These Golden Fox Boots.

There's pretty cheap, but Goodyear welted and the leather/construction is quality (although not top-of-the-line). I own a pair of Chippewas, Bean Boots, and Iron Rangers, and these get the most compliments by far. They add some lighter colors to usual winter outfits that tend to be dark, they're big and chunky, and you'll get some solid years out of wearing them.

I really can't say enough good things about them.

u/TheBigRedSD4 · 10 pointsr/news

German army field jackets are pretty popular in surplus stores, the cammo pattern looks pretty rad and they’re usually cheaper than the US military gortex tops.

u/Ellistann · 9 pointsr/BuyItForLife

I was in the Army back when we used to always wear black boots. So I've put plenty of miles in these boots. and why I say you may want to look at actual combat boots.

Advantage is that the leather is long lasting and since they were made en-masse they are by definition cheap(as far as quality to price goes). And since they were supposed to be used to wear and tear friendly, they were made so you could easily re-sole them(especially the Corcoran Jump Boots )

Any military base close to you has cobblers (usually attached to a little Korean lady's sew shop) right off post that can re-sole the bottoms, since they are fairly stiff bottomed (steel plate in the sole to prevent punji sticks from piercing foot if stepped on)

Disadvantages: The Corcorans and most military boots have a stiffer ankle area, which you don't like. The ones that are the best for angle mobility are jungle boots They aren't BIFL, but rather BIF 2-3 years before you need to get them re-soled. Many of my friends bought them, then immediately had them re-soled so it would lose the stiff bottom and become a long lasting sneaker...

I preferred the Corcorans listed above, and will be getting a new pair as soon as my bunion surgery gets done.

But you might look at the original "GI Combat Boot"

Splits the difference between ankle mobility of Jungle Boots and BIFL-ness of Corcorans.

Last warning: Fakes / Knock-Offs

Corcorans have always been made by that single manufacturer so you don't need to worry about knockoffs (and they are the best). But the USGI Combat Boots AKA Recruit Boots and the USGI Jungle Boots have had knock off for a long time. Bad stitching, or just shittier quality materials usually. So if you see a pair that is $30-50 or seems too good to be true, pass on it. Most military boots are in the $99-200 range.

Swing by an Army Navy Store and start trying them on.

u/steveyoo97 · 7 pointsr/BarefootRunning

I second this.

Active duty army here. I use these all the time. They're not zero-drop, but more minimal than most other boots out there.

And they're within regulations! (for the army, at least).

ooh, they come in black: http://www.amazon.com/Belleville-Tactical-Research-Mini-Mil-Athletic/dp/B00AMLEPI0

u/Vijchti · 7 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Option B: just adjust the grip strength of the shirt stay clasp.

It takes about 5 seconds to complete. Inspect the metal clasp that attaches to your shirt or your sock. You should see that one of the pieces is bent into a kind of L shape. To increase the grip strength, bend that inside piece so that it's more perpendicular.

This can be done by opening the clasp, inserting a thin piece of hard material (like a small metal nail file) through the back of the clasp, and then closing the clasp slightly. Small changes can have very large effects; don't overdo it.

Note that I'm talking specifically about this style of shirt stay. They only cost about $10 and they last for years with everyday use. You just need to tighten them from time to time as the elastic gradually stretches.

u/rootb33r · 5 pointsr/malefashionadvice

hey man, I'm nearly 32 but I've been on this forum since my mid-20's, so I've experimented with a bit, and my style has obviously changed as I've gotten older.

There's no "30 year old style." It's pretty much the same thing as in your 20s (and this extends to your 40s, too). The key is that you need to be more aware of the scenarios in which you are wearing your clothing. There's much more leeway in terms of social acceptance when you're in college, grad school, or starting your first job and going out to happy hours and socializing with other 20-somethings.

In the end, all of the same general principles on MFA still apply into your 30s and 40s, you just have to be more cognizant of your situation.

That being said, here's what I recommend:

(1) get a pair of sneakers that you can wear casually. Not running shoes... casual sneakers. I have these New Balance ML574's. I love the two-tone texture look. I wear these literally every day, all year.

  • walking the dog
  • walking to the store
  • going to a restaurant with friends (of course it depends on other factors, like the occasion, the rest of my outfit, etc.)

    (2) get a pair of versatile boots that walk the line between both casual and professional. I have a pair of Frye Walters. I love the look, but I think I would recommend some other boot as far as comfort and durability, like the MFA coveted Alden 405. I wear these a few times per week.

  • any other outfit that graduates from my sneakers above
  • when I travel for work, these are the only non-sneaker shoes I bring (business casual environment)
  • traveling for leisure, these are (usually) the only non-sneaker shoes I bring, depending on what I'm doing

    (3) Pretty much all I wear are (1) and (2), but I also work from home so I don't have to go into the office every day. That said, depending on your job and your job wardrobe, expand your collection with shoes that will help there. If you work in an office, get quality dress oxfords, play with some wingtips, or get some chelsea boots or other kinds of dress boots.

    (4) Optional: another pair of boots that are more casual. I have a pair of Golden Fox Moc toe vibram wedge. I would sort of put these as less casual than the dress boots in (2), and substitutable with sneakers (no shorts, of course). T-shirt and jeans wouldn't look good with the (2) boots, but would work with a more casual, chunky boot.

    I think that's all I got.

I wear this and it works pretty well.

Doubt the little metal piece will set off the detector but I'm not 100% sure.

u/PLxFTW · 4 pointsr/malefashionadvice

If you want to wear a tucked in shirt you could get some of these shirt stays. I've used them before and they work great.

u/jame9259 · 4 pointsr/goodyearwelt

I've been suffering from a neuropathy of some sort (not diabetes) for about 10 years, and for 90% of the time, all I can stand to wear have been the excellent Brooks Beast Running shoes. That's been hard for this 57 year old Iowa farm boy that grew up in boots.

I settled on a pair of Thorogood American Heritage work boots, and after a relatively uncomfortable afternoon of break in, they've been extraordinary. The wedge sole has been great for my back as well, although that's not the only option. I strongly encourage anyone to give them a shot:

u/[deleted] · 4 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Get your shirt pleated (cutting a few inches from the back). Most tailors I worked with generally charge $8-$15. Shirt Garters works too but I don't generally wear it unless I know I'm being photographed or at a formal event. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Military-Straight-Shirt-Stays/dp/B0001XLP9Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1313683235&sr=8-3

u/Dtr45 · 3 pointsr/CasualConversation

Also if you ever wear tucked in button-down shirts, get a pair of shirt garters. Theyre super cheap but might feel a little odd for the first wear or two but they make a huge difference on how you look. Would always recommend.

u/Turquoise_HexagonSun · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Here you go. Golden Fox Moc Toe. Highly reviewed inexpensive boot.

u/deputy_diarrhea · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Rothco makes a good milspec boonie hat. It's hard to beat at $10 on Amazon. Lightweight, tough BDU fabric. Comes with chin strap, brim loops, and metal screen vents for the top. Can't go wrong at this price, I suggest giving one a try.

u/numbertwodad · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

A few months back there was some talk about the Golden Fox moc toe boots, you can find them on Amazon. I never really felt comfortable with the range of reviews or the quality of the leather so I decided to wait.

Fast forward to late October, I happened across a pair of Eastland moc toe boots at Nordstrom Rack for only $70. You can buy them new from their site here for $125 with a 15% off coupon if you sign up for their mailing list. I love them - been keeping my feet dry and warm through the Chicago winter thus far. Would recommend for the price point.

u/snubdeity · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Oh god go buy some shirt stays like this.

If you're wearing socks, they will give you abso-fucking-loutely perfect shirt tucks. They'll even pull the back of the shirt down after you stand up, so it doesn't get that back sag you see a lot from people sitting down often.

Note: Wearing them often may results in major hair loss where they lay on your legs. Also, they pinch your knees sometimes. But hey, perfect tucks!

u/Ch3llieBelly · 2 pointsr/BarefootRunning

These Tactical Research Mini-Mil's were the only ones that I could find that were truly slip resistant and minimalist. I love them. I have been wearing them for 3-4 months now at two different restaurants and have not had any problems with slippage or from my managers saying anything about them. They also just look like a nice pair of shoes when wearing pants because they cover the top portion that looks like a military boot. The bottom portion looks like a dressy casual shoe.

u/mustang209 · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Haha no I was in the military and I had to wear them. I prefer the kind that hook to the socks.

EDIT: these ones.

I'm thinking of getting the rothco one, even though it has a fucking stupid name.

These are really cheap and look awesome. Plus they sound pretty good. They also make great looking chukkas

u/clobbersaurus · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I use a rubber belt style shirt stay. Other comments are correct that shirts probably fitting you properly, but for $15 these can help a lot. I go all day looking exactly how I got dressed.

I really like the these Golden Fox boots. I bought a pair earlier this year and I think they look and feel great for the price.

u/STNSY · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Steve Madden has poor quality, and although the price looks nice, I can't imagine these lasting you any more than two years, and that's if you take good care of them. What kind of budget are you looking at? I saw a good review on here, I think, about these boots, but you have to like the shape and aesthetic of the shoe for it.

u/Samthegard · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

With winter approaching and being a student on a budget, I'm in desperate need of boots that aren't a high price, even though I'll be giving up some quality for it. Right now I'm stuck in between two boots, the Golden Fox 6" Moc Toe Boots and Crevo Moc Toe Boots. Not sure as to which to get. Any suggestions on either, or experience? And if you know a better boot that is preferrably under $100, please share.

u/allforthekarma · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Well to be fair the suit pictures were taken right after putting everything on. Kinda rushed to get some of them as you can see untied shoes in the tailored fit pictures.

u/PythonPussy · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Surprised nobody's mentioned shirt stays. They might be annoying to put on if you need to wear dress shirts every day but the fact that they keep your shirt tucked in at all times means the amount of 'bagginess' you experience will almost always be nonexistent when you wear these. These are the ones I got years ago and they still work like a charm. I say try these before you go even go to a tailor

u/turbospartan · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

No, more like these

Not the same look, but those soles are better for icy/wet conditions

u/texticled · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

It's not an easy find. I've been through more than I care to admit. I think the best pair I've ever had were from a small independent men's store. Check those in your area. I've also found okay ones at Army/Navy stores (they had them behind the counter). I've got these off Amazon, and they're shit. The foot loop ones always slide off my foot, so I don't use those. These are the type that I always use.

It's always worked just fine for me. But I'm also used to it since these are my every day shoes as well, I wear them for everything except weightlifting, which I have a dedicated pair of powerlifting shoes for.

u/The-Canadian-Jester · 1 pointr/airsoft

I've seen some people mod their helmets and such, that took me too long in order to set it up. However, the best thing for me was a beanie, I like the puff ball ones with the designs and it is saggy enough to protect the head. Here is the facewrap that I wear. It is nice and comfy, and if you dip it in ice water, keeps you cool. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Condor-MULTI-P-Multi-Wrap/dp/B0086UB82U

Cotton as in a boonie hat?

A boonie hat will soak up water/sweat to help cool you off, and a straw hat will allow more airflow to help cool you off.

u/Spencerforhire83 · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

They definitely help. I remember they use to sell a silicon belt that you put over your shirt, but under your belt line, that keeps the shirt in.

Shoes (100$ Budget) - Golden Fox boots would be a good choice if you want to spend $100 total on shoes and boots.

A better option though is see if you can get your hands on a zippered military poncho liner. It's meant to be used as a sleeping bag liner, but I used it all through officer training school on top of my bed so I wouldn't have to make it every day.

u/Tolerated · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Thanks. I'm considering getting the pair of boots you linked (your previous review as my first, but I was wondering if the sizes of these vary to regular training shoes or anything. I see people buying relatively small numbers (6.5EE and 7D). Any chance you'd explain to me what those letters mean and what size I should probably get? I'm a pretty big guy being 6'3" I usually wear size 12.5-13 training/running shoes. I checked the amazon page but they don't seem to have any sizes from 11 to 13. Any idea where I could possible get them in another size?

u/SurfAfghanistan · 1 pointr/MilitaryGear

I've been wearing this softshell for 2 years. Its not super heavy, but it's pretty weather proof. I don't know what your location is but if you don't normally expect a ton a bad weather then you might want to consider this jacket. I've had a good experience with this jacket. I will say that the hood is really large, so it folds up weird. I've heard other people have had issues with the zippers.

I have three brand new pairs of Golden Fox Boots

  • Size 10

  • Size 10

  • Size 9.5

    They will go for $40 plus shipping. They will be shipped in their original packaging and boxes. PM with questions or for more details.

    Sizing info (YMMV):

    I wear these in 9.5 with thick wool socks, so they run large. I wear CDBs in 9 with thin socks and 9.5 with normal/ slightly thicker socks. I wear 9.5 in Cole Haan boots with dress socks and they are the best fitting boots I have ever worn. 9.5 in Vans with regular socks if that helps.
