Thread: Boots

I unfortunately don't really get much of a choice when it comes to my boots to wear at work... this is about the extent of what my feet see boot wise most weekdays (and allot of weekends too!) Comfy but not too stylish...

I remember as a kid watching the movie, Romancing the stone, with Michael Douglas and Kathleen turner. Michael Douglas's character goes after a crocodile that bites off the bad guys hand while hes holding a huge emerald. He catches the croc, gets the emerald out of him and has a pair of boots made out of the croc. Ever since that movie I've always wanted a pair of croc boots or alligator boots. They look pretty sweet!!!

IIRC, I believe it was at a Mexican airport, there was a high end custom boot making guy. He had a few gator boots. I checked them out and of course they were an astronomical price.

I still want my Gator boots!!!!
Any of you guys own some Gator or Croc boots???

Aww c'mon don't be like that, I am sure you are man enough to pull them off and not look like a cowgirl, provided you stay away from gingham shirts and Denim hotpants. FYI I am indeed a bastard, was born out of wedlock father a priest (either catholic or C of E, can't really remember, don't really understand all the flavours of Christianity and frankly dont want to) Bet you weren't expecting that.:-)

Thanks to the power of google, I can confirm - Roman Catholic.

At least they're decent boots! When I was in the army it was the old 'AB' boots and then the old GPs. They were a terrible boot!

Oh for goodness sakes, you just don't know when to stop, do you? So, tell me, what's wrong with denim hotpants!?!
I had my little heart set on some real nice ones with some real purdy embroidery...

Well Carl I don't understand why when you have one of the best boots to be found anywhere RM Williams Aussie made boots why would you want anything else,?

I don't really LIKE RMs, and they're a bit common here. Italian boots when you live in South Australia is so much more interesting than just another pair of RMs...

But now my whole new dilemma is what colour trousers? The two ladies at work I asked about the boots said in their opinion they looked fine; but said not with grey trousers. One said black and I'm SURE brown boots with black trousers is heresy, but maybe I just don't know anything. Now I'm getting all depressed about the whole deal, esp as the Aussie dollar seems to be committing a slow suicide...

I have trouble opening the link to the Italian cowboy boot.

Have you considered a US made one instead?

I've had cowboy boots from both Justin and Tony Lama and they have all been of great quality.

Provided you've got the bod for it, then why not. Just don't wear the gingham shirt too, unless you like daisy duke styling.

Chin up old boy.
From my mod days when I actually took a lot of effort with clothes, this is what I remember:
1- belts, shoes, bags and other leathergoods should be the same colour, particularly belts and shoes.
2- black and brown do go together, usually.
3- rather than grey would go with beige trousers.
4- colour families are your friend.
5- grey leather is not good.
