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?

QUOTE(g3n0c|d3 @ Nov 24 2015, 11:58 PM) 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. not really unlimited budget. something that is bang for your buck?

QUOTE(g3n0c|d3 @ Nov 25 2015, 01:14 AM) 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... 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 This post has been edited by BacktoBasics: Nov 25 2015, 09:04 AM

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Nov 25 2015, 08:09 AM) 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. http://www.shoebank.com/FactorySecondInven...&DIM=D&SIZE=100Or try wolverine 1000 mile http://www.sierratradingpost.com/wolverine...-prod-prod9721ROr new brands - smaller brands http://thursdayboots.com/collections/bootshttps://www.bostonbootco.comhttp://kendalhyde.comall these are removeable insoles? you own a pair of 1ks?

QUOTE(Everdying @ Nov 25 2015, 09:44 AM) not a fan of chelsey. most probably a dressy-ier kind of boots since my timberlands is more towards casual workboots. This post has been edited by BacktoBasics: Nov 25 2015, 09:50 AM

QUOTE(Everdying @ Nov 25 2015, 09:52 AM) cowboy boots with wingtip like design  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « lol no thanks bro. not my style. after some forum members recommended me like red wings and I found wolverine 1k also. Now still thinking of the pros and cons about them. If anyone owns both or either one of the pairs. then maybe can give me some advise on which is better for comfort.
