Well, after Googling 'men in high boots' and reading this forum, I took the plunge this afternoon and treat myself to a pair of boots. I must admit to always being envious of the choice women have in their footwear; all us guys seem to have is either shoes or trainers.

Anyhow I found a pair this afternoon that fit perfectly around the calf, and are super comfy to wear. They were in the womens section, but are pretty androgynous with a small cuban-esque heel.

Getting a picture wasn't easy, but let me know what you all think....

I have been wearing knee boots for 15 years - I buy them from a store called Varda in NYC. The boots are leather lined and zip to the knee. Has anyone had positive comments on their boots from their wife or girlfriend?

I have a pair of Margiela knee high boots, and I love them. I always wear them with my pants tucked in; however, I don't get to wear them very often because it too hot where i live.

Your looks are nice.....I agree, I prefer the boots with black.

Hello, I wear knee high boots. I'm male and have been on and off since 2009/10. As its getting colder now I've been wearing them again, I like to keep my shins warm but also love wearing them. Just yesterday I was rocking a pair of super stretch skinny fit blue denim jeans and my dark brown Dublin River walking / outdoor knee highs and ended up in a conversation with a woman at a cafe about them - she really wished she could get her husband to wear a pair, as well thinking about buying some for herself. I also like wearing them with baggy jogging pants like tucked in - those Soulcal ones or whatever they're called. I do also have two pairs of Gallop 'Huntley' mens riding boots in black and dark brown, the zips at the rear of the boot for easy fit, I wear with skinny fit jeans tucked in.

I guess if you have the legs for them you can pull it off. I'm 5ft 8 and slim, at 35 I get mistaken for being in my 20s (a blessing if you have lots of things going on in life - it hides it well) My view is men originally wore knee highs far longer than women so why not? I used to get funny looks and comments at college and it did annoy me. I do also get looks from women and men in a more complimentary / envious way, some make nice comments too. I can tell some women wonder where I've got them from i.e. they like the look of them. I found this forum and other links indicating mens fashion wish to make it a trend interesting. I also found this article interesting because it seems a lot of women wish more men would wear them and that other men also like wearing them...I think those who smirk or laugh at a man wearing them is actually jealous or lacking confidence to wear them really...

Given the way the weather is today, I'll be wearing a pair today, another practical aspect is you can trapse through the rain puddles without any fear...

I've wrote an article about it on my blog: http://graphicstoysandmusings.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/im-apparently-a-fashionista/ as its an interesting topic...

Hey guys do you notice that almost all boots we wear are black boots? I also ordered some pairs of brown boots and I think they are good as well. Anyway, I like black boots better. And most boots we wear are PU boots right? Seldom suede boots. I have to admit that I like PU boots better but I think suede boots are attractive as well. How about wearing wedge knee high boots or high heel boots? Want to know your answer...
