Both are fine by me ngl. Neither of these shoes are designer btw.
I mistook the boots as docs and the shoes are Nike... I'm layman level though, and there does appear to be a difference between designer and branding that I don't fully understand... Though it appears to be even though you may recognize the brand, the brand itself may not be designer (is that about right? You obviously know more than me, so feel free to tell me I'm wrong!)
doc Martins are kinda crap quality these days tbh. Go with Red Wing or other midrange gy welt boot. Check out Rose Anvil on YouTube for quality boot reviews.
For sure, they're just the first thing that comes to mind when I see a generic looking boot lol thanks for the tips! Definitely checking out rose anvil tonight!
Yeah, his content has so much detail, I love it.
I dont recognize the brand, but those boots are a common design. If built with even the worst leather, they will tackle anything and last years. (Lifetime, only if its top notch).
In my mind, and I dont own any, designer shoes are literally designer. Not mass market. Inside the shoe it's gonna say not only the designer's name but the number of this item in the batch, because they are handmade. Think runway, red carpet, etc.
Department store brands, led by a designer and their assistants, are a wonderful value but not the same thing.
Oh I see! That's far fancier than anything I've really ever even imagined lol i thought Louis Vuitton was designer but that would mean the designers name is just the brand... Which is interesting to see! Thank you for enlightening me!
