Poll Cowboy Boots in the City (65 votes)

Yay 38%
Nay 62%

Recently i've had the urge to pick up a pair of cowboy boots, can't really say why but i think they're cool. The issue however is i am no rancher, i'm a well off Toronto born city boy and was concerned it may come off a bit odd to wear them in daily life. So my question is this, are cowboy boots acceptable wear in a non western city, yay or nay?

Sure why not. You probably have to get just the right shirt and blazer to go with it. Maybe like a dark sand red-brown or something, and I don't know about the pants. But yea dude go for it!

I think you have to be from an area where people wear cowboy boots to pull them off. I don't have a sense of fashion though, so who knows.

I feel like that would be as difficult as a fedora to pull off without looking like a douche.

Cowboy boots and hats are pretty silly. Most of the people around here aren't even cowboys, and if you ask them about it, you'll get some answer about how they respect the job and the culture and think it looks cool. A wise man once compared this phenomenon with like, fireman hats or something- wearing one of those around town would be just as silly as wearing the cowboy shit, but isn't exactly socially acceptable.

Then again, do whatever the fuck you want and don't care.

Just do it. I also think they look kind of cool on the right body type. I'm way too short for any kind of pointy footwear, it just looks goofy on me. I also think you need to consider what clothes you're mixing them with, I don't think they go with just anything.

But who knows. I'm just a videogamesman.

I've been wearing cowboy boots for over 25 years. I love them & don't give a shit what anybody says about them. I'm on the east coast too.

The neighborhood where I work in Chicago has a pretty large Mexican-American community with several Western-style clothing stores, so its not unusual to see guys in cowboy boots and hats.

I live in Nebraska and you can assume a lot of things about a person when you see them with cowboy boots on. They aren't usually good things.

If you are a cowboy, then yes. If you are not a cowboy, then no.

just ask yourself, "Do I want to wear cowboy boots?" if the answer is yes then wear cowboy boots. If the answer is no then don't wear cowboy boots.

Yeah I see lots of lawn dogs in cowboots. Rock the right flannel with it and you're good.

I doubt anyone would notice if you tucked them under your pants legs.

I dunno dogg; wear what you want, but I don't think that's a good look.

With all due respect to people who wear fedoras or trench coats, if you don't do it right, it could look like an awkward nerd affectation in the same way those often do.
