But as I have said all along, boots are to be worn, not eaten. I think a rabbi would approve.  (To answer the question &#8212; no big deal if the color of boots matches the pants. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=1417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See this previous blog post<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Cowboy boots look stumpy<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny3.jpg?resize=581%2C67\" alt=\"\" title=\"Funny3\" width=\"581\" height=\"67\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny3.jpg?w=581&amp;ssl=1 581w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny3.jpg?resize=300%2C34&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny3.jpg?resize=150%2C17&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny3.jpg?resize=500%2C57&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/>I really have no words&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Cans about Boots<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnycans.jpg?resize=415%2C260\" alt=\"\" title=\"Funnycans\" width=\"415\" height=\"260\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnycans.jpg?w=415&amp;ssl=1 415w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnycans.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnycans.jpg?resize=150%2C93&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/>A demonstration once again that most people do not understand that the word in English, &#8220;can&#8221;, means &#8220;is it possible?&#8221;  YES, you CAN wear boots with a suit, slacks, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/gen\/bootkhaki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">khakis<\/a>, and to the office. You CAN mix colors of a hat, pants, and boots. (See above). What these questions demonstrate is both curiosity as well as fear of not conforming to unstated norms. Heck with conformity! Wear boots!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Do Cowboy Boots Look? &#8212; on Suits?<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny4.jpg?resize=551%2C67\" alt=\"\" title=\"Funny4\" width=\"551\" height=\"67\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny4.jpg?w=551&amp;ssl=1 551w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny4.jpg?resize=300%2C36&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny4.jpg?resize=150%2C18&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funny4.jpg?resize=500%2C60&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/>Last I checked, cowboy boots do not look at anything. However, the guy wearing cowboy boots with a suit will see many looks of admiration from guys who are afraid of what other people may say and cower in fear while wearing dorky dress shoes.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Dos about Boots<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnydos.jpg?resize=411%2C317\" alt=\"\" title=\"Funnydos\" width=\"411\" height=\"317\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnydos.jpg?w=411&amp;ssl=1 411w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnydos.jpg?resize=300%2C231&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnydos.jpg?resize=150%2C115&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Funnydos.jpg?resize=388%2C300&amp;ssl=1 388w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/>The &#8220;Dos&#8221; are a combination of serious questions as well as silly. As I said above, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/how\/howto.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YES, guys DO wear boots with dress clothes to work<\/a>. Real men DO wear boots (always better than fake men, I think).  Work boots DO look better with jeans than, say, a business suit. And no, you DO NOT need to be a cowboy to wear boots!  <\/p>\n<p>Some of the serious &#8220;do&#8221; questions answered: 1) python skin is more fragile than leather. 2) if your jeans will not fit over boots, then your jeans taper too narrowly &#8212; get straight-leg Wranglers to resolve this problem. Don&#8217;t cut your jeans!  3) Most guys do not wear silver tips (called &#8220;rands&#8221;) on boots. Boots with rands these days are usually the cheap kind made of plastic.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this view of what searches done by Americans bring to my website.
