Proper leather shoes

I ordered the darker pebbled leather as my housemate has the lighter plain leather version. Should be good for most conditions

I ordered some Red Wings from Surfdome.
Half price plus 20% off with code (save20), ended up paying just under £92 for Moc Toe 6".

Where? I can't see any Redwings on sale...

Still quite fancy a pair of Iron Rangers or Blacksmiths if the price is right...

Ah, I ordered them Wednesday night, guess the sale is over now.

Any ideas for a boot that I can do a lot of warm miles in, that don't look tosh? Something more like a hiking boot I guess, can't even think of any brands to look for

<£150 really

Timberlands?

They decent quality? not a huge budget I know but still

Recently picked up a pair of Yuketens, never thought I would do it but they were dead cheap. Basically these in blue suede, their Eric boot I think it's called:

Arrived home to a pair of Grenson Stanley's today. First impression was that the tan is slightly lighter than I was hoping for but I'm already coming round to it. A lot less uncomfortable than I was expecting straight out of the box as well.

rutland cycling have a sale on hiking boots and meindl are a good brand

I like the look of some of the danner bo0ts - any idea of their qulity?

Danner hunting/ranger boots are good quality, don't know about their urban offerings

Any leather that arrives a shade too light will quickly acquire a more satisfying tone with regular use.

How cheap is dead cheap? And from where? I think those are great. Yuketens have been on my radar for a while but I've always thought they're too spenny..

Which Loakes did you get?

I'm amazed at how good Saphir Renovator is by the way. For a neutral polish, it's absolutely great. No shine added, so it keeps matte leather looking great.

AltBerg make some very high quality boots.

Still LOL'ing at carshoes...

From the Superdenim sales store Marrkt. £125. Not sure they have any left though.

Grenson ellery. Thinking about these for work.

So rank with the brogued toe cap and the two fiddly little buckles. John Lobb does that style ten times better (at three times the price mind).

Yes. Dub monks are badass enough as it is, doesn't need any brougeing

Toecap works though

Would be a good shout here.

On a similar note I'm going to plump for a new pair (or two) or Meermins, so if anyone else fancied some the postage could be cheaper.
