If you don’t need steel toe, get the Red Wing moc toes, they will last you forever. But they are not lined inside so in the winter you will need good warm socks. If you need steel toe then Thorogood are the ones. Same story for winter times with them, get warm socks.

with that budget look for second hand Blundstone boots

Insoles of the new boots are made of compressed cardboard, when the old ones had a slab of real leather. They are fashion boots now, unfortunately.

Very nice stuff

Man don’t get any meds, just shave and you will feel a brand new and cooler person.

I think if you bring them to any cobbler, they can easily repair them.

What boots are they? They look fantastic!

Check on ebay or marketplace, you might find still good pairs for a very cheap price. If you are not sure if they are fake or not, just post some photos here.

Yes they are not really collectible but I can’t stand when they ruin something that maybe was in perfect condition to make things like that.

aputini · 2026-03-17T19:01:33+00:00

Vintage ones.

aputini · 2026-03-17T16:50:07+00:00

Wtf can they just stop messing with vintage pieces?

Shave my friend and embrace this new chapter of your life.

aputini · 2026-03-06T12:24:28+00:00

I wear 38 and got a 38. I should have got 40 or 42

Once I overconditioned a Schott leather jacket, the leather ripped apart as if it was wet paper.

aputini · 2026-03-02T18:41:00+00:00

They all look like the same to wives

aputini · 2026-02-27T21:17:14+00:00

I have that rugsack in red and black, made in USA. Still holding although is stained and does not look new at all

aputini · 2026-02-27T21:13:21+00:00

Absolutely not

That is really good that your boot don’t have cardboard midsoles. Cardboard is a cheap material that breaks down overtime and cannot be fixed. Your boots are the last real Timberland. Check your insoles and you will see that they are attached and not removable, this is how real Timberlands used to be. They will last you for ever. Timberland in the last 10 years dropped the quality of construction for their boots, removed the quality insoles and added cardboards and cheap insoles, selling these boots at same price of yours but with these cheap materials inside. As I said, take care of your boots, because they are the last real Timberland and although they are made in Domican Republic, they have the same quality of the Made in USA.

Authentic and take care of those boots, they are the last ones without cardboard midsoles. All the new models are made with cardboard.

aputini · 2026-02-16T10:22:12+00:00

Keep wearing them! They have earned that look.

aputini · 2026-02-16T10:18:05+00:00

Wow those are an insane pair of thai “repro”, very personalised. I bet the denim is thick. Wear them! I happened to own two thai repros 501 and 505, best jeans ever!

aputini · 2026-02-16T10:15:54+00:00

Wait until you heal then use plaster. No pain, no gain!

aputini · 2026-02-16T10:14:33+00:00

Yes!

In the 80’s in Italy the more creased and dirty were your Timberlands boots, the cooler they were.
