What is the purpose of boots in the city?

I tend to wear them when I feel cold, or when its wet. Now that I just typed that, I'm not sure what that actually does for me.

How about the purpose of pants when I had my underpants on?

Thanks for confirming my suspicions everyone.

Unfortunately I don't think I can justify continuing my collection of boots anymore as they seem to be superior to shoes in only two instances:

a) the few days one experiences extreme conditions
b) aesthetically when one is sitting down (top half becomes exposed)

I was really hoping for a little more justification!

It's likely that this event will become a pivotal inflection point in your life, and I feel truly blessed to have been a part of it. If you ever require further input on such things as when to scratch, whether to wipe with your left or right hand, or any other critical elements of life, please do not hesitate to inquire with the collective mind....we are here to help those that cannot help themselves.

I really hate losers who come on the internet with "suspicions" they want confirmed so they make a post without letting everyone know what their "suspicions" are. Nobody cares if you buy or wear boots.

REALLY.

Don't we all hate losers? Who likes losers? I don't think the guy is a loser though, really. His question was probably to get some answers to justify his grande collection of cowboy boots.

Too country?


Too country, even though I like the black/gold ones. Those are seriously ill.

So will you be selling your SUV/truck as well, since you never use it for more than one person, and never haul a payload?
