I am looking for a pair of leather boots that would last a long time.

It can be dressy or casual. But most important is the comfort once broken in.

Ohya, any tips on how to get more comfortable wearing leather boots? Do you guys put baby powder inside to prevent sweating too much?

Clarks desert boot

Budget?
Long lasting would be viberg if u have unlimited budget. Take the shell cordovan one. That leather should last quite a while, and u can resole the boots too.

Exotic ones and got unlimited budget? Go for white kloud.

Oh, i seldom have sweat when wearing leather boots. All i wear is wool socks and change them everyday

I dont really fancy them. Any others?

not really unlimited budget. something that is bang for your buck?

wool socks in malaysia? not hot enough if you just wear the leather boots?

something bang for your buck? well redwing is one....

if u willing to spend a bit higher u can go for whites, chippewa, nicks...

whites got nice semi dress boots.

or try trickers. old company with good track records.

if u willing to try indonesian made and cheap but good quality... try sagara....

the boots im recommended is from the guys that i know wearing the said boots themselves. if u ask me. i only have 3 pairs of boots so if u wanna know about it, i only can comment it

yeah, red wing wool socks is kindda good, not giving me the sweaty feet provided u change the sock every single day.

how is redwing after breaking in? I own a pair of timberlands myself. but looking more towards a dressy boots.

which pair of redwings you have? Iron ranger seems gooding

im familiar with timberland but not the boots the shoes and i think i got like a couple pairs of them, eventhou the leather still good but the sole wears out easily. If im not mistaken timberland is as comfortable when u wear it and to break in is kindda not hard and not time consuming..

its kindda tough actually to break a red wing... i own an iron ranger and i kindda need sometimes to break and adjust to it. its my ride boots now... i cant afford to wreck my other two boots.... its too dear to me...

I cannot stand breakin process, I always put in orthodontic insoles and they always certainly make them feel better.

Dress boots I like quick lace. Custom made go with indo recommendation.

Redwing iron ranger etc hard to find good deals around.

Or you can hunt down AE.

wah... the leather on red wings are so tough and hard? hmmm GG... thinking about iron ranger but from your experience it doesnt seem to be comfortable to wear.

you have 2 more boots that are more expensive than your iron ranger? that you couldnt afford to damage them?

I guess you save your haircut money to buy those boots LOL

all these are removeable insoles?

you own a pair of 1ks?

Not trying to be funny, but are the Caterpillar boots ok?

I own a cheap wolverine 1883 made in Portugal for usd$12 on sale. No removal insole.

Not removal just size up to add, if u interested do some research. The joy is in the hunting don't want to rob u off the fun

I already have timberland chukka boots... so I am not looking for something that is similar to that.

so cheap? USD 12? thats a steal...

so buy chelseas.

not a fan of chelsey. most probably a dressy-ier kind of boots since my timberlands is more towards casual workboots.
