With today&#8217;s more relaxed dress codes where shirt-tie-jacket and suits are not required, the confident, secure men are exploring more with different footwear, including cowboy boots.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Lucbrowngoat01-300x265.jpg?resize=300%2C265\" alt=\"Lucbrowngoat01\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Lucbrowngoat01.jpg?resize=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Lucbrowngoat01.jpg?resize=150%2C133&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Lucbrowngoat01.jpg?resize=340%2C300&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Lucbrowngoat01.jpg?w=679&amp;ssl=1 679w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I have blogged A LOT about men&#8217;s worries, fears, or over-abundant concerns about what other people may think about a guy wearing cowboy boots to work.  I have said before, and will say again, &#8220;man up and get over it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To clarify, I am NOT talking about being overly expressive with boots, such as tucking your pants into them, or choosing boots with high heels, extremely narrow toes, or with leathers dyed in bright colors.  Just &#8220;normal&#8221; boots, well-shined, regular walking heels, worn with pants over them.  That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>A man who wears cowboy boots to work expresses himself as an individual who is his own man and doesn&#8217;t worry about what the fashion queens may say.  He is secure in himself. He knows what he&#8217;s doing.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than repeat myself, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=2060\" target=\"_blank\">read this post on this blog<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?cat=40\" target=\"_blank\">see real examples of boots that I have worn to work<\/a> in a professional office.
