30's~40's Work Boots

The Chippewas have a very prominent logo on the uppers.

Not the ones in the link. Or do I get the wrong one? But the other ones on the page have it. Yes.

 

[Rudie]

Oh, you mean those. I didn't click the link.

I'm leaning toward the Chippewas. But then the suggestion for the Red Wings came up on the site while I was perusing. The bump toe is usually more appealing to me, but the Chippewas look more authentically vintage to my eye.

Handmade Maremmano Upland Rough Boots

Does anyone know of this maker?
Handmade Italian hunting boots.
They also do some lovely dressier shoes.

No idea what they are, but the Sierra Trading Post has them on special right now. (EU sizes 43 to 46.)

This could just be my own experience but with my vibram soled boot is that were really slippery on sidewalks/streets with a sheet of ice or frozen snow on them. Far more than ordinary rubber soled shoes.

I was wondering if anyone here has found a sturdy golden era styled boot? I'm looking for a low (6 inch ankle) lace up type. It can't have any modern looking parts, i.e. logos,velcro,etc. I like the look of the Alden 405 (the Indy boot) but it is a bit expensive at almost $300. I may yet get a pair but would like to look at some alternatives. Thanks. Best regards, Sefton

Interesting to see how much these have gone up in price since the original post, and adopted by J Crew for its hipster look.

These seem to be "work" enough for me....however, I may be placing them on the Lounge classifieds...perhaps?????

I have another more "dress" boots on their way, but they are heading to a member already if he wants them, or he may even wants these???? LOL! I do think these are some really serious work boots.....

Good stuff Ed. Regardless of what you think about Julian's labor choices, you cannot argue that this is not a fine boot

 

[jimmer_5]

Not to derail this thread, but what is the issue with Julian's labor choices? I have been very impressed with his work, even if his RRL engineer boots are difficult to put on and take off

 

[Pinesiw]

I like these what are they?
