My Torrid combat boots are falling apart, so I’m in the market for a new pair that are specifically platform boots that come in black.
Unfortunately, the pair from Solovair (pictured) that I’ve had my eye on for a while (their 8-eye derby platforms) is no longer being sold, and it was replaced with a visually worse alternative where the zippers face outward.
I’ve never owned Martens before, but knowing that Martens aren’t what they used to be, how much do I have to lose by picking up a pair of Jadon III’s instead? If anyone knows any alternatives in the same style that are also Goodyear Welt, that could also be an option.
It doesn’t interfere. High quality boots just don’t use them.
What brand are your boots?
Samuel Hubbard. They seem to have stopped making anything high quality since I bought my (admittedly already scraping the bottom of the barrel as gyw things go) boots.
Edit: looked at their site. They at least still make stuff that looks gyw. Could be a fake welt though. Can’t say for sure
