Why does every single r/mfa think that these boots make them some sort of fashion god. Are these boots the biggest meme of all time?

There is nothing wrong with Red Wings. I own a pair of the Blacksmiths and they're great. They are high quality and look good.

I think you're more triggered over the style, over wearing boots, rather than the brand

People who wear pic related are fucking hipster trash with no sense of personal style. I'm with you, OP.
Brown leather boots with blue jeans, cuffed right to the top of the boot. The bottom half of every blandly dressed white guy.

Wearing Brown boots, is a deeply philosophical decision. Some people are deeply rooted with the Brown boot blue jeans look, because to them, it's part of who they are and where they feel comfortable. It's "country", it's relaxed, it's not worried about getting a little muddy, and roughing it. It's a huge identitiy thing, whether people who swear by it, even realize it or not.

Conversely, the Black boots black jeans, Black is very "downtown", industrial, "formal", snooty, London. People who swear by this are deeply rooted in the feelin of "formality" and not getting "muddy' philosophically. Black is the absence of all colour/light, and it is "default", neutral, it goes with nothing, and yet goes with everything, because it is "darkness", the void. It's the colour of night.

Blue (jeans) are the colour of "Day", of sky, of Oceans during the day time. The Brown boots, contrast with the blue, blue sky, brown Earth. It's just a look that always looks "awake", even to its own detriment.

Black and Blue Jeans, is like a netherworld hybrid, where it just doesn't look quite right. You can try, you can try, god knows Motorcycle riders try, but it will never look right. It's like Night, and Day, Black and Blue.

Brown boots and Black jeans, are like a big Fuck You to all this nonsense I am saying, if you know what I mean. And you can ride that high, and be a rebel for a while, until, you will, WILL, ultimately realize it looks horrible.

How very profound. I'm not talking necessarily about the colors here, more of the style of brown lace-up boots with cuffed blue jeans. Thanks for the soliloquy, though, Homer.

they are sneakers not boot
and they are a massive streetwear meme
I was considering copping lows a while ago but ultimately decided not to partially because streetwear faggots kinda killed the aesthetic to me
same with creatch cargos, was a grail for the longest time but just kinda bored seeing them so much and I'm glad I never bought them

I don't post on r/MFA but I wear a lot of clothing that /fa/ describes as very "reddit".

Personally I like leather boots because of the versatility. They're durable, comfortable, easy to clean/keep clean. When it comes to shoes I prefer "jack of all trades" properties; I don't want to have to constantly change what shoes I wear based on the weather, where I'm going, or what I'm wearing.

I wear Viberg boots. I've only gotten compliments from a bum and a bus weirdo.

I really wish I had went with a pair of them rather than oxbloods. Love them, hate them, doesn't matter. The iron ranger is a well made and durable boot although I wouldn't wear them to any real worksite.

I don't get boots.

if it's casual enough to wear them... why not wear some cool sneakers?

if it's more "smart" look you want, why not opt for some loafers or derbys.

outside of actual work environment, why wear uncomfortable looking shoes?

Boots are /out/ as fuck which is inherently /fa/ as nature/being in nature is /fa/ as fuck

Nusoys however don't go outside so wearing boots to them is like living vicariously through their possessions which is quite depressing

I had a pair of iron rangers for a long time and got some good use out of them but I noticed around 2014-2016 they quickly became the go to footwear for any dickhead with a fleeting interest in "fashion." Sold mine for my Ramones and haven't looked back since.

Obviously they're more practical for some things but this is a fashion board. I like boots on myself because I have long skinny legs and cropped/cuffed pants balance my proportions and look way better with boots than with low shoes. I also like the, for lack of a better word, aesthetic of boots (both combat boots and muh heritage workwear boots). Combat boots with black skinny jeans tucked in is a good versatile look even if it's played out on /fa/ since 2013.
