Looking for a recommendation for boots. I'm looking for a pair of black, somewhat dressy, 7-8" tall lace ups. Willing to spend about $500. Quality is important. Don't want anything that looks too "work boot". Here's a photo of a some RL boots, which are close to what I want. Just think I can get better quality for less. Any suggestions?


Epaulet will soon be making boots close to below. There will be side zips and they are discussing possibly no eyelets. The boots will be 8" and $295 and be ready mid october. Check their thread for updates and final design pics.

http://www.sierratradingpost.com/tr...?filterString=trickers~b~1917/&colorFamily=03 I own these and they are great. With one of the additional 30% off coupon kickers they're a steal, too.

Any thoughts on Thursday Boot Company? Saw them online and they look pretty nice, and very affordable at $199, but thought I'd check here first and see if anybody had any opinions.

By the way new to the forum but have been browsing for about 3 years, thanks for creating such an awesome destination for fashion advice!

Got some new boots...

Flat Head Medallion Boots, made of black Chromexcel leather with a quilted cowhide shaft, Vibram #700 sole, and custom FH cast steel buckles. They're super comfortable right out of the box, which is always a huge plus for me as I can't really handle breaking in stiff boots.

Did you end up snagging s pair of TBC?? I bought a pair about the same time you posted this question. I was very unimpressed but never returned them. Was planning to give them to a nephew for a present but he didn’t want them. After nearly two years of non-use I decided to give them a try. They’re actually okay. Still not aesthetically impressed, but not bad. Btw, I have the plain toe dune/natural chrmxl boot.

I would like to add one of our Heinrich Dinkelacker boots. Manufactured on a Buda last and made from finest french calf. I'd like to hear your opinion.

Junya Watanabe pays tribute to current fashion trends with details like backpacks that are worn across the chest. The Wien Plain BC serves as a classic counteract to that.

– Masterpieces by Heinrich Dinkelacker accompanied the SS 19 Collection of Junya Watanabe Man at Parc André Citroën, Paris, on June 22nd –
