Don't like them.
Mostly for the lack of laces and stitching.
I have a pair of West Haven chukkas, and those are more my style.

eh anyone can pull them off if they wear the right stuff to go with it.

You look like a guy I know named Dan for some reason.
Are you a graphic designer?

Hmm, for me these or, doc martins,mechanics boots, or combat boots are really comfortable. I don't have a pair of these though even though I've always wanted some.
I say go for it OP, don't forget your zuit suit, white jacket with sides that's five inches long
Or dress up like Roger Daltrey.

bad Who joke, I'm sorry.
I've said nothing on here I wouldn't say in real life. I'm guessing it's someone from TM
they might not look it but are really comfortable
Take about a week to break in, once jays done they're super comfortable.
I'm a Brit so this whole thread is weird anyway since they're really commonplace there and here in Aus, but they're a great pieece of footwear as they happily go with jeans and more formal attire.
Black leather though. Can't stand the suede version.

Prefer my suede chukkas. I'm sure some people can pull them off, though.

The leather ones in the OP are ugly, but the suede looks nice.

Anyways I don't really like them personally
I don't like chukka boots either
I like wingtip boots

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Beats me. I think they look fucking stupid as hell, but I'm a 31-year-old man who still wears skate shoes.

I have 4 pairs, and I love them to death. It really only works with certain types of styles and body types though. I only wear them with skinny jeans.
I liked the $40 dollar ones I got from ASOS so much that I ended up buying way more expensive ones from Common Project and Oros.
Also women seem to really dig em. An overcoat, a crewneck sweater or long sleeve, skinny jeans, and chelsea boots is one of my favorite looks.

They are the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. Did 36,000 steps at Disney World 1 day a few years back. My feet felt like a million bucks.

They look good but i Don't like them. They're like level 1 gear for an online RPG player who hasn't decided what class to build on.
I like boots with more rugged look.

Yup anyone can do but they were made popular again due to Hedi Slimanes mens Saint Laurent AW13 collection and then subsequent ones. The looks he focuses on are always tall and skinny so you usually see them on tall skinny guys.

Do blundstones count? I have a pair for outdoors stuff
Nah, he's good.

Pretty much. TB was here for like two seconds.
Anyways, on topic. I love Chelsea boots but feel like my feet are too big to make it work.

They're way more versatile than Chelseas.

I find them particularly boring. I don't see the appeal.
Then again I'm very much a punk rocker so nothing will ever overtake steel cap combat boots as far as I'm concerned:

They're boring. I guess they can work with a really skinny jean but for the most part I'm uninterested.

Tall Doc Martens can get in the bin as well. Unless you're a hot young goth lady these have no place in a wardrobe.
Am I missing something? Men have worn those in Australia as long as I can remember. R.M Williams.
Is this like when annoying trendy people started wearing ugg boots and acted like they were some fashion item even though everyone in Australia wears them purely as a practical thing (and only at home).

My dad has a pair. He is a farmer. He wears them while farming. It is not a hipster shoe.

lol. They must be worn as heck. I wouldn't wear them for super physical stuff. Not enough protection for the feet, plus the sides have the thinner fabric.
Chelsea's are more city than country style wise.

I have a pair of standard black leather ones. I wear them during winter as a sort of formal-ish attire with a pair of classic straight-cut black jeans. I think they look wierd when worn with skinny jeans, but then again I don't like skinny jeans at all.
Also, brogues are for middle-aged white men who think that putting holes on shoes makes them looks classy.
