Looks great on you! Just remember that men have been wearing tall boots over pants a lot longer than women.

REYNALD0C · Dec 8th, 2008, 12:38 PM

YES! Riding boots!

Hi Rich and Drunk! I think the boots look great on you. I have been wearing flat knee boots for ages and I am surprised more guys do not choose that look - it really is a good look and works well for guys as well as girls. It really depends on how you look in them and how you carry it off. Some girls do not like the look but some love it. Individual choice I suppose. Keep the boots on!

KittyKat65 · Apr 18th, 2009, 05:48 PM

Not only do they look great on you, you OWN that look!!! F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!

The greatest irony is that boots, knee-high or not, were originally designed for men! I guess that it just doesn't seem that case now probably because the demand from women far exceeds the men.

Having said that, even if they weren't originally designed for men, you should wear something that you like & are comfortable in. It's your $$, spend it the way you want to!

I don't know if you are still visiting this thread, RichandDrunk, but in my opinion, your boots are nicer and you look better in them than the models' shots you posted. I particularly like how the boots work with your trench. Nice

(I don't care for the white jeans/shirt combo though, sorry)

Rich-and-drunk · Apr 19th, 2009, 10:52 PM

Yes, I am still visiting... and I love what you guys wrote...

And I wore them all winter long... but now they get a little too warm... ;D

Do you know any other guys wearing this kind of shoes? I'd be interested...

Hi there, I was just googling 'knee high boots for men' and found this forum site and had to join up. I am exactly the same, totally love flat knee high boots but sadly see them all lined up in the womens shoe shops!! Which SO frustrating!
However I didn't let that bother me to much and just purchased some anyway, I felt pretty uncomfortable and made out they were for my girlfriend. But when ever I get the chance I wear them (typically) under jeans and just love the feeling and look of them.
I now have 3 pairs that I wear but do keep this secret, I tried telling my partner, but she didn't understand so decide to keep it to myself.
I have no intention to cross dress or anything like that, but just love knee high boots. I am always on the look out for new styles, but hate the fact that they are actually womens boots.
I would love anyone's comments/thought's!

Rich-and-drunk · Aug 30th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Wait...you wear them under jeans?

I don't get that.... you love knee high boots... but you wear them UNDER your jeans? shouldn't they be worn OVER your jeans, like on my pics... ????

Was that a spelling mistake or are you serious?

shoppergrl · Aug 30th, 2009, 04:00 PM

The boots look great on you!

nicks, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a guy wearing knee high boots!! Who cares if they're women's shoes.

nicks · Aug 31st, 2009, 02:56 AM

Thanks Shopper Girl!!

And yes I did mean 'under' my jeans as I guess I'm too paranoid if someone saw me with my jeans tucked in it would certainly raise eyebrow's!! Remember where I live is a pretty small town and perhaps don't carry such open opinions like they may have in Germany or Santa Monica : ) you know??
