High Fashion Mountaineering Boots...

[hollowsleather]

After looking through this whole thread, I still think I like the look of Danner Light II best.

Anyone have a bunch of miles on these?

Yuketen boots due in at Oipolloi taken from their Facebook

Any idea (besides Oi Polloi and japanese sites) where to get the Lace to Toe Boots in Brown? Ive emailed them and no response thus far... from the contact info they are based out of CA kinda lame that they are carried only abroad( correct me if im wrong).

[knucks]

I got a pair of sweet Georgia Boots that are lace to toe...

They're a little small on me, anyone interested?

[linkejeuk]

what's the size on those georgia boots?

MonjuSiFURY×ANOUTCOMMUNE Mountain Boots

Looks really nice. Only 3 sizes, all probably too small for most of us.

SiFURY's a/w lookbook is pretty sick too imo- http://sifury.com/style/2008ss/

$185 on urbanoutfitters.com... would consider if they didnt have two colored laces...

[Dead_Wizard]

I'm pretty sure they're just laced two tone, but come with single color.

[GLUTENfree]

Been wanting some Russell Chukkas like these...

went thrifting last night and found these...

Vasque Eagle Wood -

They have the same Vibram sole as the Russells I was looking at and they fit perfect.

$6.00

[grilled cheese]

wow. great freaking find. better than the russell's in my opinion.

[seafinch]

thanks... I really like them. Really comfortable, really nice quality. Does anyone know much about them? I've seen some vasque hiking boots but never anything quite like these.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Damn.

Those vasques are sick.

A find-and-a-half for sure! Never seen or heard of them either.

Nom de Guerre Russell Moccasin Safari Boots, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

How does those fit as opposed to let's say Common Projects where I fit a 41, or Air Jordan 1's, where I fit a 9?

I think if you read the thread this has been answered a few times

30 pages though fam, damn... I mean a simple quick correct response to my question would have worked a little better.

Don't know how you guys feel about Timbs, since RedWings and RussMocs seem to lead the way on Sufu, but these seem to bridge the functionality and classic style pretty well.

Does anyone know where Timbs are made (I'd be thoroughly surprised if it weren't made with cheapo junk in China)?

[Funk_Switch]

All of these are killing me. These especially.

I have these boots and have to say I love them. Not sure if they're SUFU cool either, but I just needed some winter boots and they're perfect for that.

I can check later where they're made if you need me to.

I'd like to nip this one in the bud, for the sake of not letting this thread degenerate the way so many great threads do.

It's not that those boots aren't SUFU cool - which is such a fucking lame thing to say - it's that they are cheap and ugly as all get out. On top of that, brands like Timbo aren't getting much love here because they simple don't compare to the brands like Russell Moccasin. Same reason Kenneth Cole isn't really a focus of the "shoes with age thread."

I'm sorry, but they are garbage. You should be embarrassed for wearing them. Not much more needs to be said. I just want to be sure that we maintain the level of this thread.

[superBobo]

sorry to be that guy Gnar,but I really like these Timbs, and think they are pretty thread appropriate

Really wouldnt mind having them.

Oh great. Thanks a lot, Bobo. Now we are going to get on the Timberland train. What's next? Uggs?

These are pretty sweet too, huh?

Alls I'm saying is, if this is where we are headed, I'm out.

And, if it's gotta be Timbs, just give me some 6" nubuck joints and call it a day.

[superBobo]

^^ you dont see the resemblence between those I posted and some of the Russel joints? Clean moc style chukka, with a classic lug sole, whats wrong...

I mean... just to compare the pictures with a similar RM style. The hardware looks cheap and gaudy. The stiching looks shoddy. The branding is heinous. I'm really not feeling the boat shoe/moc boot styling. I'll venture that the materials are crap and the construction is not even close to what you'd find with RM, or any other handmade boot for that matter. They look to me like a pair of boots that would last you a year, not forever.

I should add, in general, the look of that boot isn't the worst thing I've ever seen. But when it comes down to actually spending money and wearing something like that...

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Is not the Timberland EU product supposed to be several notches above the more pedestrian variety that we all know and avoid? Maybe it isn't a EU thing but they have a more robocoppable tier that perhaps is maybe a little more sufu-friendly than the tan nubuck jesuses (ubiquitous like him, i mean).

[dunkin deeznuts]

bobo, i have to side with docgnar on this one...are all boots that look the same the same quality? will they last and wear as long down the road? i have to bet that a pair of russ mocs is going to wear better and last longer than a pair of timberlands. maybe we are all just getting sold a bill of goods but i dont think so.

plus anyone that comes on sufu has to realize alot of people on this site are about going for products that are better made (and pricier) and therefore there probably are some brands that are "Sufu Approved" even if you think thats just "hot garbage"

its similar argument with jeans, most people cant tell the difference between gap and jap jeans....but does that mean there isnt a difference in quality and construction?

[concealed]

Not any Timberlands in here..this is the only pair I have ever bought and the quality seems good and they are aging quite nicely. Is there something about Timberland I don't know as far as quality? Also, where can those McCoys be purchased in the states?

gotta cop me them pink topped timbos ya dig?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

in all fairness to the bobo

those timbo boots are not bad cheaper alternatives to russ moc

sufu-ers like quality but we also like cheap shit

economic crisis status

[knucks]

Someone cop my Georgia or LL Bean boots. I want some Mocs

[sarcasticone]

while these aren't mountaineering boots AT ALL i'm still on the hunt for these becuase they're fucking dope as fuck and suit the aesthetic, if not the rigorous specifications

Uncle Otis in yorkville sell these. I'm guessing you already tried the Lacoste store on Bloor.

[superBobo]

Im not saying that the Timbs are equal to hand made Russels at 3 times the price, but I got a pair of the low version of those chukka mocs myself, and imo the leather used is great, aswell as construction. I can easily imagine the Timbs going strong for years.
