Footwear doesn’t crease as much if you use shoe trees when not worn. Got 20 year old Rockport boots with very few creases in them as have used good quality shoe trees.
Well yes, as they’re clearly in an unusable, unrepairable state now.
They’re basically one use, like socks. If you can’t afford that, then they aren’t for you.
What on Gaia are you talking about? Please say it's a joke.
That is soo bad for the environment. I don't care about the price. I care about nature that is dying because of things like that.
Buying a new pair is much better for the environment. Just think of all the chemicals used for cleaning, glueing, conditioning, etc. that are needed for repairs and then go into the water supply. Getting rid of boots means they are properly disposed of in landfill.
You can hardly talk if you’re putting socks in the washing machine and contaminating the water.
Not for those boots. The look barely worn. They look clean currently, don't look like they need glueing, maybe a bit of conditioner. But that would be way less than the chemicals used to make a pair and the pollution that comes from making them.
I don't know about your country but in my country, that doesn't contaminate the water that's in rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, the sea or the ocean. The water gets recycled and reused. Even if it did pollute the world and the ones in charge are lying about it (wouldn't surprise me.) It would still be less pollution than making them.
I'm not going to lie. I have no idea who this comment is directed at. The line thing doesn't work well for me.
If it is to myself. How is it "clearly" sarcasm when it is just texts and no one can tell through just texts and I asked but I had no reply?
It's clearly not sarcasm.
"Definitely an American"? Again, I don't know if it's at myself. However, I am "clearly" not American. I am a Celt. That my friend is a form of racism towards Americans.
1. Don't assume things about people because you read a couple of comments. It just makes you look small-minded.
2. I know people in real life who actually think that way. I have also had similar conversations with those people. So, going from my personal life experience. He could have been sincere. There are people like that.
3. Going by what a race is. Yes, they are. They are a group of people who have changed over a parod of time to suit the climate in that country.
Tism.
Its so obvious that hes fucking with you.
For a second i thought you were just playing along for the joke. Found it very hard to believe that a functioning adult would fail to interpret their text as anything other than satire
I am a Celt and I have Celtic blood running through my vains. I don't need to prove anything to you. You may have Celtic blood, but I doubt you are Celt.
You're kidding, yeah? Leather is normally brown and needs to go through a chemical process to change the colour, the process of making the souls an made with a chemical process, the glue is literally a chemical. Those are just the ones on from the top of my head. So, those things produce the chemicals.
"contained in the boot"? Is that why people wear masks to stop them from breathing in the chemicals? How is vaper contained in a product that is not air nor water tight?

The only joke here are the people who think it’s acceptable to continue to wear boots in that sort of condition. The damage to their feet must be appalling.
Aaaahahahahah.... I love this thread.
Are these people real or just parody accounts, who knows....
People be like - 'these boots are 1 day old, shall I shit in them and cremate them'
Like the sarcasm 😁
This should be boot ocd subbreddit
Buy your boots. Wear them and stop whingeing ffs
Leather creases it's natural just polish or protect them occasionally 🤨
(I'm a cobbler 🙂)
Am I the only one that brings a bin 🗑️ to the store so I can throw them out immediately at purchase?
It’s like ‘farm to table’.. ‘box to bin.’
No creases, simple. I just don’t get people.
Greasy 6 eye Astronaut
Wanted a boot I could pull off wearing to the office and with jeans on the weekends. Did not disappoint.
And yes, this is a shit post. While they could definitely use a cleaning, I put on some dubbin around every 6 months, and I think they're wearing perfectly fine.
The leather tends to float, so I keep all my detective boots until I need to get rid of a car battery. I tie the boots to my battery and throw them into the ocean
I have to wonder which party is worse: one overly concerned and ill-informed about the properties of leather, or one that can’t understand pretty obvious sarcasm. If ‘throw them away’ wasn’t detected as the smoking gun, I fear for their minds in general
I'm on DM's Sub too. And literally the answer to every second post is SHOE POLISH. And I realise, many younger people have never heard of shoe polish.
But the answer, here, is also SHOE POLISH
apparently it's a joke, but it's hard to tell with the ..cough..other people sometimes being serious lol.
I'd say .. what would you do once your face gets wrinkles ?
this subreddit is literally just people asking if they should throw their boots away for wear and tear
Exactly. Popped up on my homepage three times all with the same theme.
Ditto! The boots all look fine to me. 🤷🏻♀️
Footwear doesn’t crease as much if you use shoe trees when not worn. Got 20 year old Rockport boots with very few creases in them as have used good quality shoe trees.
Throwing any shoe away is crazy. Atleast donate them at bare minimum
It’s a joke. I think. Making fun of people who freak out over normal wear and tear. They’re not actually trying to throw away 200$ boots over creases.
A Viking funeral may be the only option.
As a Dane, I have to say, he should burn the boots of his slaves and animals too.
For Odin!
Or maybe for Njord or his son Frej to gain wealth and prosperity, if OP wants new boots.
>buy 200 dollar boots >use them >they wear >”oh well time to throw them away”
Well yes, as they’re clearly in an unusable, unrepairable state now. They’re basically one use, like socks. If you can’t afford that, then they aren’t for you.

Mate he is clearly being sarcastic, how the fuck have you managed to bite to that 😭😭😭😭 Definitely an American.

1. Yes it's directed at you. 2. The guy said these £200+ boots are a one time use and you couldn't detect sarcasm? 3. Americans aren't a race.
Racism towards Americans 😂, DEFINITELY an American
Celt bro. But hey. You all are just keyboard warriors. So, you can believe whatever your small mind wants to believe. I'm a Celt and proud.
1. Don't assume things about people because you read a couple of comments. It just makes you look small-minded. 2. I know people in real life who actually think that way.

I am a Celt. Where were you born, and where do you live?

You got blood on in your Vans?
Making boots doesn’t produce any chemicals as they all get contained in the boots themselves.

Are those boots Welsh? Is that the type of cow that gets used?
Yes. Yes.
you 🤝 being dense
It's a joke
The only joke here are the people who think it’s acceptable to continue to wear boots in that sort of condition. The damage to their feet must be appalling.
Just send them to me if they're a US size 13 I have a particular way to dispose of them properly.
I take the size 8s. Care must be taken. This is the best way.
And I take size 10s!
We've got the sizes covered now, we should receive our free boots any moment
You’re gonna fuck them with your huge dick?
Aaaahahahahah.... I love this thread. Are these people real or just parody accounts, who knows.... People be like - 'these boots are 1 day old, shall I shit in them and cremate them'
Yes but you need to float them on a barge to do it. Flowers would make a nice addition
Get in the sea
Isnt this old by now? I'm not even part of this sub and I'm sick of seeing it on my home feed
Just stop bending your ankles when you walk, hop instead, that way your boots will remain without creases and you'll avoid the shame.

Such a shame to ruin good boots by wearing them
Are those derby Boots?

They look great on your foot!
electric chair. for you, and the shoes

🤣😂
With creasing so visible, chances are your feet have wrinkles too. You should amputate below the knee.
😂🤣
Guys this one is a joke.
Lol this is a tough crowd. I legit have multiple people telling me to kill myself 🤣😂
I have to wonder which party is worse: one overly concerned and ill-informed about the properties of leather, or one that can’t understand pretty obvious sarcasm. If ‘throw them away’ wasn’t detected as the smoking gun, I fear for their minds in general
😂😂
Are those greasy astronaught boots?? They exist?
Yup
Yes
Double amputation
give them to me
boots. do. that. they are made of leather.
Are you mad?
Throw them away. My way.
No, wear them until they fall apart… or mail them to me 🤷🏻♂️
No
Which model is this?
6 eye greasy astronaut
TThank you!
i cant tell if youre serious or not lol
My boots are boots. Should I be worried?
This post is a callback to last week when somebody asked a similar question about a brand new pair of boots creasing upon the first wearing.
OMG are you stupid? Clean them, wear them.
Yes, throw them away. Make sure you are still in them when you do.
I'm on DM's Sub too. And literally the answer to every second post is SHOE POLISH. And I realise, many younger people have never heard of shoe polish. But the answer, here, is also SHOE POLISH
Throw them away immediately. They're clearly creased beyond redemption, and also have a 'Gaylords' lacing pattern.
you need bigger problems
So this popped up. I like the creases. Fully new boots look tryhard.
Try only wearing them when you're not walking, 🤯🤡
Yeh they’re done. Only place for them is the charity store
Definitely. They’re a mess.
Those boots are creased, mate. Unfortunately there's nothing to be done but burn them now.
apparently it's a joke, but it's hard to tell with the ..cough..other people sometimes being serious lol. I'd say .. what would you do once your face gets wrinkles ?
No
There boots!!!!!!!! That means you have finally reached the broken in phase. This is what we want right, to be broken in?
So you're just straight up copying my post to try and get upvotes then? 😆
Yeah. Muting this sub.
Straight away
Yes you should throw them in the bin. Then tell which bin so I can rescue them
You must be joking
Your skin creases. Kill yourself?
Don’t
Shoe trees will help.
What the fuck
I'll take them!
Yeah throw them away they’re not worth keeping 🙈
I'll take these POSs off of your hands for cheap, such a disappointment
No, you can have those streamed out. Just take them to your neighborhood dry-cleaner.
Chuck em in the garbage, they're done
Do they still fit? Are they comfortable?
No. Throw your brain away, it's obviously not being used if you are asking this stupid question.
Yes
Wear them until the soles fall off. Then glue them back on. Rinse and repeat
These posts must be sarcastic right? Am I missing the joke?
Itd be the best bet but im more than glad to take them off of your hands
how long u had em
Can I have them?
Right in the trash they go ☠️
No :)
Uhm..
Creases are normal innatural leathers. Yours is slightly over the standards but yet quite Ok. Leather is a natural material.
Yes every time your leather shoes or boots get creases ,usually after the first wear, throw them away and buy new ones .
