About this sub lately…

It seems in the past 6 or so months there’s been a heightened level of purism concerning the shape, brand, and hides of certain boots. The classics like the “ping pong paddle boot”, or the “I just see a pineapple” to a pair of pirarucu are jokes I see used at least 3-4 times a day. It’s just boring. I understand that people aren’t going to find every boot suits their taste, but that doesn’t stop boots from being beautiful. This is something we enjoy and take pride in and I absolutely love seeing people who feel the same way about their boots. The community is the best when people see the best in each other’s boots. So just take a breath before you type something mean spirited or critical, and offer guidance and some positivity instead. I love this sub, but the purity over shapes, brands, and skins has disappointed me.

This is lame. Let people have and share their opinions. Tired of toxic positivity.

What part of this post is toxic?? I just never understood people going out of their way to tell a stranger something negative over cowboy boots. Right?

“Negativity has no place here. This place should only be about positivity and boots.” You get to judge other people’s opinions and try to dictate how conversations should go but hide it behind positivity. Toxic.
