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.

Have any of you gotten your woman hooked on nice men's boots? My wife has a hard time finding comfortable, high quality footwear, especially because she has wide feet and high insteps (she's between a men's D and E on brannock). I ordered her a pair of Alden Indy 405s because I think it would be cute to match my 403s. Looking for any insights on how to shop for men's shoes for her that she can style in a feminine way (aligning with her usual aesthetic)

Anyone drop the cash on a pair of Nick’s handmade boots? Wondering if $600 bucks is really worth it for a pair of boots that should last decades.

Anon10/20/26, 14:37No.18785185
I’m thinking of getting this as my first boot. Thoughts? I just want something I can dress up or down fairly easily and this seems to fit that description. I’m not interested in Chelsea boots and also not planning on doing any hiking or physical labor. Planning on wearing with jeans and wool trousers

Anyone owned the Whites Perry?
I had a pair of RW Moc Toes but they just weren't a good fit for my foot. Too wide but too narrow in the toes. Simply not for me
How do the Perrys fit? Are they narrow in the toes? Sizing the same as the MP?

Can we talk workboots, lads? I need a pair of CSA-approved that are actually comfy. I was gonna buy Blundstones but apparently they're made in China now. Cost doesn't matter because my dickhead employers will pay for them. Bonus points if they look good too.

Dumbass shit. I have Whites, Redwings, and a number of other brands, and I still wear my docs more than any of them lol.

Fell for the Solovair meme. My gibsons look wrinkled after two wears and the left one has a fuck ugly stray fibre right on the crease while my colleague's 1461's look almost impeccable. At least I'm getting a free replacement pair.

Is it really that bad if I only have one pair? It's not like I walk in heavy rain for hours every day.

hey guys. do you know how sizing compares on Carolina vs Nick's boots? my Carolina loggers just gave up the ghost& I'm planning on getting a pair of Nick's hot shots. the Carolinas are about perfectly sized with enough room for thick socks but not too big. I figure for the nicks I should get half a size down but thought I'd ask here in case anyone has any experience. thank you :)

What do you use to clean boots when they're somewhat dirty but not so dirty that saddle soap is overkill?
