Mid-calf, fold-over, military-style boots for men have arrived. When worn with a tapered-leg jean, they can create a modern, edgy silhouette that screams rebellious cool.
But with so many on the market, what should you buy and how much should you spend?
Once again, All Saints lead the way with their stylistic offerings. They are, without exception in my opinion, the best looking, pre-worn boots on the market. BUT, as always, they would require you to re-mortgage your house and sell your kidneys – both of them – in order to stump-up the price tag.
Finding a wide selection of this style in high street shops is harder than you might think, given their ubiquity on the pages of fashion magazines. In Manchester, in particular, only Artisan off St. Anne’s Square has what you could call choice. Topman is always worth a look, with Bank, Office and Superdry sporting a few examples. Always check out TK Maxx for bargains – my brother picked-up a pair of canvas calf boots in black – you wouldn’t think these would look anywhere near as good, but their more casual styling means they are far more wearable than the arresting appearance of leather boots.
If you can find a decently priced pair, nothing will help define your casual look better. But make sure you wear them with either skinny, or tapered leg jeans – the rest will fall into place.
