Footwear to go with our jackets

[Jin431]

Very comfortable. Yeah just western. But you can spec a round toe, low block roper heel or any heel really, any height, no scallop and have a non western looking boot like an engineer sans straps

and in horween horse for like 375 bucks made in el paso tx

Got it, you can spec it how you want it to look and that's pretty cool. That's a very reasonable price for something with that much leather. I'll look them up

Nice boots! What do you think of those Red Wings Sawmill boots?

An additional remark after some weeks of use. Vibram soles are quiet and comfortable but wear down like a cheap eraser.

Benzein service boots in Maryam Toscanello horse rump.

I had those exact model Chippewas. As far as Chippewas go a great pair. Definitely the pair to own if one desires Chippewas. You can find them come up from time to time for very affordable prices.

Best part about these is that there's no crazy high-end, top-shelf horse **** tea core whatever version of 'em! Well, yet.

My day to day boots, made by Buffalo.

Look like they do the job just fine comfortable and cool looking

When I was reorganising a wardrobe, I found these sneakers that I had bought when I was more fashion oriented. Keep in mind that these are fashion sneakers, so they are nowhere near as well made as what is commonly shown here.

Yep, you could call them grizzly sneakers
If memory serves, this is horse or pony hair, and in keeping with the spirit of this thread, here goes

We never thought about it but it is possible to match a grizzly with your shoes

Damn this Thedi is nice. What type of leather did he use, hand dyed goatskin? I love those red / burgundy color undertones.

As is usual with him, I told him what I wanted to do, ie. this jacket, and he showed me leather samples he thought would be perfect - I ordered this one during one of my visits in Thessaloniki.

The original hide was a shade of red with some variations, it went though his treatment and came out like this. I don't think he dyed it. The lining is some wool I sourced in Tokyo.

Tobacco Badalassi lace to toe/monkey boot from junkard company. Still needs lots of wear time to break it in but this leather is really beautiful.

Guilty as charged, but in my defense, I’m much more of a boot/shoe than leather jacket guy. From my last count I’ve got 5 boots in varying stages of production. Kind of embarrassing to admit. The sickness is real.

I think I'm still figuring it out in terms of which boots I really want to wear so I'm in a middle of a phase lol I have 3 right now (Truman java horse rump service boot, FP black horse **** monkey boot, benzein TdD 01 burgundy horse ****) and I'm sure I'll get a black engineer this year as well lol the sickness is real! I think I figured out what kind of leather jackets I really want so I should slow down ( sic hopefully) this year hahaha

I'm lucky today @Ayeteael im in talks with onderhoud to make me a black horse **** engineer boot lol he just random replied to my message from way back when and now here I am ordering another boot I probably won't wear enough haha

Congrats, man! He makes a fantastic engineer boot. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to who he responds to. It pays to be lucky!

Also, black is the way to go for that first engineer. That's what I'm doing. I ordered my FP engineers back in Sept and based on Peng's original estimates I was hoping to get them in February, but I've not heard anything from him so who knows where I'm at in his queue.

He sure does make a nice looking pair. So fortunate that he will agree to do a custom pair for me. I like his monkey boots as well but I already have that with FP so an engineer boot it is. I know the leather will be easy to wear too but I hope the last and size he recommends are a great fit on me.

I wanted to pick the brown Maryam horse **** but went with black instead for my first engineer boot just to see if I'll like wearing them. I hope you get it soon, he just posted a cool looking one on his Instagram story.

How did you pick out your boot size with FP and onderhoud?

That HWM looks great on you! Glad that trade worked out for both parties.

Love the chelseas! I think I should have picked unstructured toe box for mine but I still like how it turned out.

Thanks, man. For sizing, I sent them both measurements (length, ball, instep) and the sizing I take in different boots. I'm relying on their expertise and pray they both fit when they arrive.
