Thread: Boots

So that's a good start for the Libero boots. I was going to get a jacket as well from ASOS. Maybe not? The boots from ASOS look quite nice, Portuguese...

Is it your first time buying from Asos?

Yeah, why? Maybe you should PM me?

No, not at all. As I said, my friend loves buying his stuff from them, I don't think he ever has any trouble. I just don't think the items are very good, that's all. But maybe you could try it and then tell us what you think.

I shall....

Hi Carl
I wear boots everyday as much for orthopedic reasons as general comfort. My brand is Red Wing 8inch oil-tanned(they are made in Minnesota). With two pair they are alternated. They do not look as stylish as your intended but will last many, many years and come with lifetime warranties for eyelets, laces and stitching. I also have a 9 inch pair of insulated waterproofed that are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. My 6 inch Red Wings are for yard work.

Are you wearing boots for work? Why boots (non-cowboy) over shoes?

Yes, I wear them for work. I work in a prison so I want something very functional but stylish (I'm not an Officer (guard))... Plus I just like boots over shoes. Sometimes I get annoyed by shoes ands that gap that can occur between the top of the shoe and the ankle...

I think its the little buckle that does it, possibly a bit delicate looking, but nice none the less, I like the laceups, though would be nice if they had eyelets all the way rather than hooks at the top. I think the laceups are a more traditional look and would be my choice.
Do you have one pair of shoes for each outfit you own? :-)
Would be nice to be able to try them on too so you know they are a good fit.
Sorry Carl don't mean to be negative, if you like them get them, there will always be someone who will want to knock your choices so just go for it.
I have always liked an ankle boot over a shoe, but rarely have an opportunity to dress up, most of my time is spent in hi-vis, or shorts and thongs, what with work, gardening etc, did buy myself a new pair of mother if pearl cufflinks in broome recently though, so maybe style is in the way in in the house of Hewitt.

Form my experience if your partner doesn't like something you wear it doesn't end up worn very often :-)

How bout some custom RMW's Carl? Comfiest boots I have ever worn!

Out of the two options you have posted though, I think I like the ASOS ones better.
