This is my ongoing series of posts that list the boots that I wore during the past week to give you an illustration of what boots a man who only wears boots (and has a large boot collection) chooses. Over the last 8 days, I wore 20 pairs of boots.
Here goes…

I am trying to make a weekly post to demonstrate how boots in a large collection are worn. Following are how, when, where, and why I wore 15 pairs of boots during this past week:

Someone asked me the other day, as he looked at a pair of boots that I was wearing, “don’t you have any normal boots?”
Hmmm… what did he mean by that?
Rather than get upset or angry, or say something that I might regret later (especially since this guy works where I work and I see him regularly), I thought for a moment and said,

This past week, I wore many different pairs of boots in my boot collection. I firmly believe that boots are to be worn, and wear them I do! During the last seven days, I wore these boots for the following activities:

Yesterday, I had to get to work extra early … had a response requirement. That happens sometimes and is the nature of my job.
I had time to check the weather forecast… the day would be partly sunny, no rain, and it was above freezing.
So this biker pulled on his…

Ahhh… our early Spring tease weather has arrived. Yesterday and today, the weather and roads were cooperative, and I was able to ride to work. What gear did I wear to keep me warm as well as protect my shirt/tie & dress slacks? Have a photo? Come see…

I enjoy a large variety of boot styles, and have a number of cowboy boots (and some motorcycle boots, too) with exotic skins like ostrich, python, and rattlesnake. I have some boots that are colorful and have fancy inlays.
Most of the guys where I work know that, and I see them checking out my boots each day. Most don’t say a word, or if they do, they often pay a compliment.
So it was amusing to me yesterday that one of the guys looked at my boots and said, “just plain boots?” with a degree of incredulity. What boots was I wearing?

Today, February 26, there is snow in the forecast. In fact, it was falling as I drove in to work.
Having several top-level meetings today, as well as having to drive to an airport this afternoon to pick up a professional colleague, then drive him into the city to his hotel and have a business dinner, I thought carefully about what boots to wear that would fit today’s dress requirements.
The boots had to …

Questions about whether men should wear boots instead of dress shoes with a suit or businesswear (shirt & tie) continue to drive many visitors to my website page on wearing cowboy boots. [Update: this link was broken when posted; it is now fixed. Sorry!]
Half of the thousands of visitors that search engines drive to my website are looking for results to these fundamental questions:
The simple answers to all of these questions can be summed up…

Being a guy, I try to minimize inconvenience while doing double-duty.
These days, I have to dress for work — nice slacks, dress shirt, and occasionally even a necktie when I have meetings with the boss’ boss’ boss, which lately tends to be several times a week.
I also have a legion of senior pals who I look after by stopping by their homes on my way home from work to do random odd jobs and minor home repairs which sometimes involve working in dirty situations (basements, under cabinets, and crawl spaces.)
Since I do not bring a change of clothes to work with me (being a guy who doesn’t use a gym, I have no reason to bring a gym bag), I find other ways to handle the situation of wearing suitable boots to wear in my office while also doing double-duty as acceptable work boots for my after-work chores. How am I booted?
