Anything similar to Wings + Horns service boots?

surplus army boots would be a cheap and fitting alternative?

Great boot.

They're made buy a Canadian company called Dayton for Wings + Horns. I have a couple pairs of Daytons, but they don't look like the pair above. Wow, $720.00 is steep, but I can tell you the quality/build of my Daytons is pure craftsmanship.

Barney's co-op has a pair that's similar, although I'm not sure about the consitency or texture...definitely worth taking a look at, especially because they're probably on sale now

Officine Creative laceup workboots That grainy leather on the W+H boots looks shitty, IMO.

first thought that came to my mind: Surplus Army Boots. Cost: probably around $50

They def look military ish but I haven't found any similar.

Brown ones are nice.

I wish I could justify the sticker price.... the brown ones look really good.

What army surplus carriers carry a boot like that online?

They don't. These are nothing like any surplus boot. If anyone can find I pair, I'll rescind my statement. Otherwise, my statement is this: You people are idiots.

these 2 frye models look to be decent cost-effective alternatives: http://fryeboots.com/subpages/catalo...n=2@goToPage=5 http://fryeboots.com/subpages/catalo...n=2@goToPage=5

Don't know about the Owens, but much the Sid boots are made in Mexico instead of good ol' USA like the classic Brandos (to be discontinued?) or Engineer model. Quality is understandably lower according to reviews on here.

+1 on SId's quality, i love the boot, but I'm worried how long its gona last me... My first Fryes Engineers bought in the 80s are still going strong

I returned a pair of the Sids to Zappo's, kept the Brando lace ups instead. The look of the cognac Brandos seemed much nicer. The wrap-around lacing on the Sids also seemed like a pain.
