Willing to do secondhand or is new required
i prefer new... dont want to wear someone elses stinky shoes
Hmm ok, I will say boots are very solid secondhand value falls off hard and leather doesn’t really wear much. But ok I’ll think
That’s a moc toe boot, you will find lots of variations on the silhouette and the sole but that might be useful as you look around
look around sierra.com and see if anything fits
maybe it's worth getting a pair of these too... but unnecessary probably
I can just wear the same shoes all the time idc
I don't really like these but they seem to be a staple
If you don’t like them don’t buy them
I don’t like them either
true
100 is gonna limit you to hunting for deep sales if you want something solid in this style
what are your recommendations
you could maybe find some red wing moc toe factory seconds used
oh you didn't want used
i still think that should be considered
You need to buy used.
The moment you buy them, they’re no longer someone else’s stinky shoes. They’re your stinky shoes. And if you take care of them they won’t be stinky anymore. They’ll just be your shoes.
okay, so what used shoes should I get?

There’s a million brown boots out there big dog, it’ll be significantly easier for us to help you if you provide pics of what you like
Don’t worry about how much they cost, just find your ideal brown boot and drop them here
the original pic in the thread is the style I want, but they don't fit me
I think looking for red wing moc toes used will work
where should I go? eBay?
Yeah
eBay or whatever resell sites make sense in your region
And just be patient and I’m sure a pair will pop up
Especially if you’re searching for “factory seconds”
i found some leather ones that I like, but I wasn't really looking for leather
well specifically I don't want shiny ones
??? The one you posted to start the thread are leather
^
Nothing you posted is shiny
If you want super matte look for suede or rough out
the ones I posted first are like, matte
yeah
is there a name for this style of boots? when I search, the results keep coming up with chukkas and other random stuff
These are no more shiny than the ones you posted, it’s just lighting
The first and third are moc toes
Second idk the specific style name
Cap toe? Correct me if I’m wrong
Cap toe work boot?
Second is a service boot/work boot with a cap toe
These about a million variations on that kinda style
🤔
Might be worth searching for nubuck as the material, if you want a matte finish but don't want suede
Maybe a pair of Blundstones if you can find them in budget on eBay
Blundstones a very good shout
okay he's banned now
Did our boy Wallace fly too close to the sun w/ the ugly shoes?
