Just picked up a pair of unworn Altbergs locally on Facebook Marketplace for £50, they make a decent boot, just breaking them in at the moment.

I have just discovered Danner Mountain Light boots. Wow. Amazing boots the comfiest I have ever worn.
I have the mountain pass ones, comfy and great quality
These came with the dark laces, but are shown with light ones online.
Sweeney dont keep any stock of the laces and I just cant find any that match what's shown online :(
I've just noticed that Sebago have a sale on. Some decent reduction to shoes and boots: https://www.sebago.co.uk/sale
Surely must be getting closer, bought these in preparation for the winter journey, Trickers Axton

Bought from fine pair of shoes
Good program on the other night about Crockett and Jones. Had some warm looking boots on there

Good timing, I've just taken my Red Wing Ice Cutters out of storage and in the process of cleaning / proofing them in readiness for his winter . I have to say the boots have never let me down, over the last 7 years and I've looked after them so they still look good. Another adavantage is they have a wool liner to keep your feet warm The full vibram sole also helps to give excellent traction in snow/mud so I'm not really looking for another winter pair/ except, the only downside is that they are not really 'smart' or business friendly so I'd be interested in seeing different styles and opinions from the more traditional shoe makes in the UK and see If I can be tempted to buy another winter pair.
Another pair of redwings ready for winter season

I bought similar chameau back end in spring so haven't actually had chance to try them yet, so something else to look forward to, bring on the wind, rain, snow and shine :)
Am I the only person that keeps an identical spare pair of unworn boots just in case my original pair wear out / need repairing?
My original pair of Courtney’s have been in almost daily winter wear for the last 5 years and they are still going strong
I coated them up in dubbing a few weeks ago ready for the coming winter. Fashionable they are not but they are by far the most comfortable boot I have ever owned.
They are Cape Buffalo (main), Kudu (re enforcement) and Impala (trim) leather so should last a few more years yet.

Still not got around to getting a pair of these for the filthy weather/commute to work. I’ve Yuketen, Paraboot, Diemme and Fracap but these are real work horses according to my friends reports.
Realistically i’m going to be in work 2-3 weeks in total from the end of November until the end of February, start of March so will hopefully dodge the worst of the weather. Decisions, decisons…
I also buy two pairs of the boots and trainers I really like with the view of saving one but always end up wearing both but having one good pair and one ruined pair side by side.
For redwings I have a bunch but I much prefer the chukkas. More comfortable for me by some distance.
Last pair of Timberland boots i bought were some 28 years ago or so and they were brilliant. The reviews and quality since then have gone way down from what i’ve read and seen. They make an America Craft boot that look very nice but seem to be very hard to buy over here.
Cant say Ive had any issues with the soles wearing down on my redwings, nor my grenson freds or my tricker ethan (all that have gum soles) and Ive got some timberland boat shoes as a comparison and wouldnt say Ive seen any difference across the brands in my experience
I seem to remember a thread or some posts about getting timberland / Panama Jack's boots resoled but can't find them. I've got a pair of Panama's that are need of resoling, does anyone have any recommendations?

These again for this those harsh winter days. The oil leather burnt orange pair I picked up for £50 in the US in 2007.
I have lots of other boots so they do get worn in rotation.
Got my Red Wing Rovers on today. Really comfortable and I can wear these all day with no issue. The soles have worn quite quickly though.

Hope you are well?
This is a watch forum, with excessive shiny pieces of metal costing ridiculous sums of money with threads like this full of excessive footwear, car posts similar and a passion for all things that we like but dont need so I will quite happily will accept the tart comment :)
Crockett and Jones this winter.

Ok, Le C looks overkill for the grass you are standing in. It doesn’t look even remotely water logged or requiring wellies. Great wellies when required, this was not that occasion.
No idea where you are located but I’ve been outside in a T-shirt for most of last week and the weekend. So as for the coat, and then being photographed in them, wow.
What are the weird round rubber vent type things by your knees on the trousers?
I’m intrigued and amused in equal measures. Pressure release valve? Do you pump air in, so your trousers match your jacket? Haha.
Edit to add - you’re in London. Have a word with yourself!
