Man Boots

[Tank Girl]

marty is a stylish man

 

[milesy]

i have some jackboots, but rarely have the opportunity to wear them.

are you a crusty punk? all the crusties in basingstoke in the 90s used to wear them - if they weren't wearing german para boots. do you live in a converted bus? can you sell me some acid, please?

 

[killer b]

i'm not a crusty punk, damn you!

 

[milesy]

but can you sell me any acid?

 

[marty21]

marty is a stylish man

i wear it with boots, it's the only sensible option

 

[killer b]

but can you sell me any acid?

no. i ain't 16 anymore.

 

[milesy]

nor am i. so i don't think i should be buying acid anyway.

 

[Dr. Furface]

i've just found out - from Dr Furface PMing me to ask where i got my engineer boots from - that the place i ordered them from have actually sent the wrong ones. i knew the sole looked a bit different, but i hadn't realised it was an actual different STYLE!! oh dear. i'm such a muppet anyway, i like these ones better

Yeah, you got lucky there mate!

these aren't the bloody wooden clogboots you were telling me about are they?

 

[killer b]

certainly not! this is a jackboot:

 

[Pieface]

that's a welly.

 

[trashpony]

that's a welly.

Innit.

And that size comparison chart's wrong

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'm not sure I like the direction this thread is going. Fix it, Lionel!

 

[killer b]

a jackboot is basically a leather welly, so you aren't far off...

 

[Pieface]

terrible tan lines there, Lionel

 

[ChrisFilter]

terrible tan lines there, Lionel

He don't give a shit, he's got threads to save you fucking 'nana

 

[Pieface]

*looks around*

I can't see anything worth saving. You haven't any boots, Dub hasn't a peecoat, milesy's got the wrong boots and killer b has a pair of fucking wellies

 

[ChrisFilter]

Yeah, it's all pretty wank really isn't it

 

[milesy]

they were the wrong boots, but now they're the right boots!!

 

[Pieface]

That's called putting a "positive spin" on it

 

[milesy]

it's called the truth

 

[waverunner]

Did you buy the boots yet? Can't be arsed to read the thread but thought I'd say that cowboy boots look ridiculous. Unless you're a cowboy. In which case, fine.

I love these....http://www.jamesandjames.com/htmlfiles/shoefiles/wrangler/wm1527bn.htm

I have always loved boy's boots, its only recently I kinda came into my more feminine side..when I was 9 more then amy thing I wanted a pair of these.....http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/ishop/877/shopscr843.html

Then when I was 14 I went down camden town and bought some of these....

As an aside, a hot tip on the trainer front is 'Lakai' - they're the new etnies. You heard it here first.

But even an old fart like me has known about Etnies for two years - implying that they were, "like, soooo 2003"

Does that suggest that Lakai have already been supplanted at the cutting edge of the zeitgeist for Spring/Summer 2007.

I wear baggy jeans and skate shoes during the summer but over the winter (simply to keep my feet dry) I turn my baggies up a bit (just cuase they dont 'gather' on the top of boots like they do on wide skate shoes) and wear a pair of boots.

I think these are the ones I'm wearing at the moment

Personally I like the baggies and boots look but at the end of the day, during shitty winter weather it comes down to function over fashion for me...

Dear Men,

What boots do you have?

I'm normally a skate trainer kinda guy, but I'm hankering after a decent pair of boots. I'm not gay, but what's really getting my mouth watering is a pair of cowboy boots. Unfortunately the ones I really want aren't sold in the UK, so postage will cost, but I might just do it. Here they are:

What boots have you got? What do you want? Am I mad for wanting cowboy boots?

Those are nice boots.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

My boots are like this, just not doc martens.
