Wherever you please.  Cowboy boots look good with Wranglers, especially.  But they also work with business clothes.  Even suits.  Yes, men wear boots with a variety of attire, from casual to dressy.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TJNA1Y6XvdI\/AAAAAAAACh4\/GDK2FAidN5M\/s1600\/Suited.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 320px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TJNA1Y6XvdI\/AAAAAAAACh4\/GDK2FAidN5M\/s320\/Suited.jpg?w=584\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517825254423510482\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>As shown, I wore a pair of dress cowboy boots to an interview for a job.  Yes, the boots were noticed, but in a nice way.  The boss complimented me on them.  But he and the interview team were much more concerned with what I brought to the company and how I would be able to do the job.  They didn&#8217;t care what was on my feet.  So if you have concerns what people would think about you wearing boots in the workplace: forget about it.  <i>It really doesn&#8217;t matter<\/i>.  Those type of concerns are in your head.  Get over it.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of guys in places other than the traditional locations where cowboy boots are worn more regularly by men &#8212; as in the U.S. Southwest &#8212; wear cowboy boots.  That is if they are confident, secure, and don&#8217;t have hang-ups about other people&#8217;s perceptions. <\/p>\n<p>As I so often say, issues about where to wear cowboy boots are more in the head of the one asking that question than actually among those who the person sees on a day-to-day basis. <\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  have confidence to be secure enough to wear boots where you like, and with clothing suited what you&#8217;re doing &#8212; going to work, out to eat, visiting friends, shopping, or whatever.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another amusing question entered into Google and directed to my website: &#8220;Where to wear cowboy boots?&#8221; The person was from Connecticut, in the northeastern United States, where cowboy boots are seldom seen.
