I added thich rubber sole to have more grip and make them more manly. What I like is the zipper going up and how it wraps my legs.<br />I also bought from Remonte in Europe, brown ones. They look good even if they are for women. They look quite male too. this ones I showed them because nowadays trousers are so slim that feel better showing them. Yup, another man that enjoys waling on boots. I tried to get rid of this fixation, since is part of me. I don't counteract or repress it. I live it in the most decent way possible and I enjoy it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1979853 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:52:33 +0000 ptlprsh11 1979853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love womens knee boots too, they look far better.&nbsp; You should check the Gabor brand they have some amazing styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1928934 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 21:53:34 +0000 nitro2525 1928934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im a 33 year old male and I always wear my cottage craft rubber riding boots when im walking my mothers dogs in the woods. My brother used to horse ride and was given them a few years ago. He never wore them and as i dont own a pair of wellies these are practical for me to wear as it gets really muddy and wet in the winter here in the uk. </p> <p>i pass lots of people when wearing them and they dont really bat an eyelid. The only time i got attention was off some old people walking when it was very muddy who smiled at me and said 'we could do with a pair of them'</p> <p>I did get some dodgy looks off my neighbours this last winter when i was clearing snow of my drive wearing them. In my defense they were the only practical thing to wear as the snow was really deep haha.</p> <p>Guys wearing things like this is a good thing to me. It was always the norm years ago but women seemed to have commandeered the fashion now, bring back the old school i say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1890032 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 18:35:49 +0000 bootman 1890032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Larry</p> <p>Great post I also am a guy happily married who’s wife supports me in my everyday Boot wearing . The world needs to change when it comes to the attitudes of guys gay or straight who prefer wearing boots that at the moment are marketed to men. There are so many of us out there who’s daily life involves wearing the OTK boots sadly not marketed to us. With all the real issues in the world we should not even need to discuss this topic. But sadly for now we do... by the way all of my 40plus pairs are flat or low heel except for these </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1888025 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 12:10:30 +0000 bootman 1888025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello I just wanted to say that I am a happily married heterosexual male in my 40’s. well educated and traveled. Who has had a lifetime love of wearing what I would call unisex knee high or over the knee Boots that are marketed sadly only to women. It surprises me these days with such an interest for men in wearing women’s boots that main stream women’s boots manufacturers haven’t caught on yet. If you look at the buyers comments on sites like amazon on certain advertised ladies boots a large amount of men are buying them for themselves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1591329 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:53:50 +0000 Guy 1591329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello,<br />Is there some people on this topic active?<br />Last responds was 5 months ago.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1506497 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 23:02:35 +0000 tulle 1506497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the island of Crete, men wear a traditional outfit that I thought looked fabulous, comfortable, and very rugged:&nbsp; very loose, wide, belted trousers stuffed into tall, straight black leather boots, a collarless cotton shirt or woolen sweater, and a somewhat equestrian-style (usually ancient and beat-up) tweed woolen jacket--oh, and often a black fringed scarf twisted at the neck or tied around the head like a band.&nbsp; Very fierce!</p> <p>Also, for the way things used to be, try googling Beau Brummel . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1506413 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:49:09 +0000 Anonymous 1506413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OTK boots has been a part of my daily outfit for around 15 years.

Go for it, you'll feel great in them and no one else cares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1371743 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 04:27:46 +0000 cloudy 1371743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Hunter boots were another boot that was made for men but taken over by women in the last two decades. They are still expensive and apparently the quality has gone downhill.</p> <p>I have some Aigle rubber riding boots that I wear when I walk my dog though long wet grass and when its cold and muddy.&nbsp; - They are much better than wellies/gum boots as they are lined and fitted and more stylish and comfortable&nbsp;and don't slop when you walk.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have recently discovered my 60 odd year old female neighbour spying on me with binoculars when I've been wearing them.</p> <p>I have some tall black leather dressage style boots what I wear when I ride and have had a few envious looks/comments from women which I really like.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think you have to be tall and slim to pull off tall boots?</p> <p>I'm not sure why most women that I see when I ride wear those short boots and gaiters although some live in their rubber riding boots.</p> <p>I like to see women in tall sleek black polished knee length boots either over jeans or with a nice skirt (black pencil?). - I'm not keen on the clumpy motorbike style that seem to be proliferating recently.

He gets a lot of crap for it, since they're so trendy among women in their 20s, but I think he looks fine.

I have close to a dozen of boots - all purely male boots. From ankle to mid-calf French motorcycle boot to Russian officer's boots to 19" equestrian boots - all men's. I've tried several styles with it but I can't quite find the right one. I'd love to hear suggestions. Clearly, I could wear something stereotypical (like English country style, military, skinhead or motorcycle attire) but I'm seeking a classy, urban style that would go with any of my boots. Anyone with an open mind and sense of style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1204052 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:10:30 +0000 Colin 1204052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Larry, and everyone.&nbsp; Maybe this thread is dead now, but just wanted to respond having just seen it.&nbsp; First of all tall boots for men are just so practical and comfortable, and I enjoy wearing them whenever I can, but I find it very difficult to find ones that fit and look right.&nbsp; But when I do I more or less live in them.&nbsp; Tall boots are unusual on men these days, unless they are for horse or bike riding or country pursuits, but at one time they were very common.&nbsp; Like so many styles tall boots have been "borrowed" by women from men's common apparel and, having become women's garb, they are now verboten for men in the minds of many.&nbsp; Such a shame!&nbsp; Don't think that I'm complaining, because I really like boots on women and I'm so glad they are back in fashion and so plentiful in the shops.&nbsp; I find them amazingly appealing.&nbsp; Their return to fashion actually helps men who want to wear them because there are so many women's boots that would not look out of place on a man, particularly the flat soled styles, perhaps with a combat, military or biker edge, but also the more fashionable androgynous styles work well, if you have the courage.&nbsp; Perhaps go for a style that harks back to men's footwear of a previous era, say before the last war, when they were very common on men.&nbsp; The tricky bit is finding them.<br />I agree with you Larry that current men's high street shoes and shoe shops are so awful.&nbsp; I have not bought shoes from an actual shop for nearly ten years mainly because I can never find anything I like and the selection is so small.&nbsp; Especially compared with the women's side of the shop which I often look at with envy.&nbsp; Now I always buy on line and have the most comfortable and pleasing shoes and boots I have ever owned.&nbsp; And mostly from the women's ranges, always with flat manly heels and a bit of edgy style, and I am always on the lookout for more.&nbsp; Also my feet have been more comfortable than ever before and I get so much better arch support with women's boots.&nbsp; So, men, what's all the fuss about?&nbsp; If you like a boot go and buy it and wear it.&nbsp; And ignore people who can't hack it, it's their insecurity and narrow-mindedness giving them a hard time.&nbsp; Go for it.&nbsp; Colin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1088024 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 15:31:20 +0000 Jude 1088024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any suggestions for you, but please keep looking! As someone who loves wearing menswear inspired items, I'm all for equal opportunities for both sexes. Men sure don't have it easy in this regard.<br />As for men wearing heels: I once saw a theater performance where this tall, slender actor was on stage for fifteen minutes or so wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a pair of VERY high heels, strutting around in them as if he had been doing this all his life. At one point he even ran across across the stage and jumped over a maybe 3 feet high hurdle, landing on his feet as if there was nothing to it. Now, while I was definitely amazed by the technical aspect of what he was doing (I would have broken a leg doing it, or worse!), I was even more stunned by how UTTERLY SEXY he was. I'm pretty sure the whole audience fell for him, female AND male, no matter what their sexual orientation. I know my husband did <br />Pulling off something like this in real life might be difficult, for sure. Still, I applaud you for trying The keyword is confidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1087919 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:14:28 +0000 Momo 1087919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This guy looks very masculine in his boots...<a href="http://rainorshinefashion.com/tag/mens-knee-high-leather-boots/" rel="nofollow">http://rainorshinefashion.com/.....her-boots/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1087848 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 07:04:36 +0000 minimalist 1087848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about Wesco's Big Boss boot?<br /> wescoboots.com </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1086868 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:56:24 +0000 Gigi 1086868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Larry,</p> <p>Typically, posts are active for only maybe a day, since there are always lots of new topics posted to the forum daily, and that gradually&nbsp;pushes the old ones out.

I don't have any personal experience with knee-high boots for men, but I did google "riding boots" (that is the name for the flat-heeled, knee-high style) and "men," and that brought up some equestrian-oriented companies that make boots like this for men. Perhaps if you tried to re-create an equestrian-style outfit, wearing the boots would not look so unusual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knee-boots-for-men#post-1067920 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 01:32:21 +0000 Larry 1067920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>first off i wanted to say hi to everyone, and thank you for letting me into this wonderful place! </p> <p>i really like the look of a nice pair of flat heeled&nbsp; leather knee high boots on women. <br />and was wondering why men couldn't wear them too?&nbsp; outside of jeans without people thinking the person wearing them is gay.<br />they look so great!&nbsp; im so jealous.</p> <p>i am a straight married man who enjoys fashion.<br />i have more heels than my wife not to mention higher heels! some i wear in public and some are JUST for home&nbsp; ;-)</p> <p>thank you <br />&nbsp;Larry B </p>
