The Boot

I've always loved sneakers, i can remember days when everyone loved the air force one, I remember going to footlocker and having them tell me "I'm sorry we're all sold out of white air forces" , such innocent times, flash to now where you can find air forces everywhere and no one wants them, Vans are slowly on the decline and everyone is in love with Pradas and Guccis. While now i humbly wear my converses day in day out i still do have a love for sneakers. However i feel that the age of sneakerdom is over, and the boot shall take its place. Now when most people think of boots they think of the Timberland 6-Inch that everyone pulls out in the winter, but i've discovered that theres a world beyond the 6-inch timberland, a world filled with straps and zippers and dare i say knee-highs. While I have not committed myself to the boot yet, and my sneakers fufill my day to day, I see myself in the near future purchasing these:



The Red Wing 875s. These have drawn me in with both their beauty, and they're history as one of the iconic American boots. Plus they run for about 191 dollars, which at first sounds like a lot but when considering the fact that a majority of quality boots run for two to five times more than that, its damn near a bargain.

Now one day soon, i must get a job to support myself as a young man, but my first paycheck is going straight to these.

if you want more information on boots. I suggest you check out

if you still feel that 191 is expensive you can check out clarks

http://clarks.zappos.com/n/es/d/722001127/page/1.html, theyve got a really good selection of desert shoes and wallabees. Odds are I'll end up getting a pair of one of those instead.

Also if your intrigued by the boot but dont want to stray too far from the sneaker, Clae offers nice hybrids such as the mcqueen (my personal favorite):



Enjoy!
