There are only so many places you can wear this type of boot... it's sad somehow. When I put on my Dior Homme boots (that have a little less than 2 inches in heel height), my female coworker said that "this looks gay... shoes that Prince would wear...". Ok, I work in a financial services company, but it was casual Friday. I've never worn them to work ever since. I don't even know what she would tell me if I walked in with the boots depictured above or even the Rick Owens ones. Sometimes I think that either I am totally crazy or maybe just 20 years ahead of everyone else fashion-wise.
And now I have to ask... where in the EU is this shoemaker?
but perhaps the upper leather could be improved?
But indeed, even my shoemaker said that he would rather use even higher quality leather, but he has problems sourcing it in Germany. He told me that if I really wanted a top-notch boot, I should visit bootmakers as John Lobb in London, or some other shoemaker (whose name I forgot) in Italy. Still, comparing this leather to my Rick Owens boots, the custom-made boot leather is better...
Cheers,
Marc
