it's best to go to your local outdoors shop and talk to an expert. different use cases may require different kinds of boots. but most importantly, the shoe needs to properly fit so you don't get blisters or injuries after walking in them the whole day.

not all outdoor shops have staff with expertise, but if they do, they are well worth it even if the shoes end up being a bit more expensive than you originally planned.

if you are looking for stylish shoes, just look for gorpcore shit, so you can wear your fancy outdoor gear in the city.

where do you live? If europe get a M77 from a european manufacturer.

You need several pairs of footwear for different seasons and conditions

What are some good half-boot trail runner type shoes? I need to be able to chase people down but then not worry about my shoes coming off once I’ve caught them. Normally it would be a patrol type boot but at my job I’ve got free range to wear whatever the fuck I want.
I’m in the cold now but when I get sent home it will be much warmer

Ive had a pair of danner lt IIs for nearly a decade and while they are great work and stand around boots they are not good for any kind of real hiking.

most of the trailrunner brands make ones with more ankle support that look more bootlike, and are basically light boots, but I dont understand the problem, why would your trailrunners not come off when running but come off when stopped? They should be tight either way

It’s easy to step out of shoes in a fight. Do you have any boots you would recommend, or maybe a top three? I usually need a wide size so a model that runs wide or comes in wide would be good.

You just made this thread. I remember seeing the camo snufkin and everything. How many boot recommendations do you need?

>>2856830
Speaking of camo, anyone know of any modern clothing in Erbsenmuster anywhere?

Epic militaria has 2 great anoraks. I have the 3/4 zip. Super comfy. There is a fall oakleaf reversible parka on Nestof that is nice as well.

asking for stylish immediately limits you from the best options
go with m77 if you want a basic combat boot. I like the Estonian models since Alfa (the og norwegian brand) is now made in Romania. It's also not as wide.
Zamberland makes the best designed boots. Some can be a bit narrow so I look for wider models. They excel at designs that minimize stitching (one piece of leather for less water leakage.)
As I get older though I look for boots/shoes that weigh less ideally less than 3 pounds per pair. Danner's are way too heavy. If i'm wearing something that heavy outdoors im switching to rubber boots cause its wet and mucky.

You need at most 2 pairs. Don't listen to this tard, get yourself some good quality shoes that will last you a long time, one pair for hot weather and the other for cold.

William Lennon boots, cheap for leather boots and hand made in Europe to your measurements if you get a custom order which is not as expensive as you'd think.

I've had mine 4 years now. My Lowa GTXs lasted me 2 before the soles wore flat and they cracked through.

I have these Hanwags (or a similar model) and really like them. Good waterproofing, comfy, and pretty subtle looking.

One can never hoard enough theoretical information as a quick feel-good in order to delay as much as possible putting any of it in practice. You can't just go to Decathlon, try on boots from the cheapest up until walking back and forth the aisle feels good and get it over with. You have to get the "right" boots. Same for all else, from gear to underwear.

Retail employees are usually disinterested teens or lifelong wagies who don't have the disposal income to buy the shit they're selling.
Unironically I'd take the word of some strangers on 4chan or other internet forums over some stoned zoomette at the local MEC.

I use Baffin Truro as my main shoes for around 6 years, had them since 2018. Had to reglue the soles recently, and I wish I took better care of them since they're pretty scratched up. But they'll still give me another 8 years. Currently using them while in Finland.

They're great in snow, and in summer they're not bad at all w/ good grip. They're less water proof now, but can probably fix with some sort of sealant.
