You can&#8217;t go anywhere on the &#8216;net without seeing an ad, or two or dozens, from them.  It seems that Tecovas is targeting the younger market, which is smart on their part.  Get young-uns into boots, and they will learn like I did that boots are far better than dorky dress shoes, even with dress clothes in an office.  <\/p>\n<p>For some people, the saturation and exposure of advertising that Tecovas is doing is&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n&#8230;highly annoying.  For others, the ads become background clutter and quickly disappear into ignorance.  But what guy can resist the images like the one shown above &#8212; great looking boots with straight-leg denim jeans stacked neatly on the boots.<\/p>\n<p>What really caught my eye though, and for which I give Tecovas lots of props is this one:<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tecovaskhakis.jpg?resize=495%2C673\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13315\" width=\"495\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tecovaskhakis.jpg?w=495&amp;ssl=1 495w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tecovaskhakis.jpg?resize=300%2C408&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tecovaskhakis.jpg?resize=110%2C150&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Tecovaskhakis.jpg?resize=221%2C300&amp;ssl=1 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/>&#8230; that shows up in my social media feed.  <\/p>\n<p>Showing a guy carrying a briefcase and wearing khakis with boots supports what I have been saying for many years:  yes, not only is it right, but perfectly acceptable for men to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/gen\/bootkhaki.html\" target=\"_blank\">wear boots with khakis at the office, school, or wherever his work brings him<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>I would love to see data from Tecovas on how their paid social media marketing is working for them.  I figure it is pretty good, but wonder if overexposure will sooner-than-later cause people to ignore the ads.  <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Thursdayrollup-300x300.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13316\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Thursdayrollup.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Thursdayrollup.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Thursdayrollup.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Thursdayrollup.jpg?w=306&amp;ssl=1 306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Oh well, I would much rather see the ads from Tecovas than some other ads, such as this one from Thursday boots (to the right). I know, it&#8217;s probably old-fart me that finds the image of skinny jeans rolled up over short boots to be less appealing.  But if it sells their product to the young-uns, I&#8217;m all for it.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  wear boots (always).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to give a tip of my Stetson to Tecovas Boots for being the &#8220;most out there&#8221; with saturated marketing campaigns for their boots.
