Wearing Boots in an Office

Posted on by

Lucblackgoat03Questions 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:

  • Can men wear boots with a suit?
  • Should I wear boots to the office?
  • What boots to wear with dress clothes in the office?
  • Can guys wear a shirt and tie with dress slacks and boots?
  • What are the best boots to wear to work in an office?

The simple answers to all of these questions can be summed up…

Black Jack Boots vs. Lucchese Classic Boots

Posted on by

Note: this post was updated June 21, 2016, noting a difference discovered over time in the comfort, or less thereof, of Black Jack boots.

I have seen now more than once the phrase, “Black Jack Boots vs. Lucchese” appear in searches that lead visitors to this blog. Since I own and wear both brands of these fine cowboy boots, I thought I would respond with my opinions about the comparison of these boot brands.

Few people are aware…

Wrong Boots

Posted on by

I am admitting — note it here and now — I selected the WRONG BOOTS to wear while at a conference last week.

I have no idea what I was thinking. Sure, I was distracted with worry about my spouse and having guests in the house while I was packing, but I really should have given two more minutes of thought before just picking out a couple pairs of boots and going to California.

What boots were wrong and why?

Boots Out of the Blue

Posted on by

Lucbcroper01It’s funny how a “bootman” like me gets new boots without even trying.

The other day when I arrived home, my spouse said, “your boots arrived.”

Me: “what boots? I didn’t order any boots.”

Spouse: “there’s a box by the door that looks suspiciously like the same size box as what boots would be shipped in. The sender was something like ‘cowboy’ or whatever…” as he gave me that quizzical look that he gives when he thinks that I know more about something and I’m not saying.

I opened the box and pulled out…

High Heeled Boots at the Office

Posted on by

Last year, my spouse bought me a pair of Legendary Cowboy Boots. Man, these are really cool-looking boots with 18-inch tall dark blue shafts, fancy stitching, and full quill black ostrich foot.

I wore these boots when we were married. They are very special to me. Very classy and good-looking. They go well with dress clothes or denim jeans.

On occasion, I wear these boots to work. Being a professional in a management position, I often have to dress up in slacks, dress shirt, & tie.
Legendaryoffice2These boots also have 2-1/2-inch (6.4cm) underslung riding heels. And those heels have become a problem when I wear these boots to work …

How Much of a Discount Offer Entices a Purchase?

Posted on by

As I was driving into work today, I was listening to the all-news radio station as usual. There was a story about how much of a discount people expect to be offered that actually get them to buy something.

This time of year, many stores and vendors are offering sales for Christmas. Since mid-November, I have received email after email from vendors that sell boots. Offers of 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, or more.

What amount of a discount motivates me to look? What amount gets me to consider a purchase?

Boot Shopping with the Boss

Posted on by

I posted a while back that my boss noticed that I wear boots a lot (te he) and that he expressed interest in getting a pair of boots for himself. I offered to go boot shopping with him.

Yesterday afternoon turned out to be the time for our shopping trip. I had to go to Virginia anyway to get something for my spouse that was out of stock in pharmacies closer to where I live in Maryland, so the timing worked out. My sister came over to stay with my spouse while I…
