Are Cowboy Boots For You
April 14, 2010 By 24 Comments
not sure if someone already asked this, or made a similar comment about this. I am from and currently residing in Texas where western dress is a very important part of our culture. In fact my most expensive pair of shoes are a pair of Lucchese boots. although I understand your love for loafers and dress shoes, do you think a pair nice pair of cowboy boots are appropriate with a suite or a pair of slacks and shirt that would be for formal occasions? Its not an armani suit and boot color matches
it’ s no country for old men
On the chukka boot do you think this would be ok. I am not in the wedding party but my step son is getting married thank for you thoughts-ps nice lady
i go to school at auburn and a lot of people wear them here.
Clothes are no simply about functionality. I think cowboy boots have a great shape and can add an attractive shape to legs in all trousers, especially jeans. We don’t have ranches in London but I see lots of guys in cowboy boots and they look good. Wearing cowboy boots outside of Texas is not the same as wearing a pair of shorts to a board meeting or a burkha in a synagogue. One good rule to go by: if you think it looks good on you, then go for it.
Hey topdog, thanks for the support. This was intended to be a light and fun look at my perspective. But some people get quite upset about this topic. I went to his site and sure enough…foot fetish. They have the biggest problem with this video. Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with a love for feet and shoes, but that they take it personally.
I agree , I live in Michigan but originate from Texas, my uncle wears cowboy boots all the time,they do look great, but he is living in TX that really is the norm, but everywhere else in especially up here in Mi cowboy boots look out of place…but when i eventually get back to TX i will get myself a pair..to those of you that are mad about his cowboy boot comment you really need to leave and venture out to other places to see what he is saying
you really should not say anything about boots if you dont know what your talking about , just say you dont care for them not tell everyone its wrong to wear them
leave the fashion to Joan Rivers
humm i guess you never been anywere , A nice well made dress cowboy boot looks perfict with a suit
Sounds good, but I don’t live in NYC. But thanks for the assumption!
Typical NYC fashion response to something that didn’t originate in NYC. Amc, try actually wearing a pair of cowboy boots for a month and see what you think. try actually investigating the process that makes cowboy boots. Try actually getting outside of Manhatten other than flights to La, etc. Try actually driving a car through one of those states you always fly over, and you’ll gain some valuable perspective. Otherwise, stick to breathlessly discussing why SJP’s outfits are so desirable…
I am not trying to start a career on Youtube. I have a nice career in real life doing exactly this. I apologize if you were offended, please take my advice with a grain of salt.
cowboy boots can be worn anywhere on anyone. i live in manhattan and see hot guys wearing them all the time. you are so mis-informed. shut up and talk about what you think you know. style experts are supposed to give advice on what a wearer has in the closet and work with it. you sre obviously trying to start up a carreer on you tube…..more power to you…just please be cautious of who you may offend.
Cowboy Boots are the Best Mens Footwear ever invented. They last forever as long as you don’t buy a cheap pair. They look AWESOME with jeans and with a suit. In fact they give a man a finished look and you don’t have to see wrinkled socks. I get so many compliments when I wear them ! Especially American Lucchese Cowboy Boots or the Euro. Cowboy Boots called SENDRA! They are so comfortable to wear after a short break in period.I’ve worn them while Living in New York and wear them now in Chicago!
Love your fashion advice, keep up the good work. Don’t worry about the negative comments, there’s just no way to avoid some of these idiots on youtube.
BS,Women love men in cowboy boots,no matter if they’re wearing jeans or a suit,however when I dress up in a shirt and tie,I will only wear dress shoes,especially when I’m wearing a suit!!
You are the one who did a search and watched my video….So relax! I would love to hear your definition of “exotic foot wear” is.
Let’s not forget our friends up North in Calgary Canada
No,it’s not unprofessional.cowboy boots can be worn in business environments,especially in Texas!!!
Now I am a complex person when it comes to clothing and style look, One day you might see me wearing a suite then the next seem me wearing jeans and cowboy boots. Now with the Cowboy boots, I actually grew up around a farm and worked on one and was also an army brat. My family though has been farming and ranching for over 200 years. Now I would never wear cowboy boots with a 3 piece suite, give me a pair of Italian leather dress shoes for that
It’s ot the “jerks” who hate the look you should worry about, it’s the women.
Aaron is giving some solid honest advice and you probally look like a muppet in the suit and cowboy boots and very unprofessional if you are meeting business customes etc.
Keep up the good work tho Aaron
Dear WCD73:
Why are you posting the same comment 2 weeks in a row??? I saw the first comment you made, and now the second. Want to go for 3 times? Wear the damn boots bro!
I will wear cowboy boots anytime I feel like doing so,and if people do’nt like it well that’s just too bad!! I will wear my boots with a 3 piece suit and tie if I so desire!!!
If I want to wear my Dan Post boots with a suit and tie,that’s my business.ignore the jerks who hate the look!!!
