Footwear to go with our jackets

[Tom71]

Oh no! I'd missed that entirely. Gutted. I have more than enough black and brown boots, but a pair of these cordovan ones have been on my list for the last three or four years, and now they're out of my size. :'-( If only I'd known....

Hopefully they will find someone else can produce them. I remember Aero did a run of boots made by William Lennon before these. There will hopefully be somebody in Northampton can take them on again.

The Jarrow boots have a delightful simplicity to their design. Look great with everything from casual up to a lounge suit, in a pich. I do actually have a pair of the Town Boots in brown, which are also wonderful. A tiny touch 'fancier', but not so much as to make them look out of place with denim should the occasion call for it.

Just to pick that up: Aero have just posted that they received their “last restock” of the Jarrow and Town boots in black.

I just can't justify another pair of black boots, but anyone wanting some should jump on these! Fingers crossed for a new supplier for Aero and the return of the oxbloods....

Can't go wrong with bounty hunters, I love them with any jacket

I have to admit not giving as much attention to my footwear as I have done for jackets so far, so now I am thinking to remedy this but... I am lacking in ideas.

Technically, we can wear almost any shoes or boots with our jackets as they are in general versatile. But ideally, we would want something as nice as the jackets we spend so much on. So here goes:

- Engineer boots: this is probably the quintessential boot to go with the jackets we wear.
- Work boots: another favourite
- Dress boots: wearing these takes the outfit in another direction, I personally like the look of Jodhpur boots.
- Dress shoes: getting more formal
- Sneakers: certainly not ideal but so damn convenient

So in my case, I have a pair of chippewa engineers but don't wear them that often. It's not a practical shoe to travel with as I always need a boot jack to take them off. How do you guys manage these?
I am thinking it might be interesting to get Lewis Leathers motorcycle boots with zippers such as the westway boots: http://www.lewisleathers.com/productinfo.html?code=boo-w10
Are these comfortable to walk with as well as riding?

No experience with work boots, should probably try something

Dress boots, I have a pair of Jodhpur boots that I like and wear more often then the chippewas but they can sometimes look a bit too dressy (dress shoes even more so). And they are not supposed to be worn everyday in any case.

Sneakers, I am guilty of wearing them much more often than I should. It's just very practical. But I would like to find an alternative.

I know this has probably been discussed many times, but I would be curious to take a fresh new look into this. So please share your experiences and your ideas

Cowboy boots.

Love those. Tried them out when I bought my 10875s, but they did not have my size in stock. leather was both robust/sturdy and also a little supple/soft which was great.

What are your observations compared to your other RW moc toes if you do not mind sharing?

I fully agree with your observation.
I was actually going to buy the Moc 8833 Hawthorne Abilene, but since I've had my eye on the 8138 for a while, I wanted to at least try it on.
And then they were clearly softer than the others and since I didn't have any brown Moc Toe yet, I changed my mind without further ado. I also think the colour is great because it goes with a lot of things.
However, my 875s are already soft and in fact I hardly notice any difference when wearing my three pairs.
I just like the Moc Toes. Bad for the Iron Rangers. lol

Cowboy boots.

Yes, indeed. Since I posted these questions, I discovered the world of cowboy boots

I'll tell you what......between that jacket and those boots, you've got some serious style. I love it.

Who knew Viberg made dress shoes? Not me until I saw these. I didn't have a decent pair of dress shoes and I have a friend's wedding coming up. *Disclaimer* I do not know formal wear style and I was going to buy a pair of Carmina Oxford's but Viberg had their annual sale and I couldn't resist.

From Viberg:
The Bastion Oxford is an archival pattern created by Edwin Viberg dating back to 1960. It is slightly more formal than the Derby or Rockland Blucher because it features a closed lacing system in which the quarters, the side tabs where the shoelace eyelets are punctured, are sewn under the vamp. We have updated the original style by tightly trimming the waist with a round blade, allowing it to contour to the shape of the last.

I wore them for a day out and about and to dinner and they are surprisingly comfortable, Viberg work well for my feet, atleast the few I've tried. The leather is their Regency Calf which is more supple than I expected, nothing like my boots in CXL, Shell, Horsebutt. The leather has highs and lows, I'm not sure if it's an applied finish or patina but I do also see strange marks like they could be branding or scars, gives it character. Stitching is really tight, super fine and close, completely different than my Viberg boots. They probably look clunker than typical oxford's especially given the rubber ridgeway sole but I won't wear them to anything really formal and it makes them easy to pair with jeans so I will get more use out of them.
