I have been trying to practice the "cool off" strategy described by Jenn and it works very well for me but in this case if you love the olive maybe this is your chance because they still look very neutral, just a little more distinctive.

Olive. If you don’t get these you will always remember the ones that got away.. everyone thinks they need brown boots, then don’t wear them. Brown is not a popular color yet.

Absolutely olive. You know I looked for olive boots for about a year until I found them?

I like the olive too!
