That is fine pair of boots right there!

Can’t get past the snipped toe! Roach killers!

Only buy Lucchese boots here. Roper toe for me, wanting some Caiman Belly bad

Reminds me of a bespoke bootmaker on this forum. Can't remember his forum handle.

Yeah, I like to keep a variety of toe styles and my older pair I passed along to my father in law a while back.    Caiman Luccheses will set you back a fine sum of $$ but man they're beautiful.

I prefer square toes.  Gets in stirrups good, solid platform for balance, and comfortable for everyday wear.

I have a pair of dess boots with pointy toes, but I just can't get comfortable in them.  

Would love some of the exotic leathers, but I am terrible with all boots and clothes.  When something needs done, I just go do it and forget to change into work clothes.  I would be afraid of damaging the learhers.

Good lookin' boots right there and yep, I have 3 pair of square toes, one more narrow than those and one wider and one steel toe-for work).    I bought these snips for more 'dressy' times/events.    Once I get a good shine on them they will likely never see dirt---got other boots for that.

Wow!!  That is some amazing work.  Looks like you used to teach too?

To me, the dress toe is the sweet spot. 

(Edit: I may be biased, as I have these in brown, and also have two pairs of their more urban styled boots. Made in Alberta.)

On the very rare occasion I’m not in Red Wing work boots, my wife likes me to look “less homeless”. Who am I to argue

I bought my first pair of cow-boyish boots this past December. They will be used mostly for work but went with Timberlands. Very sharp looking and comfortable.

I can fully understand that, my work role is such a hybrid.   I'm anywhere from a board room in Italian wingtips and proper blazer, trousers to my office in (normally) jeans/boots to the field where I'm in FRs and steel toes.    Keeps it interesting for sure but requires too many wardrobes...
