Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Those "modern male" ....

Casual / dress shoes that imitate work boots are gay.

I really don't care much for shoes. I wear them when I have to.

I've seen some of those yeezy

They remind me of the pork dumplings at the
chinese buffet next to the sesame green beans

Those don't look too worked in to me. Look darn, near new.

I didn't own dress shoes until I was 25. When we dressed up when I was younger, we wore our nicer soon-to-be work boot Red Wings (Pecos, I think) or nice cowboy boots.

I've owned the shoes the OP mentions and ABSOLUTELY loved them. Comfortable like tennis shoes but you can wear them with a suit.

With that said, my wife decided to sell all of our clothes a couple of years ago, and I haven't replaced the shoes. I have some ostrich belly cowboy boots I've been wearing in place of dress shoes since and like them just fine with a a suit and if needed, tie, both of which are increasingly rare for me despite owning two barely worn suits.

If I were wearing suits more like I had to when I was young in the business world, I would 100% wear the shoes mentioned by the OP.

But, don't take my advice for it in that I have NO fashion sense. I mostly wear hiking boots, cargo shorts, what-ever long-sleeve shirt is cheap at tractor supply plus a cowboy hat these days. I basically dress how I wanted to, but my mom wouldn't let me, when I was five years old. I even wear this get-up to church and business meetings these days.

I have one pair of PF flyers high tops, I've worn them maybe 5 times, I wear boots and mainly a 35 yr old pair of ostrich skin ropers that have been resold 4 times.

You are a true renaissance man.

The girls used to paint my toenails once in a while.

I liked orange glitter.


I probably don't have to tell Skeen what I would receive as trade....

I wouldn't wear those. My feet don't need that kind of attention, nor do I.

I wouldn't look good in skinny jeans, so that's a double "no way!".

Had to look up "welts"....

Just bought a pair like the op posted about yesterday and fitted for a new suit. New position requires I stash the thorogoods under the desk most days.

I wear sneakers around the house and house shorts till I get ready for the day.
You all have seen pics of my awesome dr schols wally world clearance sneakers.👍🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😄😄😄😄

Wear work boots, blue Jean's, and a tee shirt earth tone colors anytime anyplace else.
DGAF about temp..
Dont wear shorts or sneakers or crocs out and about.

Been that way since about age 11 or 12.

"gotcha" I can get on that meanie Renegade50, and I'm gonna post it dangnabbit...


IDGAF...... and or YMMV

"Leather boots are still in style for manmade footwear."

Since when do guys give a crap what shoes other folks wear?

I wear whatever I want without regard to what anyone else thinks.

Football's still the roughest thing on campus and white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

You have webbed feet 😎

Not allowed on the 'fire...

Me too but I thank God I didn't grow up during the era of the "modern male."

You guys sound like a bunch of Amish.

I hope you aren't talking about my Hey Dude slip on shoes
