Hi Marc,
those boots look great and combined with the right pieces they can complement an amazing look.
Regarding your question on wearing the boots, I'd like to tell you a little thing which happened last year when one of my colleagues saw me wearing tall boots for the first time:
He somehow wanted to say something funny and asked if I came to the office by horse and where it would be now. I just looked at him questioning and told him that it is not just one horse, but 170 (meaning the horse power of my car's engine). Since then there was no further remark or anything else.
So in my opinion it will be no problem if you are quick at repartee from the very beginning and are able to be above such things.
But anyway, if you do not try it you will never know. So just do it walk the catwalk of your life in your boots (and be happy about your warm and dry feet).

Thank you for your feedback, i will keep you inform. I'm waiting to know if they're still available.
I need size 11 in women size but my main problem is the width. I need extra wide and is also difficult for me to find guy shoes or boots that fit me.
I'm questionning my self to know if a extra wide for women is the same as for men.
Last thing, i live in Montréal Canada and i have to buy online cause the boots i've seen are in New York.
I will have to see their return policy.
Have a great Holiday season!

They look nice. I hope you can get them and that they fit comfortably. You might start a new trend at your school.
Hi Alex,They look nice. I hope you can get them and that they fit comfortably. You might start a new trend at your school.
I've seen your pictures with high boots next to your moto. You rock them well =)
Do you put your boots out in public and if yes, how do you feel and what's the people reactions?
Thanks!
Marc
Hi.
I'm really glad to have found this discussion! I'm a 49 year-old married man who has been into knee high leather boots for a very long time. Initially, I made my wife presents of various riding style knee boots over the years; she loves them and looks fantastic in them.
We both learned to ride 20 years ago, for which purpose I bought myself a pair of long black leather riding boots. Wearing them felt fantastic; I kept them highly polished and they looked really smart with cream jodhpurs. After each ride, I came to enjoy doing our grocery shopping still dressed in riding clothes before going home. No negative reactions were experienced, and with the rise of e-commerce and eBay in particular, I was able to move easily on to buying more long boots for everyday wear.
I started with calf- length pull on leather boots from Ralph Lauren, Dior and Gucci, wore these with skinny and slim jeans tucked in- including to the office on 'dress down' days. Again, no negative comments were received. This made me grow in confidence to wear what I want, not what others feel I should wear!
I still wear these boots, but now have the confidence to wear (and feel great in) knee length riding boots in public as part of my normal casual attire. My style is sort of vaguely steampunk/ vintage military anyhow.
NB- all my boots are designed to be men's boots, and sold as such. I an add some pictures if anyone is interested. Tall boots meant for guys are out there!

Hi guys!

I love those boots :

They're also a lot of other model.
I imagine wearing those boots inside my slim jean. Maybe i could wear a medieval look shirt and the look could be awesome :

It's so funny to have found the Renaissance style called the darknight.
I've finally found on to wear what i want.
Renaissance man where very stylish and masculin.
For today's man this style is more feminine.
But at least, those clothes are made to fit's men and look more masculine than today's women clothe.
So i imagine my self starting to look up for medieval clothes and boots and start to create my own hybrid modern renaissance look.
Have a nice Holiday season everyone!

Those look cool but are they for everyday wear or are they just made for special occasions like costumed parties and such? I've always wondered about shoes/boots that are made for costume wear and if they would be strong enough to wear daily?
Mountain Man, those are very nice. And they look comfortable too. If I understand your previous post you are the designer of these boots?
Today's look while walking around wearing my navy color boots.
