need boots recommendations

Hi,

I am the typical sneaker guy, and I feel like I need to invest in a pair of boots.

I have no idea where to start, i tried browsing forums, but didn't find what I was looking for.

I am going for boots worn worn by the model of the spring 2007 collection of nice collective (far left)

Something that can be worn casually, and will last.

Thanks

I propose that the next person to post this exact topic be summarily stabbed to death without warning of any kind.

sounds good, so can anyone help me get started?

use the search button to get started.

been browsing for a while now.. i found a few boot topics but didnt see what i was looking for. im probably looking for the wrong topics.

anyone have experience with these?

Look up Journeys. They have some tight stuff. You can't go wrong with brands like Timberland and Perry Ellis.
I would say it's more like You can't go right with brands like Timberland and Perry Ellis. Short of one pair of chelseas timberland makes, I've never seen a boot from them that looked good.

Perry Ellis makes good boots? I didn't even know they made boots period. I need to get out more.

so, are rubber soles usually not that great?

its hard to find boots for a decent price with non-rubber soles

It's too bad those Aldos are supposed to be crap- they look kind of cool. They've got a bit of a vintage look to them. I don't know what you'd call that general style, but you might poke around on Redwing and see if they have anything similar.

You'll get a lot of recommendations for Alden Indies and a similar Red Wing here a lot, which is OK (I have a pair of Indies that I love), but not the style it seems you're looking for. I like that those Aldos, for instance, are a bit different than what you see here all the time.

I think rubber soles are great on the right boot- it's just a matter of aesthetics. For a pair of serious hiking boots, rubber is the only way to go. Certain vintage styles don't look right with rubber, though.

A good start when looking for recommendation would be to tell us what you want to spend.

Redwing, Alden, Carpe Diem....

Carpe Diem no longer exists.

Ebay and forums do. There is usually a pair for sale on SZ, never my size though. =(
