High Fashion Mountaineering Boots...

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i know right? i put the black bluchers in my cart a dozen times and then hem and hawed about paying the $5 extra bucks over quoddy's price

oh well

[shoreman1782]

i hate to part with them but i gotta think about buying cribs and shit.

Wait, denimcreateslife? or as in mtvcribs?

Also, Kirsten at Quoddy hooked me up, so the 5-month "will I buy ring boots" saga has a happy ending.

Anyone know where to pick up laces like these?

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

A decent mountaineering shop or cobbler should gave a good selection of such laces.

A variety of laces can be found here as well:

Thanks RBW. I'll take a look around here...

I like that they resemble climbing rope so much.

ahh, the white mountaineering stuff looks so nice. it's such a pain to be confronted with these brands that are so unattainable.

[SelfEXplanatory]

Visvim Serra 2nd gen. Alpine by Fragment

feel the same about nonnative. is a vest, jacket, pants and boot, to much to ask for stateside? sheesh!

[broneck]

okay, i know this is gonna catch some hate, but go to www.lacoste.com

and check under mens club footwear

there's a pair of booties up there i'm considering buying, pretty awesome for the price

theyre called the granite

.. Not really, they're pretty ok, but I think they prolly leave a giant alligator in the snow every time you take a step, not down.. then again, walking in snow would be pretty hazardous in them anyway

Somebody cop some stockists. I tried and I think I found a few places that were carrying it but they were stores in blog format so at that point I get lost.

Two things,

Can anyone show fit pics of the Russell Safari boots (or the NDGxRussell shit...you know...with jeans and proportion and what not)? Haven't seen one yet menothinks.

Secondly,

Not so much boots but in the same aesthetic/ outdoor style. Lots of info about vintage mountaineering/backpacking labels and some interesting pictures too.

Doctorgnar (or was it RBW?) posted a waywt with the NDGxRussell and Bill posted one with the Russell PH 2s I think. Actually I can't remember if Bill did a waywt or just a Stronghold post on them... PM him and I bet he'd take a pic for you.

Also I believe a couple of the dudes from Context post here, username is Sam something. PM him or just email context and they'll most likely be able to give you info on those boots, they are helpful guys.

Look like McIntosh Birdshooters (http://www.russellmoccasin.com/boots_birdshooters/bs_mcintosh.html) with some kind of lugged sole. I dunno.

[heBAY]

I actually contacted the Context guys about it. They are the Russell Moc "Judy Boots"...killer.

Limmer Boots - The great Daiki Suzuki brought these to my attention in his recent feature on GQ's website about his "10 Essentials"...

http://men.style.com/fashion/10_essentials/091508

Made in the U.S.A. (New Hampshire)...they seem to have a grand old reputation with backpackers and whoever else alike.

That being said, from those pics, I don't think they look bad at all (except the bottom "ultra-lights"...the sole paired with the boot's silohuette reminds me of some Mountain Gears...insulting, I know)...kinda like some Vasque Sundowners with a bit more "mountaineering" added to the program (and sole). The "light-weights" (3rd) are appealing IMO due to the less-bulkified sole.

Not as headspinning as the Russell Safaris, but I can definitely see why a Japanese American Workwear/Mountaineering fanatic such as Mr. Suzuki would dig 'em.

First Limmer boots are fucking classic. I repeat classic. There is to be 0/none/zilch shit talking about those in this thread. The rest are whatever. The last is hideous. Good looks on the info Bay, I'm on my way to New Hampshire.

[heBAY]

Hahaha word...the price tag doesn't hurt the nuts neither...you ain't the only one with a New Hampshire bus ticket (in your case, road map).

[denimdestroyedmylife]

there was a pair of black limmer standards in my size on the bay a month ago but i passed, they don't pop on there much

they are probably too much boot for my life, even the mids are perhaps too hardcore for me

it'd be like commuting to my job in a sherman tank

limmer is mentioned a few times early in this thread

[heBAY]

Thanks. Yes, I know the merrells have a good price, but I have heard stories about the glue dissolving and the soles coming off way to easy. The Alico's have a very good price though, they can be found for around 150 dollars I think on sierra trading post.

A lot of these boots are being made with vibram soles or other adaptations ,mostly for the japanese market, as well.

Bumping this bit back from the past. I'm kinda diggin' these:
