Show us your boots

[SimonQ.]

@injunjack:

Are those same as Mr G had coming? Look very similar.

I notice that upper buckle arrangement is made like in old german military boots. I like that.
how much are those? Web-link?

Nice boots indeed.

Yep, I guess Giles ordered the exact pair - this guy has taste
Just had a quick glance at the shop page and that pair isn´t listed any longer though I think it still can be ordered.  The price was somehow lower than 400€ I think, maybe 380€ with shipping or something.

@injunjack: tried that but it didn`t really work.after two days i got salt stains again.the best way to remove salt stains was cleaning them with milk.i ended up impregnating them with a spray and that did the trick… ::)

clean your leather with saddle soap then use some Obenauf’s preservative or similar - just be careful, saddle soap can rot stitching

these are not too dissimilar - simpler details, but lambskin lined

thanks geo,i will give it a try

[Geo]

no worries - just take it easy tho'

better to do things little by little when you apply preservatives, let it soak in

you can get good products from equestrian supply websites - it's one area where people still take real good care of leather and equipment

[SepticSef]

you just made a german look up the word "equestrian" 
excellent tip,thanks alot!

[Geo]

I had to look up the word too! 

does it translate as Reitsport?

All,

which one do u think better,

Wolverine - 1000 Mile Boot - Brown - http://www.cloggs.co.uk/invt/80752501/

OR

Red Wing 9013 - http://www.classicredwingshoes.co.uk/products/9013

OR

Alden Indy Boot http://www.aldenshop.com/DrawOneShoe.asp?CategoryID=145

???

I'm a lil bit confused choosing between all of those three….

[Beatle]

I vote Alden…but seriously - you will get a lot of Wolverine and Red Wing votes as well.. all 3 really great boots

Wolverine = perfect all rounder , I personally don't dig the heels
Red Wings = perfect work boot, fair price
Alden = perfect classic boot, Harrison Ford knew how to use them

[jacoavlu]

+1 Alden Indy

All great boots but the Alden is on another level.

[Geo]

good call on Beats part - but it's a little bit of comparing apples and oranges

The 1000 milers have been recently revamped and are using Horween leathers, they're not really roughneck boots but will last and are kinda dressy in a bygone days way

RW are more like workboots (although the style you chose isn't unlike the wolverines) - leather quality isn't as fine as the other two but usually is pretty good at taking punishment

Aldens are probably the class act- but you'll pay a bit more.  I find them less work-like and more dressy but as Beats said they're good enough for deserts, jungles and all sorts of terrain with Dr Jones!

Nothing to be confused about - pick the one you like!
