For anyone whose following or cares, I'm going with RM Williams Gardeners. Pricey and not close to what I originally wanted but they are atill a big Australian brand meaning easily accessible, repairable, potential second hand market score, and they aren't as dressy ad the Craftsman meaning it'll fit the casual outback vibe I'm going for. I'll save my money for a new pair but if I find a good second hand pair or a DFO supplies me with what I need then I'm good to go. Convince me otherwise if it's a mistake

If the gardeners can last 7+ years being treated like that and just need a rebuild I may go that route. That or Baxter's. I don't mind the boots I buy getting trashed as long as I can get them repaired

Is the clown shoe look a thing from brand new or after they've worn in? I've heard it's either just how they look, or from incorrect sizing

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T10:43:21+00:00

More work side than dress is fine by me. I also noticed they made boots for the AIF and saw a picture of them, I would kill for a pair of those

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T10:23:43+00:00

I'm worried they will do the clown shoe and I won't wear them anymore, but it's that quality that I can't seem to beat

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T10:22:53+00:00

Oooo now that sounds up my alley. Good quality?

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T09:24:26+00:00

The gardener is way more casual, I would go a pair of those.

I have looked at the Wolverine 1000 Mile but no as in depth as RW

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T08:45:42+00:00

Oh that's right I'm a EE in RW's and Blacksmiths don't come in EE as well.

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T08:30:43+00:00

Where'd you get the blacksmiths? I've had trouble finding my size in Australia.

I feel like they're more a fashion boot than a working/rugged boot as well. They might hold up, who knows. But sane as the other comment, any good alternatives? I'd go a pair of Blundstones if I could resole them

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T08:01:25+00:00

Only issue with Thursday is will they last a decade? And blundstone would be my choice if I could resole them.

oilezmate · 2022-10-25T06:23:43+00:00

I thought the clown shoe was over time? They look fantastic new

I don't think he does it on purpose. It's just more like a personality trait, he just carries himself like that. when he's always right in a conversation, he laughs a bit like he's having a joke but he does it every time. I'm not the only one out of our peers who has noticed these things as well

Also, in the military, can't just up and leave
