Hey guys should I buy these DBSS boots?



These are the boots that my guy made a copy of. I like the version he did more :eek: They're fairly rare boots though.

Just so you know, they're best on tall skinny guys. I think you're just tall enough and skinny enough that they'd work for you. I have a really hard time wearing them well. Also they are a ***** to put on and take off because it's basically a leather sock with a huge ass heel.

Wait, what's a party rocker?
I think its a reference to hipsters in their early 20s who dress with vibrant colours, kinda like those you see in the music video for LMFAO's party rock anthem

also considering Butteros


Not that I'm someone whose advice you should take, but I'm almost definitely picking up a pair of these at some point (albeit maybe in brown, since I have Daytons in charcoal nubuck).

I dunno, kinda leaning towards the butteros now. I'm just looking for an everyday pair of all black boots, and I feel like they're more versatile / easier to wear due to side zip and less wild distressing. The marsells posted are cool, I really like the pair I have, but the heel on those is too low for my taste. Any other suggestions are of course welcome.
