Cold Weather Shoes / Boots

[af1snaikboi]

I've searched for a thread but have not come upon any posts.

Moving from CA to NY I'm tired of having frozen feet. I'm looking to pick up a pair of shoes / boots that can be versatile and durable enough for the winter.

I'd like to spend 150 or less if possible

Could anyone pass on some reccomendations??

Thanks

I've found these pair of red wings quite nice but am unable to find them anywhere.

Desert Boot Oro-iginal if I recall correctly

or just "Desert Boot"

Anyone have experience with the heat tech socks? How warm/how thick are they?

[M4TM]

i think it's the redwing desert boot - i've got a pair in roughout....

[Aurelius]

I was looking at the ronnie fieg x polo ranger boots and the greys are nice. Personally, i think burgundy gives you a better range of clothes you could wear it with, but i cant stop looking at the greys.

they're all sold out on davidz though, from my understanding it was a limited run that won't be coming back, can somebody confirm?

[willy cheesesteak]

i was thinking about getting some sorel's but when i saw them in real life, they were just way too big for my taste(nh). those boots make combat boots & redwings look puny. they were like tanks for your feet.

great, thanks.

If i wear a size 11 in vans authentic slip ons, but a 9.5 in converse chuck taylors, when I consider buying boots like RW or the Ralph Lauren Rangers, should I go with a size 9.5 or 10?

Well this is completely irrelevant to sizing but honestly i'd stay away from the Ralph Laurens, there nice ....however they are getting raped its a very big thing over here a lot of people are wearing them i recommend the chukkas there sick and you would be one of the many few wearing them.

Size true for the chukkas, if they're too big you can put in an insole and wear a wool sock. If anything I'd say get a 10.5.

And the Red Wing wool socks are very nice. I've worn wool socks for about 4 years and the RWs for about 4 months. I was working outside in 10-30˚ temps with my 877s or steel toed RWs and my feet were nice and warm. A little loftier than Smartwool light hikers and more comfortable than Fox River.

I find red wing sizing enourmous. I wear a 42/uk8/us9 normally, but in redwings it's more like a uk6.5/us7.5, and I still have room to bulk out with two pairs of socks. This is true for both pairs I own, the crepe soled moc toe boots and the high top moccasin hunting boots.

See, I have Gentleman travelers and Iron rangers, true to size with an insole, and 877s and 875s without an insole, all fit great.

Guess you'd just have to try them on if possible.

I dont see them in cali often, cuz our weather usually isn't cold enough.

I was making reference to New York since you said you were moving there.

On a side note anybody have a good review of Clark Desert Lynx Boots? Can they survive a winter?

[sawyer]

i had a pair of really generic black leather kenneth cole boots they held up for a few winters... waterproof, had some small lugs on the sole. decent for the price

you must've mistaken me for another person, because I wasn't the one saying I'd move to NY

haha oh yeah most definetly i thought you were the chukka dude sorry about that

[jack napier]

how do RW's work on snow and ice?

specifically the 875s...

i've never bought anything with crepe soles, so i have no idea how they perform under winter circumstances...

[herpsky]

If you are a super peasant and cant afford to take a trip to a store that sells "cool" red wings, your best bet is zappos.

Crepe soles = what you find on clarks.

Those white soles on RWs are called aomething else.

I just bought a pair of beckman / gt but am too afraid to wear them in the snow. Too nice...

[jack napier]

yeah, i don't really care what they're called.

wedge soles, crepe soles, etc., etc.

i mean the white things.

i've been away from my metropolitan home for a while (where the stores are...), and i'm sitting here in the countryside bugging over boots with nothing to do...

please, appease my minor neuroses...
