The Real McCoy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I need a new pair of brown boots, so I'm looking around. No lie, I'm honestly tempted to buy these: http://www.bootbarn.com/Laredo-Men's-Snake-Print-Western-Boots/2011112,default,pd.html?dwvar_2011112_color=Tan%2fBrownJFC! These boots are soooo not cool, it's not funny. The snakeskin part looks so dated and the worst thing? It's fucking FAUX snakeskin! I can appreciate a pair of well crafted boots whether they're 'in' or not. The beauty lies in the workmanship and the highest quality materials and these look like rubbish to me. At least buy quality McCoy. Then it doesn't matter if they're not cool, at least they're beautifully made.http://www.bootbarn.com/Western-Boots/Western%20Boots,default,sc.html?prefn1=gender&prefv1=Men&srule=Price%20%28Low%20to%20High%29&start=0&sz=12Do any of those stand out to you?

Because...no. Unless you are riding a bronco or a bull that day, you don't belong in cowboy boots.You're wasting your time with this kid.Oh, the irony.

I'm ideally looking for something under $200.I actually like these ones:http://www.bootbarn.com/Laredo-Men%27s-Western-Cowboy-12%22-Western-Boots/1007081,default,pd.html?dwvar_1007081_color=Black%20CherryThe black cherry colour is lovely and they're genuine leather. I like the texture, the stitching and the colour toning. Edit: these are nice too. Great soles, good colour, and not overdone in the whole stitching bit. I definitely think you should look at that dark cherry colour. It will be different to the other pairs you already own. http://www.bootbarn.com/Chippewa-Men%27s-Arroyos-Wellington-Work-Boots/1013627,default,pd.html?dwvar_1013627_color=Briarhttp://www.soulrevolver.com/There's some fuckin' crackers here Yeah these jackets look fantastic. The quality of the leather looks amazing and the styles and cuts are really nice. I especially love this one, and the red detail on the inside of the zipper is great. Unfortunately the women's jackets they have on offer aren't anywhere near as interesting. Bin the pockety things on the breast and I'd buy that jacket this instant.So basically you just want a plain leather jacket? The pocket details on the chest are what make it. Personally I think plain jackets with no design details at all are ultra boring. The minimalist look isn't working for me at all nowadays.

Redhead74 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 McCoy these are nice too. http://www.bootbarn.com/Dingo-Men%27s-Trucker-12%22-Western-Boots/1006262,default,pd.html?dwvar_1006262_color=Black%20CherryThey're black cherry as well. The second pair above that I posted are actually a brown colour, not cherry, which I originally thought. They're really nice though, the leather quality looks really good and the less stitching is nice, kind of different to all the other boots out there. And what is with the foot being leather and not the shaft on a lot of these boots? I know it reduces the cost but that stuff irritates the shit out of me. I just like quality and always end up paying more for something that's beautifully made and will last. Especially something classic which you'll wear or use for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Now this is a fucking cool pair of bootsBeautiful, beautiful craftsmanship. The sole is where you really see the work (look at that stitching, and the stacked leather) and the shaping of the toe is divine. It's probably the first thing I look at on a pair of shoes/boots, the shape of the toe. If that's been fucked up I don't even bother with the rest of it. The next thing I do is smell the leather.

magisme Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 The next thing I do is smell the leather. One of my favorite parts of those boots is the tongue. It's this lovely thin leather strip that takes on the shape of your foot and the laces and the eyelets and the hooks, and every time you lace them up it gives off a deep, rich leather smell.

It's this lovely thin leather strip that takes on the shape of your foot and the laces and the eyelets and the hooks, and every time you lace them up it gives off a deep, rich leather smell.Mmmmm.......looooove that! I love it when a pair of boots moulds to the shape of your foot so that every time you slide your foot in it feels really comfortable and nestled. You know you can wear them for hours and hours without your feet getting sore and it's particularly noticeable when you change from a pair of ill fitting shoes into the good ones. That's what you pay the extra for. Cheap shoes/boots never do that properly. People think they're buying inferior quality from a visual perspective but to me it's more about every step being comfortable. For women's shoes I really love Salvatore Ferragamo. I have a few pairs now and one of them is 8 years old and still looks brand new despite the fact that I had to have the sole replaced about 3 years ago, I wore them so much. And they have moulded to my foot perfectly so that no other pair of shoes I've owned has ever felt as comfortable. Probably the best value shoes I've bought, at $650.

And where do you get off saying that city folk can't wear country attire, or mileys generation aren't allowed to wear brothel creepers? My favourite pair of boots are my Spanish equestrian riding boots, yet I don't own a horse. That's what's fantastic about fashion and the times we live in. We are free to wear what we like. In the 19th century no such thing was possible and go back to medieval times and no one except royalty was allowed certain colours! Fuck that! Never thought I'd say this Len but you're being a SNOB! A fashion snob! You usually have more liberality in your thinking than this. And those Farmer Giles boots are fucking beautifully made boots!
