>High price
How patient are you? Look at the custom North West boot makers.

I can't speak for what will happen to you, but just wearing these (relatively) normal work boots to work was damn near life changing. I was already wearing boots with a heel, but that extra ½ inch made a huge difference.
>Pull it off.
Buy some shit like I linked above or some dinners or whatever. Judy walk around in them out of the box with something believable. Take your time about it.
>I'm afraid of fucking it up
Like I said, do it like a bonsai tree.
Punk ain't necessarily impulsive. But it's certainly not worried about "fucking up."
The buckles and spikes are an affectation. (Also potential legal trouble.) Enjoy the ride and take it slow. Figure out what you like, what you want to say. Then maybe I'd you're still into it, custom order some real handmade boots with a silly high leg.
I'm curious, where are you doing this and what else were you going to wear?

I bought 2 pairs of Chippewa paladins last November. They have been almost life changing. Waterproof, insulated, cold weather vibram sole. The extra ¾ inch in hight also makes people treat me better for no real reason. Humans are NPCs, leverage this wherever you can.

I've been spending all winter in pic related. I've gotten a fair bit of attention at work from customers about them.
Now it's warm and I think I want to go lighter.
I've been wearing the steel toe Jim Green razorbacks I got on Amazon for half price on black Friday. I have a pair of black moc-toe thourogoods I was going to use, but I kinda want to save them for leisure time.

I'm looking for a black steel toe vibram sole that's relatively cheap. I see rockrooster makes one, but I heard they suck (and they're ugly.)

Any recommendations?

It's not that, it's my autism. I wear black with yellow safety vest Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and brown with orange safety vest Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I got to keep wearing my old boots now for at least half the week
>You know they fit
That exact pair fits. The black ones need breaking in.
But I'll take your advice anyway. I can just have my wife bring them to the store tomorrow, no need to mail them.
I'm considering getting a different style for the brown now. My last pair were Carolina 28s. They don't make them in black anymore, and they have plastic welts so it's not worth resoling them (even though I love them.)
I thought about pnw handmade boots, but they take too long and seem kinda overpriced.
