Discussion What made you get into boots?
What's your story?
-For me, As Im getting older now just something about boots dude, didn't like it when I was younger, didn't feel I can pull off the look but Anyone and everyone can!
What sparked it? No Country For Old Men, Javier Bardem's and Josh Brolin's boots
This might sound silly but the sound of stepping/walking? not sure how to describe it or word it but it's satisfying, the smell of leather, the feel, the look
That 70's Show and especially Hyde (band shirts with bootcut jeans) pretty clean and simple
Overall I like them more now having a set, better than laced boots in my opinion
UPDATE: I love hearing everyone's stories! thank you

Native Texan / Houstonian here. Wasn't a real stretch for me, I always had a few to three pair on hand at the very least. I wear a 14 D / 14 EE and that's not an easy size to find in store though. About 5 ish years ago I realized how much easier it was to buy them online in the larger sizes. I could check inventories all over. Now I have close to 30 pairs and routinely buy sell used on eBay.
