Must have not seen the Rose Anvil video where he cuts apart those overpriced Danner boots if there on this list.

Cowboy boots. Just get a pair of Luchesse boots. Classic design. Very well made. Get it in smooth leather in plain black or dark brown leather, croc, or bullhide. If you have the bucks, splurge on a pair of Caiman croc. Looks great with jeans or plain slacks and even a suit if you live in Texas.
Or get a pair of lace-up packers. A pair of Chippewa lace-up packers are classic. Tough, long lasting. You can go horse back riding, tromping in the woods, or just walking about town. Looks great with jeans.

Okay but they are right with Solovair>Doc Martens tho
Tecovas are kinda mid. I'd compare them to the red wings, or Chelsea, just for the aesthetic…yeah it worked that SINGLE time but….

Most people don't realize how low quality YSL (and most high-end fashion designers) boots are. For that price, you can have 2 pairs of a real boot, built 3 times better than those YSLs, and for less than $1000 a partially hand-built fiddle-size and much better leather like preview CF Stead Janus but If the logo is important to you, take the Celine or YSL but poor quality for the price

If you’re getting Red Wings then go to a store and check them out well as their quality control is awful.

Every Danner boot I’ve tried is trash. And I’ve tried about 4.

It doesn’t matter what boots or shoe you wear if they don’t complement the rest of your outfit
