japanese workboots saved my dick

[Hella Hyphy]

though i'd take heBAY's idea and run with it... so here's a thread for the discussion of all workwear style boots so we don't clutter the High Fashion Mountaineering Boots thread.

There's posters on here that know a great deal more about then i do so please impart your wisdom

DISCUSS

you should use the search button noob

you should use the search button noob

listen here

i'm fully aware of that thread's existence

but i consider it akin to the Evolution of Jeans thread in the sense that its less about the where, when, why and how of purchasing/finding/etc the shoes and more about their appearance with age

this is more of a supershopper thread and less of a superdenim thread if you see what i'm getting at

furthermore,

I was jockin buddy

They look 10x better

this wasn't a bad idea for a thread, but it sucks to have the word "dick" in the title. i have little interest in clicking on threads where i have to read "dick" every time. especially if it refers to someone else's dick. it conjures unpleasant visuals and shit.

[Curious_George]

I don't find them all that much better looking, plus they're like 2x the cost and are not usually available in sizes larger than 9.5. As a size 11.5 I'll stick with American work boots.

Just got a pair of Red Wing 81318 DK:

I'm pretty satisfied with them, but they're width D, where I think I was measured as an E. There is some minor discomfort but I think it's just cause I'm not used to wearing boots. I'm kind of paranoid that they look too narrow though....

I got them as a gift though so I can't complain too much.

Also subscribed and I prefer having dick in thread titles to not having it.

yeah in retrospect it wasn't such a great idea

i just ctrl+c'd the title from the mountaineering thread where heBAY suggested it

gonna see if i can get it changed

[Chris-Craft]

my next boot purchase will probably be some black rw gentlemen travelers.

[geekbonchic]

Gentlemen travelers = sexy man.

[superBobo]

Anyone know where I can find Red Wing 866 Pecos in an EE width or wider? Please advice, I need them in my life.

I have been involved in Sugar Cane's planned expansion in North America, and I assure you that Lone Wolf Boots will be available up to a US 12 very soon. I am waiting on my black Engineer Cat Paw's in a US 12 to wear during market week as we speak.

maybe you should try an extra insole before buying a smaller one
