/btg/ BOOT GENERAL - SHRUNKEN CALF EDITION
What do I need to care for my boots?
>Old cotton t shirt (one for cleaning, another for applying conditioners)
>Horsehair brush ($10-15)
>Wooden shoe trees ($10-15)
>Light conditioner like Lexol/Bick4/renovateur
>Heavy conditioner (if you live in terrible snow/rain areas) Sno seal/Obernauf LP
>Don't forget that boots need time to dry properly, rotate them and rest them
How do I deal with x stain?
>mud: allow it to dry then brush off
>salt: water and cloth as soon as possible
>saturated wet: allow the boot to dry for a full day, stuff with newspaper
>scuffs and scratches: buff vigorously with horsehair brush
>Should I buy turdsdays/soloshits/doc shitans?
No they are filled with synthetic materials aimed at instant comfort but will not hold up to actual use.
>b-b-but muh ecelebs on youtube said they're good
no. you will waste your time and money and still have uncomfortable footwear at the end of the day. spend the extra $100 and get something real.
>Are Thursdays any good?
no.

Any thoughts on the Wolverine 1000 miles? My other boots are a Jim Green Numzaan and Razorback, looking for something a bit more plain. I haven't heard anything that jumps out as being bad about Wolverine. The sale price brings them down to just about what I'm willing to stomach. I'm a size 8 in the JGs, and according to the size chart on Wolverine's website I'll be a 7 for them.

Rose Anshill x White's boots are done, will post pictures when I get them. I intend to use them while riding horses, so hopefully they're good. I'll be looking forward to seeing how the absurd arch feels for me since I already have an abnormally high arch.

Hopefully they'll fit. Not really much sizing info about them online so I just bought the same as my UK sizing.

Thoughts on Caswell boots? They're doing a run of feral hog leather in collab with Stridewise. The idea of using pests appeals to me but idk about the company/their products. Not keen on spending 450 on crappy boots.

602 was a jank last but it looked much better than the 602m because of the way the wide ball tapered into the toe
602m is more livable but the same size in 602 looked nicer if a bit tight on the toes onj certain days

I'm totally new to boots (besides whatever USAF issues)
Looking for something comfy and more resilient and weather proofed than my vans or running shows to walk around cities and urban areas, especially now that winter has arrived.
I have a pretty wide foot, so I was looking at Danner offerings (logger 917 gtx) but also saw some Florsheim boots on sale (chalet). Curious what /btg/ thinks.

Bought some second hand Viberg derbies for myself as a christmas present. Is it normal for them to have welt sanded up until the stitching peeks through the side? They cant have been resoled because these things are not even broken in.

Grabbed a pair of the whiskey naked kudu on the 2030. My two other brown pairs are both veg tan so they've become office queens but the kudu is the perfect casual wear I've been looking for.

I bought a pair of the lightbrown legendflex from Italy just a week before Huckberry restocked those and I like the dark brown better. I feel kinda jipped but they really are fantastic. Very comfy, perfectly fit for my feet.
