You CAN!  And you should!  Black is the most common color of cowboy boots (and motorcycle boots, too.)  It is a very classic color that goes with everything from blue jeans to a tuxedo, business suit, or khakis for business casual attire.<\/p>\n<p>Many men would like to wear boots, but feel odd or funny about doing so for various reasons.  &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to have what&#8217;s on my feet be a topic of conversation.&#8221;  Or, &#8220;men in my office wear dress shoes&#8211;not boots.&#8221;  Or, &#8220;black boots are too much of a contrast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These are rather flimsy excuses indicating, in my opinion, too much concern with what other people think.  My opinion?  Pull your boots on, stand tall, smile, and be a confident guy in boots.<\/p>\n<p>Photos below are some examples of black boots in my collection that I wear regularly &#8212; to the office, when I ride my Harley, or as I go about my daily business around town.  <\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  wear boots!  Black will do fine!<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
