bit too strange for me, in a flashy/trendy type of way. would have to put extra thought in to outfit matching sort of like what women do, but then again this is why women buy so many shoes so they can be more matchy. I don't think you would get to wear them very often because of this and the fact they are boots, with grain makes them even less versitile I also feel like it would be a pain to shine the shoe with the cloth in the way.
