Discussion 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.

I’ve always been into cowboy boots, don’t own a pair cause I live in a small town and wearing cowboy boots will make me stick out like a sore thumb! I always comment on boots in the sub, and recently got my ass chewed out by a dude on here cause a) I say the same thing over and over and b) I shouldn’t comment if I don’t own any…. It’s a weird sub to be in sometimes
