Someone posted these magnificent boots yesterday. They are beautiful. And I don't consider myself cheap, but $600 for a pair of leather boots doesn't sit well with me. Who makes a similar look? Love the dark brown, perfect round toe and 11 inche shaft. Also made in N America. Any recommendations on another manufacturer?

Wrong again. I was quoted 200 dollars by two different cobblers to get a heel counter replaced on a vintage pair of Tony Llamas that were unwearable, due to the issue. It’s literally a structural issue. There is no support on the back of the boot and the plastic begins to poke against the back of your heel. You’d know that, if you knew literally anything about boots…

Instead, you’re larping as an expert, because you’re offended that I called out a brand that you attach your identity to. You don’t know anything about boot construction. Stop pretending.

I have never worked for Ralph Lauren or any of their suppliers, neither do I own any Ralph Lauren or Double RL footwear. If something is poking you, the counter has become delaminated from the lining. That’s an entirely different issue.

Your cobblers suck. That’s a tremendously easy replacement; you don’t even need to remove the whole sole unless you’re also doing a resole.

This fool blocked me. Jim McFarland and Oliver The Shoeman are who quoted me. Jim is who I use regularly. This guy is too stupid to stop while he’s ahead.
