I've looked for a 'boots' thread and can only find a 'shows' thread or a 'combat boots' thread so made a new one. Thinking about new boots at tax time. I have two pairs picked out, but Cindy says one pair looks like girls' cowboy boots. I say they're European styling and look a little 'Nordic' in style (though they are Italian). I'm pretty much set on getting both pairs; though together they'll cost me about 500.

So, tell me, do the Italian ones look like girls' cowboy boots?

I intend to wear the Italian ones with grey slacks, white shirt with French cuffs, mother of pearl cufflinks, brown belt, no jacket or tie. I intend to wear the Portuguese ones (the cheaper pair) with jeans, white shirt, tweed blazer, brown belt, no tie.

I have lately decided I very much like good quality boots; not the chunky worksite kind, just good old styled boots...
