All About Boots - The Different Types of Boots

Books cannot be judged by their covers, but men's clothing can be judged by their shoes.

It's important for us to make sure whatever leather shoes for men we wear meet the right standard. Hence we will discuss the different types of boots for men and how to wear them in a proper way.

The market is covered with different types of boots, but it’s also filled with a lot of questions about how to style boots with jeans, pants, and suits. We will help you to find the right pair of boots according to your needs. Let’s start our brief trip about leather boots for men, and buy quality shoes. Quality means you do not need to drain your bank account in leather boots but buy boots that are long lasting and Goodyear welted construction(a method of joining the upper part of the shoe). The shoes you choose for your wardrobe should be built to last. 

Boots fall into four categories:

BROGUE BOOT:

Brogues are just timeless.

Barker Boots are designed to last long. They could be a great investment for you. Brogue shoes look stylish with jeans. 

CHELSEA BOOT:

Chelsea boots have history behind them. Their origins date back to the mid-1800's when a man named Jesse Boot made them for his son's fencing class at Rugby School. Back in that day, and until WWI, they were used as an indoor shoe for riding horses. Chelsea boots are popular amongst hipsters, and can be seen on the feet of singers like Morrissey and Gwen Stefani. With its minimalist design, Chelsea boots are formal as well as casual. We recommend try suede leather shoes with jeans or more comforty styles. The Chelsea is also a versatile choice for the weekend or for more formal occasions - just add a blazer and you're ready to go.

Here are a few more tips-

• Classic boots or Chelsea boots give a perfect touch to your style. You can wear them in the office and at weekend parties. Also protect your feet from cold, as one of the warmest in boot categories.

• The classic brogue boot has a much more elegant and formal look than a traditional shoe. The leather will be full grain, which makes it suitable for colder weather. Laces are a much more secure option than a buckle or boot zipper, and they go nicely with dark socks to give the whole look some extra elegance. Don’t wear chinos with a classic boot – dress pants, jeans and corduroys all work well.

• Boots provide the best protection from rain and cold on rainy or cold days.
