(So much more useful than on your hands or head.)<\/p>\n<p>Reading between the lines, this person could be wondering whether to wear engineer boots with jeans tucked into them, so the boot shafts show, or with jeans over them.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to that query is, &#8220;it depends.&#8221;  Do you give a darn about what other people think and therefore you allow them to dictate what you want to do?  Well, if you answered yes, then put your boots on eBay and return to wearing crocs or other unsightly, silly footwear. Real men wear boots and don&#8217;t give a darn about what other people say (or not say, which is really the case.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?attachment_id=2912\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2912\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Bootsmap12.jpg?resize=330%2C350\" alt=\"\" title=\"Bootsmap12\" width=\"330\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Bootsmap12.jpg?w=330&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Bootsmap12.jpg?resize=300%2C318&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Bootsmap12.jpg?resize=141%2C150&amp;ssl=1 141w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Bootsmap12.jpg?resize=283%2C300&amp;ssl=1 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a>If you have tall engineer boots and you want to wear them with jeans tucked into them, then by all means, do so!  <\/p>\n<p>If you have short engineer boots, to be honest, they are usually worn with jeans over them.  They look &#8220;tough enough&#8221; with the engineer strap and boot showing, but (in my opinion), would look rather dorky with a short shaft showing, too.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to read the question is something that I hear fairly often &#8212; can a guy wear engineer boots even if he does not ride a motorcycle?  Answer: of course. Many guys do. They like the rugged, vintage appearance of the boots. Many guys choose to wear engineer boots as regular every-day boots and as an alternative to cowboy boots.<\/p>\n<p>Summary: if you like engineer boots, wear them on your feet. Wear them often. Enjoy. Stand tall, confidently, and smile.  Don&#8217;t let fear of what you <i>think<\/i> other people may say dictate your choices in what boots to wear or how to wear them. <\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  Be a man, be independent, and wear your boots proudly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, another internet search directed someone from Texas to my website who entered the question, &#8220;how to wear engineer boots men.&#8221; Answers&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineer-boots"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3449\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
