help me decide on a pair of boots

hey guys, im trying to decide on what boots to wear, i was thinking of the nike manoa or columbia newton ridge as theyre cheap but i also kinda wants timbs, i dont have a specific budget but i wouldnt like to spend more than i would on a pair of timbs, i also really like danner boots which are way too expensive. basically, what boot would u guys reccomend for something that is gonna be good for the wintertime (i live in nj) but is also good for streetstyle and wearing to school or in certain outfits? and i want something in brown too. no secondhand. thanks

Or just get timberlands Just go on Pinterest and search street style and find some pictures that are your vibe

They don’t have to be pictures of people in timbs or even boots, moreso whatever style you’re going for

he’s not being a hardass fwiw there’s just a lot of different ways these clothes can be worn and that would effect what kind of shoe is recced You’ve mentioned timbs like 8 times, what’s stopping you from timbs

What is your budget? You mention not wanting secondhand and if Timbs at retail are more than you want to pay, that will limit recommendations

your height and weight have no bearing on the boots you can wear

the thing is im not an adult and my mom is willing to buy me boots but ill feel guilty if i make her spend that much on a pair but idk and she doesnt want me buying secondhand, i told her about timbs i would rprobably have to try them on first i dont think i would want to spend more than 200 usd

Been years since I bought Timbs but pretty sure you can still get the 6” premiums for under $200

I like timbs most with wide/baggy stuff and the streetwear/y2k style items you posted often fit that way, but can’t tell how the product pictures you shared fit on you
cable
cableOP2mo ago
ok

cableOP2mo ago
i really like these but theyre even more than timbs lmfao

and idk if they go with what i wear anything similar to these but cheaper?
StotheG7
StotheG72mo ago
There’s a bunch of different boots in that video, which ones specifically?
cable
cableOP2mo ago
the danner are the nicest, eddie bauer are the cheapest but even then they are still prolly too much
StotheG7
StotheG72mo ago
Secondhand is a great way to save on cost, otherwise I have seen that pair of Eddie Bauer go on discount as cheap as half off, but at the end of the winter/going into springtime
cable
cableOP2mo ago
damn alright

cableOP2mo ago
what do u guys think of these for $80? i might just go for timbs but ig this is the closest i can get to the danners without spending more than timbs yk

Personally think the laces are doing a lot to make these look similar to the danners. Otherwise they are just modern hiking boots
cable
cableOP2mo ago
Yea It's mostly the laces
Soup

If you need the boots for this coming fall/winter then I would probably go with the timberlands. If you can wait I would save if you can and get something like danners later on you can probably find some secondhand danners on ebay for a decent price in the US but if your parents don't want to buy you secondhand then you're kinda stuck with what they are willing to buy for you
cable
cableOP2mo ago
I'll see if I could get the timbs and I guess once I need new boots I can get the danner type boots (maybe secondhand with my own money yk)

Blundstones might work for you as well

Which specifically Also are timbs not too heavy for like school or just casual wear? Cuz that's probably how I'm gonna wear them most the time

If you can't go second hand, I think you have two options: - look for a deal on Eddie Bauer boots around $200 that match the Danner style. I think Allen Edmonds also has a factory seconds page where they might have a hiking style boots - just get timbs. They're a classic at this point and it wouldn't be hard to add pieces to your wardrobe that go with them if you need to (but the pics of the clothes you posted seem like they would work well enough)

Another option is to check out Doc Martens then I guess the classic in black or brown might work
cable

I haven't heard great stuff about docs but maybe

I would probably put them on the same level as timberlands I would say you want to try them on in person to make sure you get the right size though
cable

Yeah I will probably try on timbs before I buy Is there typically a black Friday sale?

i honestly think i should just go for these tbh. they look similar enough to timbs at least at first glance i feel, have the price, probably still decent enough for the winter, later on ill consider getting something like timbs or those danners i like but i feel like these would be fine
cable
cableOP2mo ago
these are the sneakers i have rn btw

if you can hold out until black friday, i'm betting timbs or danner will be on sale and worth the investment over the nikes but it's your call*
cable
cableOP2mo ago
how much do they usually cost for black friday
ClassClown
ClassClown2mo ago
i don't have specifics, but I wouldn't be shocked to see 20-40% off somewhere like Huckberry or Backcountry or Hatchet

ill try to go to the mall and try on timbs soon cfuz i heard they have weird sizing
ClassClown
ClassClown2mo ago
yea, 100% try in person first if you can if your mall has an Eddie Bauer store, you can look at these as well, I know folks love them too
cable
cableOP2mo ago
but if theres no good deal i might fall back onto the nike

yea, believe so. it's a $7 return if you need to exchange, so you could get two and send one back, but all the reviews seems to say tts -- i don't own them so i can't say personally
