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

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.

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...

hahaha well i got some money to spend last time so i guess why dont i spend on a boot... then got sale... bought another one of similar brand....

both of the boots are awesome and needs minimal TLC

My boots collection

the dark brown and the orange one is viberg, while the most right is redwing

Yeap but takes time to break in.

not really thick actually. the red wing sock is not as thick as u think but it helps from blister on the back of the foot and u need to get used to the ankle restriction since its a bit high and the thick leather will give u hard time and it will take sometime till the leather fully break in and for u to get used with the height of the boot. after u achieved all that yeah its a fun boot to wear.

i think timberland boots sells around rm700++ to rm900++. Iron ranger sell around rm1080 at Red Wing store at pertama complex if im not mistaken. or they did raised the price again... dunnue...

if want to buy cheap timberland... end year sale is the best bet.... i dont know about boots but most of my timberland i bought is less than rm400...

sole what mid valley got quite a range for RW. also u can go to pertama complex at the red wing boutique.

not sure bro. i went to mid valley last week and saw loads of RW models over there.... if im not mistaken i also saw RW backman which is quite nice too... and so does the price.

this is red wing beckman

Well i dont blame him though. I also dont like chelsea boots and love more classic and rugged looking boots such as iron ranger, viberg 310 last, chippewas, whites semi dress...

Oh i also like monkey boots like lonewolf linesman. Looks very rugged indeed

Below rm500 huh? If u like u can google for indonesian made boots like sagara. I guess u can get at that price

Ah thats when u are wrong. The quality is great despite made in indonesia. The material is usually top quality and the artisans are very good.
Got a friend of mine custom made a sagara (horse butt leather) and lets just say he got it for a very-very cheap price.

Ah i see. Sagara now made a name of themselve and decided to up the price. Last time u can get it around rm300-500 and for MTO around rm 500-800 tops. Well its too bad then

2013-2014 before they went international (got recogition from SF, stylesforum etc.) u know the drill anyways. After that lah. My friend MTO around 2013 and only got his boots half a year later.

if im not mistaken last year they did a sample sale which around rm300 - rm500 for a boot and shoes.

well i did ask my friend how much he did the MTO and he said less than rm1k.... well actually i know how much the price but really its the cheapest MTO ive heard....

so im going with my friends word and also what i had look on their website last 2 years... or last year...
