Boots boots boots

[Malachi]

That's my worry too. I tend towards a more conservative style of dress, so I stick mostly to traditional tartan kilts, hose & flashes, etc. Even when I'm wearing my black UK, I just don't like the way I look with my old lace-up firefighter's uniform boots on. It's more of a cutting edge and tough look. I see myself wearing those (especially my heavy, fire-resistant boots) and I look like I'm spoiling for a fight (at least to my eyes). Problem is that those boots provide the best support for my bad lower leg. I just don't get that kind of support with my ghillies or other low-toped dress shoes that go well with the rest of my clothing style.

I thinking of the dress riding boots just because they are great support (actually going even higher on the leg) and are dressier than my other boots.



I'm just so worried about spending that much money on a pair of boots only to find that I don't like the way I look.

Maybe foxhunting boots instead. They have a neat "cuff" on top.



You wouldn't believe how much those darn things cost!

You know, those boots don't look bad at all. Are these all custom made? Have you looked for a place that retails them so that you could try them on while dressed as you want to be while wearing them? If that is possible that is what I would try.
