PSA, a few C&J boots are 30% off in the Todd Snyder BF sale. I managed to grab a pair of Tan Scotch Grain Coniston’s for $507, which is cheaper than I have seen lately, even when ordering from the UK with no VAT.

I’m not certain, as I bought them secondhand. I have a feeling Skoaktiebolaget was involved.

Does anyone wear Dr Martens boots ?

Am thinking of adding them to my collection but i dont know what i would wear them with. I dont dress like a punk rocker. I have a slim frame so i thinking they might look to bulky on me. ?

Unless you need the slip resistant soles, I’d find another option. The quality all around is poor, and they’re chunky and heavy as hell. I wore three pairs over three years, because they made sense for working in a restaurant and behind a bar. Still looked good, while protecting me from falling. All three pairs required a two week to a month break in (5 days a week) before they were comfortable. Never once did I wear them outside of the job.

I got a cxl pair on sale a little while ago and bought more for the leather...

they’re an acquired taste but are pretty comfortable however don’t get much of a run out at my house..

Does anyone have experience with Vibram’s 430 sole?

I’m doing an MTO and I’m wondering if it’s worth the $30 up charge opposed to Dainite that has no up charge. I only have experience w Dainite, itshide commando and Alden’s commando. I don’t live in a snowy area either.

I would stick with the Dainite sole if you don't really need foul-weather performance.

"The Vibram Mini-lug 430 uses a different compound than many other rubber soles making it oil-resistant, durable, and grippy"

People often choose rubber soles instead of leather for more durability and foul weather performance which is why believe it is an excellent choice for resoles. Vibram is an Italian company that has been making rubber soles since 1937 and is well known in the shoe industry for making high...

Thank you for the link. Seems like I wouldn’t benefit from the sole. California weather is pretty much sunny year round. Thank you.
