Fall/Winter Boot Recommendations
I'm looking to build out my current shoe rotation for this fall/winter season. Last year, I wore the same sneakers over and over again instead of my boots, and I want to change that. I'm also gettting into wider fitting pants/denim (planning to pick up some Oni 222s and giant fit chinos) and I want to balance that out with a chunkier boot silhouette. I've been looking at getting some Red Wing's because they are a bit more bulbous, but also Solovair has caught my eye. My style leans more americana/workwear. Here's my current shoe rotation, some of my favorite outfits from last season, some inspiration, and some boots I'm thinking about. What do you guys recommend?

Some inspiration and the boots I'm considering:
You’ll hate this but genuinely tylorean shoes
Like a paraboot?
I would love some, but they are pretty expensive.
I think like $250 is my max on a pair of shoes.
Yea
Gh bass and klemen make alternatives
1/3 of the ones on grailed have sold for under $260!
(Michaels)
good to know!
And like 2/3 of the ones on eBay
Yeah i was thinking about these from GH Bass, but I'd prefer a mid brown leather than suede:

Maybe it's my size, but they all seem to be closer to $400. I'll do some saved searches and see what pops up!
I think a black penny could be run in your wardrobe, but those aren’t boots.
I fw those brown solovairs heavy
you’ll never know if you don’t lowball
(Also make sure you know your Michaels size)
Namu shop is slinging kleman padror’s for $260 btw

What’s your (paraboot michael) size?
Hmm I don’t like the half suede thing
They’re cute and I think they’d work in your wardrobe
Oh
lol
I’m not crazy about the half suede either but I think he could rock it
The front contrasting upper is interesting
Oh yeah for sure
But you have to commit to it
Idk why but I'm kind of into it
Not sure on paraboot sizing, but I'm a 44
For sure!
I've had the GH Bass and the Kleman's and much prefer the Kleman's, fwiw
Klemans seem really good for the price
Gonna tag in boot god @Bud 🌞👀 [Eso] as well
Honestly red wings are so incredibly good for the price
I have no idea how they’ve kept prices so reasonable
Classic Moc | RedWing
The Classic Moc in Olive Mohave leather has the iconic Traction Tred outsole and unmistakable moc toe silhouette. Shop Now at Heritage. | Red Wing
And while you’re at it, order custom whites during the Black Friday sale and charge it to yourself next year when they get delivered
i think Danner Alpine boots are pretty cool, but in your price range you’d need to look secondhand. I see them on Ebay frequently for sub $250. as Bud said, i still like moc toe boots like Redwings too (i happen to have Danner ones tho)
Oh yeah, I have a pair of mountain lights, they’re awesome! I just don’t wear them as often. Need to change that this fall
Can't go wrong with a pair of blundstones
They’re basically my snow and hiking boots
My go-to boot for when I just need to throw something on quickly
Have u heard of our lord and savior Salomon
I got a used pair of yuketen moc toes for £180
Prison labour is my suspicion.
