My bootsoles have unglued themselves again, time to visit the local shoeman again. And once again he will explain me that the OG soles are very ungluable material, thus, nothing sticks to them. I should probably just buy a pair of new boots and stop torturing the old man. Too bad that boots that last is so hard to find.

Cute ones? Absolutely no clue, I had mine handmade and custom designed by a journeywoman shoemaker and paid almost 300€ for them! They've been very good, but lol.

in reply to Sini Tuulia • • •For not winter stuff I really like JoBear, they are beautiful, well made (abovementioned shoeman said so) and not plastic. And they made for me extra wide ankle. But. Not only they don't have warm lining, but I... don't trust Latvian winters with mud, ice, salt, snowsalt and saltsnow to not not destroy their leather soles in a winter or two.

in reply to IneseV • • •Rieker somehow never fits me well, despite being known as comfy brand. My current, several times mended boots are Pomor from Somijas Apavi, but last time I checked, Pomor had switched away from classic black to sportsy looks I didn't like. Anyway, will check Somijas Apavi.
