If someone was trying to combine heritagewear and techwear/lunarcore (like a more industrial/blue color space cowboy look) what shoes would they wear?

I fantasize about combining depression-era NYC with lunarcore.

The lunarcore look was always centered around the inclusion of heritage and tech in the same fit. What is techwear? For the most part, it's a good looking, highly specialized or versatile garment.
Think about what the vibes of competence and adaptability a good tech fit puts out. Now think about what might have given people that same vibe thirty years ago, 50 years ago. What was the techwear of that era? Probably a proper utilitarian riding boot or a battered leather. I don't know, this is a very open look. The important thing is that you balance it out with futurism in the rest of the fit. Certain garments will always be in style and we can expect to see leather jackets and cowboy boots well into the 22nd century.
I have a film suggestion for you, though. It's a western redone as early 80's SciFi with Sean Connery. It literally does costume its characters as blue collar space cowboys, and does a fairly good job of it. Imagine a western but it's on a space station. The film is "Outland".

Of course, the trap is straying too close to steampunk cosplay land. retrofuturism has to be done with care and panache.

Everything I have has been posted before. I've done no real digging for new pics in a while but I'll look through my archive and see what I can find that's applicable. I know there are a few things.
I don't know what an 8 quarter hat is, I might add.

Polo makes a quilted cotton vest that has interesting hardware and vaguely nautical notions. Macy's is the last place I saw it being sold.

I can't see myself wearing cowboy boots really. I'm more influenced by eastern european urban immigrant fashion/depression NYC fashion than country or rural. Moon boots is probably the way I'll go.

Yea that's my point. Newsboy cap+whatever I wear on top (I'd do a white tank/beater to go full depressionmode but I'm too lanky, maybe if I bulk up to ottormode), shin length khakis, and then pic related. I feel like that'd be cool as fuark but it might be a bit extreme.

and yea the lunar y-3 boots look sweet, I would like some of them more if they didn't have that weird flared out bottoms with the chunk taken out of the middle but the flat bottomed solid color ones I really like. Some of the raf adidas did that too.
