Nothing wrong with it, I think we just assumed you wore the hoody with the white shirt to the interview. I also didn't see the tie in your pick so Ithought you just went as is.

Although I think Tom Hansen did pull off the shirt and tie with a hoody, slacks and sneakers casual look well, minus the sneakers of course.

dont use them for winter your feet will get wet real quick. not very good traction either

they're called desert boots

there usually isnt any precipitation in the desert

therefore they probably wont be good for winter use

when i interview someone, first impressions count. cords and desert boots should be left for casual affairs vs a pair of dress slacks & proper dress shoes(AT LEAST) for an interview. it's a mind boggler when someone comes in interviewing for a 45k/yr job looking like they are there to make $10/hr. but ifit's not a problem with you my opinion has no relevance.

The American Eagle have more of a flat sole though. Not particularly comfortable though, I'm gellin in mine. Worth it for the <$25 I paid.

any suggestions on products to buy for cleaning/caring for/maintaining my boots NT?

here's what i have...

Wolverine Montgomery

John Varvatos

 

[rfx45]

Buy one of those shoe care kit that they sell at Nordstrom or even Macys.
It should include a soft horse-hair brush, I recommend giving the shoe a quick brush every time you remove them.
I do not polish my shoe much but a quick wipe or leather lotion/cleaner to clean them up and moisturize the leather.
The leather cleaner/conditioner is also necessary before polishing.
Do not use one of those quick shine was/polish.
You can also spray those water repellent if you live in a place that rains a lot.

Be careful though, those JV boots are meant to be dull and worn and using some cleaners/conditioner and polish will make it shiny destroying the distressedlook.
Try to go with a neutral polish too so that the distressed look doesn't go away with a brown polish.

Is the color accurate on the picture? I ask because I got the same ones in "dark brown" but they're more of a dark burgundy which I really like,and not as dull. Here's mine. Not the best pic, but it kind of shows the difference in color.



Either way, great boots.

colors accurate on mine

mine don't have a burgandy tint...just a dull dark brown

surprisingly the John Varvatos are more comfortable than the Wolverine's so far

i'm hoping that after the Wolverine's break in they'll be a little more comfortable...they initially felt really comfortable but after walkingaround they dig into the back of my foot

Why? Women have a hell of a lot more options and help when it comes to fashion.

thats why. We have to manyyy options. I like simple and i can never find things i want sometimes because they be adding so much glitter and fluff. And let me not get into sizes.

Women has so much more options though. There Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, etc... and the places that sell mens clothes like H&M and ZARA, the womens section has like 4-5 times bigger department. Your options are practically unlimited and most of them are priced really cheap unlike mens clothes, especially if we are looking for something more slim. Women even has specialty sized stores like 1-3-5 for petite women and another stores for those who like to eat (not trying to be rude or anything). Men barely has a big and tall stores and H&M and ZARA (and Uniqlo for those in NY) are the only options for smaller guys and there are barely any of those stores around.

You win. I am happy I am a woman hear me roar. I just find it easier for a man to dress well then it is for a woman. We have bust and butts among other things to worry about.

Yep. I agree with you Apples.

I'm not trying to jack this guys swagger, but I guess I'm trying to jack this guys swagger. I have these exact pants, and I wanna copp the vest, butwhat do you think about vests with no jacket? I originally thought it looked good IF done right, but some people I've talked to think its tacky. Link...

Size down 1. I'd say you could get away with 1.5.
