Sorry if they've been posted but it's quite a thread, has anyone posted pics of SM Navy Boondockers? Curious how they look in the flesh and after some wear

Tim I posted a pair of these for sale a while back . They are good value for the money .
Particularly if you happen to catch them on sale .

Anyone have issues with the SM wholesale double buckles rubber soles wearing down very fast? The rubber is very soft.

A-2s and cowboy boots always go together, if worn with jeans.
With pants, any good leather shoe or boot works. No white sneakers.

Been wearing my Sturm Mil-Tec roughouts and service shoes pretty much non-stop for the last few months and they've been fantastic - go bloody well with a flying jacket too.

My dubbed ATF Boondockers are my go to now. MORE WEAR IN THESE RECENT MONTHS THAN IN 12 PLUS YEARS...

Berwick 1707 boots. If you are in the UK, the Black Friday sale is on and they are at £126 reduced from £180. They are much nicer than I expected and still going strong after 4 years. Plus the customer service at afinepairofshoes.co.uk is really really good.

If you’re in the mood for something different than Service boots or Roughout boots , I recommend trying these. They are “ Thursday Boots , the Captain model” The company is located in New York City and the boots’ look good with just about anything except a Saville Row suit . This is their Adobe colored Captain.

I should mention that these are their wear and forget about them boots . You never need to polish or clean them up . They have dressier and traditional boots as well. Check out their website .
Cheers

These are very nice... look like a bespoke Officer's boot from the Great War.

'Hopper' Chelsea boots by Barker for some of today....

I have a few pairs of Barker's footwear but realise their range may be a bit too 'civilian' for some tastes.

I wanted to show you guys another style of Thursdays Boots out of New York City . The last ones I posted in Adobe color most people run hot and cold to . I think these are a little more favorable looking. These are the “Thursday Vanguard” boot .

ATF N-1 boots today. Incredibly easy and comfortable to wear

My ATF Boondockers got a run tonight. Worn in to the point where I don't have to pull half the laces out to get them off! Good times.

Daft question Grant but is this just polish on top of the oily leather? Been thinking about doing it myself but don’t want to wreck my Rangers.
