+1 on boots. I could only own boots and be perfectly happy and never miss normal shoes.

I wear boots too from time to time. However, I have to say, I'm going to get completely flamed, but I think it can look a little gay. Particularly with a slimmer trouser. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But to the extent that there is some form of gay style (and I think there are many different gay styles, from flamboyant Elton John Versace to more sedate) I think ankle boots can fall into that category.

I tried on some black wingtip boots the other day and they look great with a suit. I'd like to get a pair because they're quite comfortable.

Both the guys pictured have slim trousers with ankle boots, I don't look at them and say they look/want to ******** with other men

Steve McQueen has one of film's most iconic looks with a sportcoat and turtleneck. A suit is not much different with a turtleneck. You mean McQueen was gay

Anyway, I guess some people can see gayness in anything; cowboys brokebackinglol
I'm not seeing how you get gay in any of this really.
