ok but what about

Hottest Desserts

These boots were made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do.

One of these days, these boots are gonna creme pate a choux

Saw a youtube short the other day about the differences between legit air Jordans and a pair of $40 knockoffs from some different factory in China, and they were listing things like how the netting is horizontal instead of 45°, and the little inch tall cartoon of a guy has the wrong number of fingers, and ended the video saying something like "so yeah, it's really not worth it to buy cheap knockoffs, you should really spend the extra money to get the real thing"

I wear 6e wide shoes. It kind of infuriates me that people spend more than I spend on shoes, not to have nice shoes to wear, but just to have them. I gotta grind my $130 boots to dust every 6 months, and these mfs are spending that much just to show them off. I hate sneakerheads dude it's such a stupid hobby

Not with a Dr.Martens boot, that is more a fashion icon than a daily boot properly

Oh what a timing! I actually just got my new pair fitted last week.

Over 10 years ago I got myself some Magnum desert ranger boots (y'know, back when they were still decent), and I finally had to change them this year. The leather was still... alright but everything else was breaking apart bad, so I figured I'd finally replace them.

But like! Magnum is a shit brand now, and all the competitors available here aren't much better, and the only real options for boots in that style are just, super expensive, so at this point I just went to a cobbler to simply remake the same shoes but with better materials and nice colors.

I think they turned out great!

hate it when someone walks over my hottest desserts :(

Both are fine by me ngl. Neither of these shoes are designer btw.

Nike is not a designer brand, and something like "creasing" is only an issue if you're a sneakerhead.

hottest desserts

Ah yes, me walking over a plain of creme brulee

Shoes on the left will be 3x more expensive and will give your legs blisters.

Please: maintain your boots. Every couple of months, just ten minutes to brush and roughly polish them will keep them going for years and years.

I got these USMC boots for $30 at a gun show in the early aughts. They might have been cheap knock-offs of cheap knock-offs. But they felt like a dream and I could wear them all day and walk for miles without a complaint.

And when I walked them apart eight years later, I couldn't find a similar pair that felt right.

Curiously, my buddy got a pair (different style) from the same vendor at the same show, and her soles fell apart in six months. It's like I got Aladdin's Lamp of military boots.

What's the best boots for men? Looking for a pair I can keep forever and have repaired as needed.

Modern boots actually really suck for the most part compared to old boots that were made to be repaired and last.

Nowadays they fake leather boots and shoes with tons of foam and plastic, the soles aren't even really threaded: it's glued in place. The top thread is fake. You can't get a good pair of leather shoes for less than $600 anymore, last time I had a cheap usable pair was before Rockport was bought out and converted.

modern shoes in general absolutely suck, i've got a pair of wildling boots which are effectively thick wool socks with rubber outsoles and i just can't go back now, it's so much more comfortable.

not to mention that the shoes are so flexible that i can roll them up and stuff them in a bag if needed.

I recently bought some Red Wing safety boots and my GOD are they comfortable. Mom calls them "Shit-Kickers" and I will happily wear them in any weather for many years

Rule?
