There are so many things wrong with this…<\/p>\nThe other day I was using a search engine to look for information about — what else — opinions on men wearing boots, and saw the information shown below. I was taken aback, but not really shocked. Disappointed, more like it. Unfortunately, there are a number of self-described “style guys” who write content riddled with stereotypes and downright wrong information. See this:

\nThere are so many things wrong with this…<\/p>\n
* not all motorcycle boots are “aka” engineer boots.<\/p>\n * the image shown with the blog post is a short harness boot, not an engineer boot. Photo to the right is a real engineer boot<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stereotypes<\/strong><\/p>\n WTF? Not all motorcyclists are Hell’s Angels, and the words “attorneys who attempt to ride their midlife-crisis Harleys” are just BS crap from an author who thinks it is funny to further fulfill stereotypes and write ridicule. <\/p>\n * …”you can flaunt a pair…” Flaunt? Sounds like this blog author is a raging queen. I’d like to see him “flaunt” boots just once.<\/p>\n * …”toss them on in your downtime…” Actually, PULL them on all the time. Wear them to work and also during casual time. Motorcycle boots work well in all settings.<\/p>\n * …”and, of course, a leather jacket.” Well, I’m all for wearing leather jackets, but you can (and should) wear boots with all sorts of outerwear, including blazers and suitjackets. Try that, Mr. Flaunt.<\/p>\n I just encourage these style queens to man-up, pull on a pair of real men’s motorcycle boots<\/a>, and rock ’em with a pair of Wranglers, his own “fitted pocket T”, and a good-quality leather jacket.<\/p>\n Life is short: read past style queens’ wacky advice and wear boots. Real boots. Every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The other day I was using a search engine to look for information about — what else — opinions on men wearing boots, and saw the information shown below.

It is regretful that these self-described “style guys” generate a large following of readers and search engines point to their blog posts. As I have said on this blog before<\/a>, I see from my analytics data that the largest number of visitors to this blog are from people who are asking questions about whether they should wear boots<\/a> (at all and how to deal with feared ridicule), how to wear boots<\/a> (with dress clothes or whether to tuck jeans into them), and where to wear boots (such as to church<\/a>, to the office<\/a>, etc.)<\/p>\n
