Footwear to go with our jackets

[red devil]

Nice - is that a goodyear welt?

Yes, ordered them from Brass Tokyo. Mainly for jeans

I'ii start work on a thread about Star Gove / Cal Leather The Star Glove is the heaviest richest horse I ever felt. I had a straight zip Star Glove that I sold, the leather was even heavier but had issues at the shoulders, flaking. The jacket I posted here is in pristine condition. Think of something Cal Leather might have made for a special VIP customer

Very nice. One of the reasons I stopped wearing trainers long ago was their disposability (especially compared to a decent pair of Goodyear brogues at the same price). Something resole-able like this would be very tempting for the Summer, however...

I like the George Cox / Lewis Leathers Summer collab shoes.

They are comfortable and feel like they will last for a long time. I initially wanted it to be all leather, but they convinced to go for canvas and leather as it would be better for hot weather.

Nice - and less scarily priced than I'd have assumed. I'm considering some of these from =Jhonsopn, myself:

Though I can't imagine I'd be wearing a leather jacket if it were hot enough for these!

Standard & Strange Wesco axe breakers, around a year of wear.

Those look fabulous man!
I’ve got a pair myself but they have not gotten enough wear yet to look like that, now I know what I have to look forward to.

Wow! Those look incredible. The Axe Breakers are on my list for sure!

I picked up a pair of PF flyers. Black sandlot high tops. Such a nice change from my boots. Very breathable and comfy right out of the box. Been wearing them on my motorcycle too.

 

[El Marro]

You won’t be disappointed Dave! I can say for sure that they are the most expensive pair of shoes or boots I have ever purchased, but I did not experience a moment of buyers remorse since I bought them.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Standard and Strange does pretty great Wesco collaborations. The Axe Breakers look awesome. I'm pretty happy with my Knuckle Draggers. Solid for the price. Not the neatest, but should last a long time.

How are these sized relative to the usual suspects (Redwing, Alden, etc.)? I usually wear 11D, but I’ve read that these run narrow and small.

Cheech,
Lengthwise I believe I went with my normal size which is 10 1/2. These boots do run a little narrower which is why Standard and Strange offer them in an E. I hope this helps.

 

[Arizor]

Yep. I wear 11D in Alden and I wear 11.5E (axebreakers) or 12D (engineers) in this last.

 

[Imuricecreamman]

Picked up a pair of these repro No name m-43 boots of ebay. Great boots for the price.

 

[dubpynchon]

I've just ordered two pairs of William Lennon boots, this might be a good time to order if you're thinking of doing so, the wait at the moment is twelve weeks so I imagine it'll be a lot longer in winter. Mine should be ready for when it's cold, lovely jubbly. William Lennon can use Horween for a small extra charge so I ordered one pair in black Horween and the other in the good old cordovan no 8. They’re basically like my jackets on my feet.

Jonbuilder i like your style. Super western boot collection, awesome MC jackets esp the Star, but the Dobbs Forty wins it for me!! If it’s a 71/8-1/4 and you ever want to pass it on, i’m game.
Thanks. Bowen

Actually, the Dobbs is size 7 3/8 loose fit I use a pad for my 22 3/4 long oval head. The only hat I shim.

Hoping someone can clear this up, i'm looking to get a new pair of boots and like the look of Chippewa Service boots. However I keep hearing these run big, up to a size bigger and have been recommended to get a full size smaller than my regular size. Im normally a 8.5 UK (9.5 US) but in some boots I can wear a small UK 9. I tend to do better in wide fitting boots and my best fit are 8.5H (Aus/UK) RM Williams boots. Anyone got any advice on Chippewa, particularly the service boots and a recommend on sizing?.
