Good Boots - To Tuck Into Pants

[englandmj7]

Alright, you may think the look is wack as hell, but in many instances it is mighty sexy. I have some combat boots, so I am not looking for those......

Basically, I saw a young gent in NYC this weekend wearing a heavy wool plaid shirt and green tweed pants tucked into just-above-ankle-length riding boots......needless to say, it looked cool as shit. Unfortunately, I did not ask the gent where he purchased said boots.

Anyone know of great boots that have a looser top (i.e. non-Chelsea boots) whereby they might accomodate pants being tucked in? Riding boots? Wellington boots? Suggestions? Pics?

- oh yeah: preferably sub-$400

Try equistrian/riding boots if you want to go for a more English / non-rocker/goth mod look / classy look.

Check out this thread we did on StyleZeitgeist regarding footwear...its very comprehensive of various boot styles available: http://stylezeitgeist.com/forums/thread/308.aspx

That is a damn cool thread. I really like the Margiela ones listed and I think they would work perfectly for the cause:

I wouldn't drop $800 on them though.

I like riding boots but all the ones I have seen are far too high for my taste.

I can't really decide if tucking pants into a pair of boots would elongate or shorten my appearance, which is why I'm still stuck on the fence, but I like those n.d.c's, the Butteros, and a couple Premiata Uomo.

Been thinking about these shits from yooooooox... I dunno though, might look a bit too "cowboy" for me.

but damn! having those buckles right above my ankles makes me wanna get 'em just for "tucking in" purposes.

Those look fuckin' dope. Get em! They'd look great with some black or dark blue jeans...

I like the Engineer Boots and have considered them in the past but they didn't suit me as well in person.
