You know, standard Government pattern leather combat boots go perfectly with khakis, look more tasteful and will outlast any of those. Sorry, I'm not one for modern shoe designs.

You can get them used from $20, new from $40. I love mine, both pairs.

tasteful? :hahano:


If I had to choose, I'd say #4. I'm not a big boot fan though.

When covered by khakis, they look like normal black leather shoes. Much more tasteful then a collection of multi-colored fabric with crazy stitching. But hey, that's just me.

tasteful if you're about to pull a columbine :squint:


If I were to get "boots" that are for looks, I'd probably get something like these:

They're standard government issue with a high quality and a low surplus price to match. I'm not talking about tucking your pants into them and backpack bombing the local Starbucks.

The ones you posted look like the bastard child of a pennyloafer and a combat boot.:chuckles:
