Boots / shoes to wear with your flight jacket s...

[Thomas Koehle]

They arrived today , I must say that they exceeded my expectations . The leather is nice and sweet and get nice folds imeediately , everything is screaming top quality. I really did not expect to find such boots at 10% of their price . These ELC Raider boots are awsome , defintively .

Thank you ami Almost 10% 160€ instead of 1140€ ( without postage and taxes ) . The guy said to me that he wanted to sell them as quickly as possible and that the style did not correspond anymore to what he is actually in for. Don't know what it really means to buy such expensives boots to sell at that ridiculous price , anyway .. . my feet and I are happy ( and my wallet too ) . Ah !! if someone wants to get some the size is LARGE !! I've some 10.5 , 10 , even 11 in D , E or EE . these in comparison are more 11 EEE than 10.5 E indicated . That's not a problem , I like to have insoles in my boots .

Discovering a pair of Grant Stones in Crimson Chromexcel goes quite well with Officer Pinks.

I wanted to order Wolverine 1000 miles because I like the shape, but doesn't seems to be represented here. Bad choice ?

I also like the Viberg Service boots or Alden Indy.

But I should have new boots soon.

This guy is possibly the most authoritative person on tye internet when it comes to boots. Can’t recall what he thought of the Wolverines, but I dimly recall he was lukewarm on them:

I DO remember that he thought Alden Indys were way overpriced. Vibergs though - I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about them.

Thanks you @mulceber .

I gonna watch some of his videos to learn. Your Grant Stone looks pretty nice too.

Thanks, @Saint-ex - I like them a lot, and I'm glad I have them, but if you're new to old school boots (you may not be, so apologies if you've already been there and done that), there are others I'd rank higher than Grant Stone.

Blundstones for a chilly morning

Haha, no worries! I'm always learning, even about things I think I know.
To be honest I know about dress shoes but never owned old school boots.
Just tried Worlverine 1000 miles and Redwings Beckman today. Wolverine's were definitely more confortable at first try.
I tend to wear sleeker, dressier boots. I was hoping for something a bit more casual to wear with my wider jeans.

Both good choices, Saint-ex.

I can support both Viberg and Alden, the choice is yours. Personally I feel both are worth the money totally, and either will fit in nicely to that more casual outfit.
