Footwear to go with our jackets

[Jin431]

Has anyone heard of the brand cydwoq?
Actually, the boots are not beautiful, but still I think they are kind of cool.

I don't think it's a well thought out design and rough around the edges is a bit of a stretch here

Huh! I don't dislike any of this. I'm not sure I'd wear 'em, mainly because they're all flat and I can't wear heel-less footwear anymore but I have appreciation for what I'm seeing there on the site.

Which yet again reminds me; Seriously, why ain't we talking about Kreosote boots here?

Those boots look so mean! Gotta look them up

***They are not cheap! 26 months and counting wait time lol

I don't like boots with laces but for Kreosote's I'd make an exception. Never did handle a pair sadly, as with so many US made things, but from what I'm seeing (and reading online), can't see how I coulda end up disappointed. But they sure do cost a lot. Still, if there's one item of clothing worth the $, it's gotta be boots. More so than the leather jackets, I think.

You're right, this is a mean looking boot!

This can’t be topped! Loool I sure had a good laugh!

Real expensive for sure and the wait list is not for everyone. I'm thinking for the price alone one can add some extra dough and get one of those acclaimed clinch engineer or jodhpurs boots

26 month wait... that's nothing. Lol

Sun-tanning the back of my ELS Church, so I brought out the rest of my natural veg-tan squad for color comparisons. The Clark's Desert Boots in veg-tan are one of my favorites with or without the jacket. The belt is a homemade project that I was pretty happy with.

I gotta admit that I’m not that taken with Kreosote. That said, I am watching the development of their Engineer boot with interest.

Anybody else waiting for these to drop?

Those are gorgeous. Lofgren are gym shoe comfortable right out of the box.

Good to hear … I got in on pre order and started researching and hearing about people struggling with fit particularly getting them on in off etc … fingers crossed

 

[Bfd70]

Thats 100% dependent on foot volume. I need to put insoles in mine to have them snug enough on the instep. Others need to break them in with the plastic bag trick. Totally user dependent.

Also what do you guys think with this colourway -Grigio - and wearing black leather jacket

 

[moktabe]

Already have a pair of these in Marron (Brown to me) but ordered a pair in black.

Trickers Burford Plain Derby Boot....ironic as I live in Derby!

I’ve been a fan of RMW Chelsea boots for many years and have probably owned a dozen pairs. Mostly the dressier Craftsman for the office, but also Lachlan and Gardeners, etc for a more casual boot - food for travel and walking in the city. It’s nice to find a last that really fits your foot.

Anyway, I usually get them resoled as original but have been thinking about trying something different and maybe a little crazy: a thicker leather midsole and Vibram 705 with a stacked packer/western type heel.
