help me decide on a pair of boots
hey guys, im trying to decide on what boots to wear, i was thinking of the nike manoa or columbia newton ridge as theyre cheap but i also kinda wants timbs, i dont have a specific budget but i wouldnt like to spend more than i would on a pair of timbs, i also really like danner boots which are way too expensive.
basically, what boot would u guys reccomend for something that is gonna be good for the wintertime (i live in nj) but is also good for streetstyle and wearing to school or in certain outfits? and i want something in brown too. no secondhand. thanks

Post some pictures of stuff you wear
is it fine if i just say?
like the types of clothes
hmm keen boots look nice
but for clothes i have a bomber jacket, some hoodies, tees, a few casual button up shirts, sweatpants, jeans, cargos, trackpants
so basically streetwear

Answers are only as good as the questions asked!
Picture is worth 1000 words
Doesn’t have to be pictures of you
oh alright
some stuff i own or ordered
Okay now a couple outfit pictures would be good
To see what kind of cuts you wear
bru
without that tho what would u reccomend
You have to do the work if you want good answers man
im 6ft like 190lbs if that helps
Or just get timberlands
Just go on Pinterest and search street style and find some pictures that are your vibe
i dont have any pics of me
Or even scroll through IG or #waywt and see if you see anything that aligns
ill do that
i mean the other boots im considering are nowhere near as common as timbs so itll mostly be timbs
They don’t have to be pictures of people in timbs or even boots, moreso whatever style you’re going for
he’s not being a hardass fwiw there’s just a lot of different ways these clothes can be worn and that would effect what kind of shoe is recced
You’ve mentioned timbs like 8 times, what’s stopping you from timbs

price, weight, how basic they are lol
What is your budget? You mention not wanting secondhand and if Timbs at retail are more than you want to pay, that will limit recommendations
your height and weight have no bearing on the boots you can wear
the thing is im not an adult and my mom is willing to buy me boots but ill feel guilty if i make her spend that much on a pair but idk and she doesnt want me buying secondhand, i told her about timbs i would rprobably have to try them on first
i dont think i would want to spend more than 200 usd
just get timberlands tbh
Been years since I bought Timbs but pretty sure you can still get the 6” premiums for under $200
198
i was pretty set on the nike manoa but idk what happened im just skeptical on them
These
i feel like these and similar shoes would be really goofy compared to timbs
not sure
they give me a tactical larper vibe tbh
I like timbs most with wide/baggy stuff and the streetwear/y2k style items you posted often fit that way, but can’t tell how the product pictures you shared fit on you
ok
i really like these but theyre even more than timbs lmfao
and idk if they go with what i wear
anything similar to these but cheaper?
There’s a bunch of different boots in that video, which ones specifically?
the danner are the nicest, eddie bauer are the cheapest but even then they are still prolly too much
Secondhand is a great way to save on cost, otherwise I have seen that pair of Eddie Bauer go on discount as cheap as half off, but at the end of the winter/going into springtime
damn alright
what do u guys think of these for $80? i might just go for timbs but ig this is the closest i can get to the danners without spending more than timbs yk
Personally think the laces are doing a lot to make these look similar to the danners. Otherwise they are just modern hiking boots
Yea
It's mostly the laces
If you need the boots for this coming fall/winter then I would probably go with the timberlands. If you can wait I would save if you can and get something like danners later on
you can probably find some secondhand danners on ebay for a decent price in the US but if your parents don't want to buy you secondhand then you're kinda stuck with what they are willing to buy for you
I'll see if I could get the timbs and I guess once I need new boots I can get the danner type boots (maybe secondhand with my own money yk)
Blundstones might work for you as well
Which specifically
Also are timbs not too heavy for like school or just casual wear? Cuz that's probably how I'm gonna wear them most the time
If you can't go second hand, I think you have two options:
- look for a deal on Eddie Bauer boots around $200 that match the Danner style. I think Allen Edmonds also has a factory seconds page where they might have a hiking style boots
- just get timbs. They're a classic at this point and it wouldn't be hard to add pieces to your wardrobe that go with them if you need to (but the pics of the clothes you posted seem like they would work well enough)
Any really, take your pick of which style takes your fancy https://www.instagram.com/p/C9g5qkNtIIV/?igsh=MWszbmtwMGM3YTBrMQ==

I only like combat/hiking boots
Another option is to check out Doc Martens then I guess
the classic in black or brown might work
I haven't heard great stuff about docs but maybe
I would probably put them on the same level as timberlands
I would say you want to try them on in person to make sure you get the right size though
Yeah I will probably try on timbs before I buy
Is there typically a black Friday sale?

i honestly think i should just go for these tbh. they look similar enough to timbs at least at first glance i feel, have the price, probably still decent enough for the winter, later on ill consider getting something like timbs or those danners i like but i feel like these would be fine
these are the sneakers i have rn btw
if you can hold out until black friday, i'm betting timbs or danner will be on sale and worth the investment over the nikes
but it's your call*
how much do they usually cost for black friday
i don't have specifics, but I wouldn't be shocked to see 20-40% off somewhere like Huckberry or Backcountry or Hatchet
ill try to go to the mall and try on timbs soon cfuz i heard they have weird sizing
yea, 100% try in person first if you can
if your mall has an Eddie Bauer store, you can look at these as well, I know folks love them too
but if theres no good deal i might fall back onto the nike
no they do not
k-6
yeah those are nice
but
these are $110
whicj
these are like 230
what site
oh
shit they are
gotta get them soon lol
ty so much iwouldnt have checked
do they run true to size?
yea, believe so. it's a $7 return if you need to exchange, so you could get two and send one back, but all the reviews seems to say tts -- i don't own them so i can't say personally
ok i just ordered them @ClassClown tysm
got in brown
