What RogerP said.

I do not believe you (we) are thumbing our nose or asserting our dominance over the masses via our choice of footwear.

These are just a departure from my typical shoe so I was looking for some feedback on their versatility. For some that flash of grey is very subtle for me it it's a little bold and I don't want to stray too far from my comfort zone.


As one who is working on light blue boots and blue/grey and navy/white spectattors, I so go grey! Seriously, whether you go grey or black, the boots you are considering look great and I hope you get and enjoy them - whether you are on the ramparts or the boardroom.

Appreciate it. A couple of other options were brought to my attention as well and I'm getting overwhelmed but that's the inspiration I was looking for.

I always thought they were called F U boots as a preemptive response to other people muttering "look at this ******* peacock".

there are also women's boots known as **** me boots, but that's for another reason entirely :D

Wouldn't that make them "F P" boots.

Truth is, my favorite Bonafe on the site right now is actually the burgundy grain jumper. They are right up my alley but, as a result, I currently own similar boots from Carmina & Heschung (debatable if they are as nice but...).

Man, I hate it when I see a new shoe / boot that is a bit nicer, and that I like better, than a similar and perfectly good shoe / boot that I already have.

I run into this issue specifically when it comes to mid or dark brown cap oxfords. Very ungrateful I am.

I'm in the Bay Area, Namor. I have to get some work done and haven't tried them on yet. I will say that this batch of cognac shell is basically the perfect color.
