That doesn't look good. If you are wearing shoes like that, people are just gonna assume that A) you're homeless, B) can't afford new shoes, C) Just got off work as a painter.
I don't understand the appeal of overly beat up boots or people who desire a really beat up patina. Even those shoe shine scammers in New Orleans on Bourbon street wouldn't touch that pair I linked with a 10 foot pole for fear of catching ebola.
Getting your shoes really beat up is not fashion or style. It's a joke and most normal people will see it as such. Sometimes when you get so concerned with all the little details of a particular industry, you lose the big picture an outsider can see--those are bum shoes. Quite frankly if I saw someone wearing on shoes that beat up I'd wonder if they're the type of person that doesn't wipe up after going #2.
"Style is relative" is the second thing you learn here.
After you understand it's not about trying to look like a "normal person."
Don't you have something more important to get to than policing people's taste?
Like griping about how #gamergate is really about ethics in journalism?

That's a great looking pair of boots..Enjoy!
Nice jeans too. Which brand?
Actually, if I saw these, I would think, "There is someone living an interesting life and wearing shoes the way they are meant to be worn instead of sitting around trolling styleforum or reading reddit."
Also, those are Italian calf, so not sure why you are using them as an example in your CXL discourse.
Thanks, m8694. You wouldn't think that Vibergs with stiff double leather soles would be comfortable but after only about a dozen wears, they are one of the most comfortable boots I own. I have another pair of Guidi leather boots and they are extremely comfortable as well. Although the Guidi leather might contribute somewhat to the comfort, I'm guessing it's just the fact that they're Viberg.
Epaulet grey Wilshire denim. Love the fit of the Wilshires.
