Footwear to go with our jackets

[RossRYoung]

About to depart on my first trip abroad, Spain & UK, where I’ll finally be breaking in 2 deadstock items (jacket was worn but basically as new). Can’t wait to put miles on both, HH Buco and Endicott Johnson cap toes.

Picked up some new trumans. Still not sure how I like their last compared to some other faves but giving them another shot

I like the blue especially. What hide is it?

Thank you! It is navy blue Shinki horsehide.

Nice boots. I like grained leather like that. Don't see it so often these days, but I always found it easier to break in, and never seemed to be prone to cracking with time across the top of the toes the way some smooth leathers can.

Thank you! It is navy blue Shinki horsehide.

Ah, Shinki! Looks very similar to the blue Vicenza. Got my eye on a blue jacket eventually....

spotted these for sale, somehow loving the two tone.

probably wont buy as I never have luck with engineer boots. I just like the feeling of snugly laced boots. and without facings or other details, I feel like they're sometimes boring to look at on your feet.

It is nice hide - I really like it. I wear the blue most of any jacket...it is not the usual, but it is surprisingly easy to wear with many different outfits and footwear choices.

Those look worth taking a risk, if the price it right!

Sure hope these fit you! They were just a little off for me!

Out of sight. Game over combo. Friend, please take the time if to lubricate all the hardware on the jacket. The pencil approach is the best with your jacket. If you already did a good lubrication? Please slowly work the teeth and sliders and pulls slowly so that the graphite can work its way in.

Looks like the guy just painted 'em white by hand.

Anyone have Astorflex shoes?

I've just received my new aubergine-colored boots by arch support project Hongkong. Rock Yeh (shoemaker originally from Taiwan) used to make handsewn boots for Feit NY. He cooperates now with Samuel Hsin (one of the founders of MotivMfg and owner of Radiance Blue stores in China). They've created a boot made of aubergine-colored heavy, thick yet soft and pliable hide with the rough side out. He used Norwegian stitching. The main "USP" IMO is the special inner foot/arch of the foot design which makes it even more comfortable to wear. It's one of the most comfy boots I've ever owned and craftmanship and materials used are IMO top notch. The boots are quite massive/heavy/sturdy and perfect Fall/Winter boots.

Oh! Congrats!

Something else, entirely!

I saw them on the "Kentaurus" Insta and also the price. I was very intrigued, but I don´t quite like the colour and also the rather intricate contrast stitching. All and all, I wasn´t convinced about the aging potential when exposed to rough weathers.

Really interested in some action-shots and also in the evolution a few months in.

These look verinteresting

These look very interesting! Curious to hear your thoughts after you have used them for a while

These attractions are pretty comfortable. The shaft is too wide and they teacore too quickly. Besides that they are quite nice.

I've been wearing my custom shop Jim Green Vellies just about every day for going on 3 months now and couldn't be happier with them.
They're very comfortable, and the leather looks quite a bit better than they did when new.

They're just my casual everyday shoes so I don't abuse them, but they're also not babied like they were some premium dress shoes.
There have been times where I went out into my workshop and forgot to switch into my beater rough out Vellies and they've come out just fine.

These have shown that you don't have to settle for some low quality disposable sneakers or buy some high end heritage leather sneakers form goral or crown...etc, they perfectly bridge the gap between boots and sneakers.
