soap. I've done that when necessary too.

I'm sure others on here have slightly or completely boot care routines which work as well. I've been pretty casual with my boot care, but I'm thinking of adding some polish to the routine for some of my boots.
