Riding boots on guys?

Afanasi · 01-02-2009

I'm secretly waiting around waiting for them to come into style.

giorrie · 01-02-2009

My last show I used riding boots for men, I love them

fashionista-ta · 01-02-2009

I don't see why not, guys have been wearing them for centuries

And they must be available, for their actual purpose ... I believe we have a thread about this that luckyme started (she's an equestrienne) ... should be in the Shoes forum.

Awesome. I notice that they appear in a lot of scifi films -- star wars...aaannddd...well, can't think of others at the moment. But they always look pretty good, on equestrians as well. But I don't like the rest of the traditional equestrian look as much..

Why do you have to wait for them to come in style first before you wear em?

Afanasi · 01-02-2009

Good point. Though I almost sort of wish other people wore them too, I like to see how good people look in them. One of these days I'm going to find the perfect pair of them too..

nego00 -- the second pair. the knee-high type is just fantastic.

[vogue] · 01-02-2009

I love it too! But I'm not sure if I would have the guts to rock them!

Where's that second pair from?

nego00 · 03-02-2009

RL of course!

[vogue] · 04-02-2009

Thanks! I want the Zegna one!

I like the look. Personally I have quite large calves from biking so I think in my size I would be out of luck or need something custom.

It can be nice

The ankle boot option should work for you though ... many women have the same issue with full-length boots ... I believe we have around here somewhere a thread with solutions
