Do we have any boot wearers in this thread? Looking for some advice on getting into the boot thing. I'm not convinced it's for me, but I'd listen to any thoughts people have on the subject.

You're all very nice, TIA.
Boots have close to a dozen posts earlier in the thread. [Reply]

You da man.
I found the Red Wing exchange, and those are what I have been looking at this morning. I think NewChief has it nailed, it's the lumbersexual thing. Imagine the complete opposite of that, and you have an idea of my style.
Not sure I can commit to pulling off boots as a daily part of my wardrobe. It just seems like something that looks good on some people, but not my small blonde haired self. [Reply]

I just got some The North Face hiking boots in black - I like them. I bought the Varvatos chukka's I'd posted - they're pretty cool - though I've yet to wear them even once. [Reply]

Yeah, the Red Wing Chukkas seem like something I could incorporate into my wardrobe, but the Iron Rangers NewChief posted about would require a little more tweaking of my current style to really wear well on a regular basis. [Reply]
I don't see any issue with them DGP - I doubt I'd ever get them, I don't LOVE them (no offense) - but they're conservative enough I'd wear them w/ the right ensemble. [Reply]
My problem is that those Chukkas might barely fly at my current job, the Iron Ranger types would never fly there.
It's very much a business casual / professional environment. I see guys on other floors who get a little more leeway with their wardrobes, they can pull off a lot more with the boot look.
So if I went with almost any boot, even these conservative ones, they would mostly be worn on nights/weekends. I'm not sure if I can make that investment for something I'll only wear, maybe, 20% of the time. [Reply]
