Nay.

 

[Oxn]

Also, brogues are for middle-aged white men who think that putting holes on shoes makes them looks classy.

Wow, just wow.

 

[Pagusas]

Nay. Very feminine looking. If that's the look you are going for, then sure. I just don't think it looks good on men.

 

[Desi]

Wow, just wow.

Well brogues are known as less dressed up then a pair of captoes.

Also, yea. Don't own a pair of Chelsea but own two pairs of common project side zips.

Are Blundstones considered Chelsea boots? I've been thinking of getting a pair of these: https://www.blundstone.ca/collections/the-chisel-toe

Probably the rustic black.

 

[YuriLowell]

Love Chelsea boots.
I need to get a new pair but I'm having a hard time finding a pair that fits comfortably.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

To each his own but i aint feeling them

 

[nhlducks35]

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.

I can guarantee you're the guy at work wearing this shit

 

[K.Jack]

I think they work better the taller you are honestly.

I'm like 6'6" in my barefeet, and the skinny jean look has always failed me.

 

[gutter_trash]

nay in Spring/Summer/Fall

only acceptable win Winter

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I've owned a pair of these for years, is that what they're called? Chelsea boots?

You learn something new every day I guess. I bought them because they were on sale.

EDIT: I should mention that I have zero fashion sense, and wear them with slacks or khakis.

 

[Chittagong]

Good for short men, I guess.

 

[SuperSah]

IMO Chelsea Boots are the only casual boots anyone should wear.

I love mine

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

If you live in a winter, or fairly wet climate, Blundstones—especially chisel toe—are the best footwear ever.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I'm too short & stocky for them

 

[MrS]

Chelsea boots are fine and brogues are indeed shit. I'd never wear a pair of brogues, personally. Good quality Oxfords or Monk shoes for work are my preference.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I feel genuine revulsion both for them and the people who wear them.

 

[jelly]

They don't look too bad but I've always been wary of how they fit, much prefer laces and not just two hole chukka laces which I hate because of heal slip.

 

[hohoXD123]

I like them, they're the only shoes I wear which I've received numerous compliments for, even after a few years

 

[RevolverRoden]

They're dope. Black leather is the best.
Haven't worn them in a while though.

"Whoooooaaa! Looking cool, Joker!"

I don't think any man can go wrong with Oxfords. Chelsea and the like though.... most men will go wrong with them, they just need a very specific skinny/feminine build to work on.

[dry heave]

Nope, they work fine regardless of build. Just don't wear them with skinny jeans like a bloody hipster.

 

[QuantumSquid]

I feel genuine revulsion for YOU!

Spoiler

just kidding i'm sure we could still be good friends despite our differing tastes in footwear

 

[TheOfficeMut]

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:

Do you cosplay as Barret?

That is god damn ugly.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Meh not my style but the people who wear them well are fine.

I like engineer boots, service/work boots and and some cowboy boots more

Engineer boots are my favorite.

 

[psyfi]

They're fine.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I enjoy my YSL replicas.

Outside of that, I tend to stick with combat boots.

Now Monk strap dress shoes are my favorite, but we talking fashion boots here, and brogue is best.

 

[The Lamp]

Eff that noise.

Wear cowboy boots like a real man if you want to wear boots.

I'm from Texas and I hate cowboy boots. They're atrocious fashion. Especially when women wear them casually with a sorority shirt and short shorts.

It's a tough look to pull off and I tend to think Brogues generally look better on women. More power to you if you can pull it off.

 

[God Dayumm]

They look anywhere from innofensive to fine.

Personally I prefer something more patterned, like someone mentioned brogue, that's cool to me.

Turn in your Texas card right now!

most cowboy boots that are cheap look awful, especially mass produced ones.

lot of the master boot makers and high quality brands located in the rio grande valley put out some amazing stuff.
