Hi Alex, I've been wondering why men didn't wear knee-high boots for a long time and I was in pain. Because I love to wear boots very much. I've wore boots and go out for many times and spend times watching people's reaction. Then I learned it's all about fitting. Regular people's mind were twisted by fashion industry, lecturing to people that men should not wear tall boots. And the gay community as some of them likes to wear leather and boots. I am not trying to offence gay, but we have to accept that this is part of the reality. There are still a lot of people not feeling comfortable around gay, don't know about other country, at least I think in China people still needs some time to accept. They won't do anything but when they think I am gay they will give me the stare when they saw my boots although I am not gay. Then I started to try different styles and found out that classic and vintage look with tall boots fits really well. In fact I am trying to promote guys wearing tall boots in China. I think boots are elegant and comfortable in winter

It always seems to take some men longer to catch up with fashion, and the majority of men don't even bother. I'm glad that some of us, both gay and straight, are pushing the fashion envelop -- little by little -- so that men can enjoy wearing different items and not just be regulated to suits and oxfords.

When I was a teenager in the 1980s :blushing: here in the US it was considered cool if you were a guy with an earring, but only one and on the left side; if it were on the right side people thought you were gay -- the funny thing is in the UK it was the opposite: if you were a guy it was cool to have an earring on the right-side only and gay if on the left (I learned this when I was reading an interview with a rock singer named Corey Hart from the UK who had an earring in his right ear and the magazine was asking about it). Now guys have piercings in both ears and more! :D

Just keep wearing what you like to wear because eventually society will catch up.

Hello,

Im just starting wearing high knee boots under pants (bought them second hand),
but i like to wear them now over pants,

so im looking for buying some men boots, but its hard to find knee high or overknee boots.

So is there a big different if you buy women boots (just plain, without decoration) and wear them (im hetero, but just like high boots)
Or better go only for the men riding boots, like this?

Also i like the brown more than the black, and whats max allowed high of the heels?

Can you give your thoughts about this boots? all for over pants if needed?

Hi Guy,

Bootsandwoods is no doubt the best choice. They have a full range of men's knee high riding and fashion boots. The design looks exotic. Plus there are quite a few positive comments from the previous purchasers. I would say those boots have withstand the test of the market. Although their price may be a little high. For me, as long as it has good quality, it is totally worth it.

I don't think men should wear women's boots as their designs are too feminism. The forefoot area of women's boots are shorter than men's boots. That makes one's feet look small and slim. Plus the ankle of women's boots are always too narrow.

You can try different styles of men's knee high boots. My suggestion is, as long as the boot is not engineer/cowboy/motorcycle style, you can always wear suit pants or vintage wool pants with it (pls refer to my earlier post on page 26), especially when you wear riding boots. If the boots are in those style mentioned above. Jeans or leather pants will fit nicely.

Get a pair of boots and start wearing it mate! Share with us pics of your outfit here and let's discuss styles. Let's bring men's knee high boots back in the game!

looking at boots on line or everywhere, those with zip are generally just for women, but sometimes thare is a zipper also in men boots. Maybe, the zip needs when you want a shaped and contured boot on leg, while men boots are the most larger and straight and do not need zip to wear.

I understand your point Alen. Your point is actually true. I like it, I paid for it so its mine.

What I am saying is modern fashion boots are designed for different genders. Only traditional riding boots, cowboy boots, roper boots has no such different as they are originally designed for men. Nowadays fashion boots are designed for women. In order to emphasis body curve and foot shape of women, the fore foot area of the boots are designed to be more slim and shorter than men's boots, ankle area are designed to be tighter than men's boots. Even if it is wider fit. If men wear women's fashion boots, will make the foot looked smaller and more slim. Will make the men look famine.

Also, it is true it is lack of choice for men.....

Also I already search the internet, and its seems this the only forum about men wearing boots ( except a dutch site),
So it looks that so little people writing or talking about it, but i think a lot of men want to do it, but just keep it indoors.


Maybe this days try to wear them over jeans, and have a walk in the city.


But its true, women can wear everything from female shoes to real man shoes like combat, catterpilar work boots...
But when we wear something more female, they direct have a wrong thought fron m us, even it isnt.
