I align with Ashley’s perspective on seeing shoes as an investment . I absolutely love shoes,but my cash flow is limited,so some of us are slowly building our wardrobe. I recommend brands like the following: meermin,Paul Evans,carmina etc. I just got some red wings and loving them,but breaking them it’s taking a minute😢😂

For the casual work boot category try Nicks Handmade Boots. They are pricey upon first look. Once you have then in hand, you realize that they are a bargain. Once you break them in, you have an heirloom. Mind you, these boots can do real work. My favorite boot is the Officer, in brown chromexel, toe cap, and a 430 minilug sole. As a person that always purchased "budget" footwear as part of a frugal living lifestyle, my pair of Nicks converted me to a person that will splurge/invest in high quality (material, fit, and craftsmanship) footwear going forward when needed.

Thanks for stepping up with more stellar content, Ashley.

Hi love the content ! I am a fan of zip up boots myself… very clean and sleek look . I feel every Instagram mens fashion influencer owns a pair of Chelsea boots in every color to match their skinny jeans …that look is done to death!

thank you ashley! been a sneaker guy for over 2 yrs. but i got inspired to wear boots again! excited to wear chukkas, chelsea, and would love to wear DMs!

great video Ashley! thanks for taking the time to create this life-saving content for all of men out here.

Love it, Ashley. Super informative!

I feel like dark olive is a great starter color for boots as it’s extremely versatile

Very helpful! I ordered some new boots. Thank you.🙏🏼☺️

Great advice and combinations as always Ashley

Chelsea, chukka, and hiking boots are a hit with the right outfits. Always go with good year welted. Costs more but worth it in the long run.

Great vid. For green boots I think a green/grey tone can work. Specifically Loden suede. If you have a lot of earth tones in your closet i've been able to create lots of outfits with them.

My wife likes my boots and how long I've had them. I've had my Iron Rangers longer than I've known her, and there is something cool and masculine about having something that long that still performs well.

Thankyou. My opinions really needed a re-boot.

thanks lady... keep the content coming

i like your videos and the way you describe outfits and style, but i have a request; you seem to make tips for tall skinny & big guys . yet you never had anything for the smallest dudes out there so maybe in the next videos you can make something for us 5' - 5'4 guys ? it would be awesome.

What do you think is the best option for guys buying their first pair of boots? Also, love your vids keep up the good work!

First men's fashion video I've seen. Happened randomly, but you have so many good ideas. It might inspire me to put some thought into my outfits.

I have been wearing combat boots almost exclusively for the last 5 to 6 years. Some of the best boots ive seen are the vintage army surplus leather boots. You can get them for like 50 bucks. They usually have good year welt. They are as good as my 400 $ pair of cowboy boots. Some European combat boots look rugged and sleek. They work well with almost every outfit For suede boots in the slush and cold i snoseal them. Yuu loose the fuzzyness but get the waxed flesh look. It looks really sharp

Don't know if you've seen the guy's video that recommends dark olive green over black and brown, but the way that color looks with all the paired colors of clothing he shows is VERY convincing of his logic. Not limiting at all! Dark for sure, though, as normal olive falls into where Ashley was saying.

Great content!

I have watched your videos for a few years now you look much more professional on your new videos 😁 and the content are great as always thank you

I've got a cheap $50-ish pair of faux leather moc toe boots from Kohl's that have held up for well over 6 years at this point with very little wear. I rock them every fall and winter, casually, but still holding up just fine. I'm going to upgrade to real leather at some point, but in my opinion there is no need to start there if you are on a budget and just plan to wear them casually.

Ive watched almost every one of your videos

Why are light brown / beige / sand boots not recommended and rather dark brown? In one video you said they are trickier to pair with clothing, could you explain the difference in versatility between beige boots and darker brown? Thank you!

I mean I appreciate the advice BUT I have had a pair of Timberland boots for over 5 years and they cost me $80 and they're still going strong and look great, I use them very often on hikes.

The only video where I agree with Ashley. lol but gotta admire what you do, keep it up!

i needed this. lol. regarding what you mentioned @10:59 , would "sharper" styling be applicable as well for top-heavy physique when wearing Chelseas? the model in the photo was fit so i was wondering if that would apply to others too lol. THANKS!

Nice guide thank you.

I don't own any of the boots mentioned here. I own tactical boots which I USED to wear for work and still do when doing chores. Other than that, the only boots I own are Western boots. I'm not a cowboy, but I am a Texan. All my boots are excellent quality and aren't meant for work, except for one pair. Every pair is black, so they will go with everything I own. They are of a variety of styles, but are all snip and round toe types. I hate square toed anything, so they won't be in my closet. I was surprised to see that Western boots weren't on the list. When I'm dressed nice and wearing my boots, I often get compliments on them.

Wait so much good i for but so many questions. Can I wear my cowboy boots if I'm not riding today? What about hiking boots? Do snow boots count as a new category?

Is it ok to wear shoes or boots that have a white bottom sole in the fall and winter?

What do you think about the trend towards wider fitting pants, which in turn will not pair well with Chelseas? Will the Chukka boot become the go-to?

Love your channel .

How do you feel about moc toe boots?

Pro tips, not all boots over 200 worth , not all boots under 200 bad, just look for discounts, make sure the upper is leather, if its cemented/glued just take it to local cobbler to stitch it, for cheap, if thr sole cheap go to cobbler change the aole with others(vibram, crepes, commando)......

I have 1 pair of full price boots (red wings) but have got lots in the sale for under £100- Blundstones, Timberlands, Russell & Bromley, DM chelsea boots and Richard James Mayfair Chukkas that are all fine. The advice to not get ‘cheap’ boots (meaning poor quality disposable fashion) is good but it’s not as simple as price.

Very helpful thank you.

Yeah, great content here👍👍👍

Wonderful content! I could not agree with you more and I have 3 pairs of boots, all by Allen Edmonds.

Nothing beats a pair of Nick's boots or White's or any of the PNW boot manufacturers for me, especially since I'm addicted to flannel shirts.

Hey what brand is that lace up boot you posted at minute 10:45? I need those boots!

That camel-colored coat at the 10 minute mark--where can I find it? Thanks 🙂

I watched the whole commercial just because Ashley is wearing a sexy top. It worked on me! 😂

As a woman, I definitely agree that women will notice your shoes, especially if they are dirty or unpolished

What do you think about harness boots on men ?

Miss Ashley Weston is the best...

Hi Ashley, do you know what a brand the boots by 4.16?

Can we get a brand guide for boots?

Can I wear black (chamois) boots with a dark brown leather jacket (specifically schott 582)

hi there, which boots are presented on the man seated at 11:07

I buy all my boots from Champion Attitude Boots. Hand made in El Paso Texas USA. Cowboy/girl boots under jeans are the only way to go.

Timberland makes a very stylish and under $200 REAL leather boot called the Earthkeepers Original 6inch. The leather is sourced from a tannery rated Gold or Silver by the Leather Working Group. Glued soles can be resoled, there is no such thing as repairing either sole, they are replaced.

I've had my Timberland suede Chelsea boot that cost $75 for 12 years. And I wear them for everything.

I have great boots well under $200 that I’ve had for years, this channel is always hilarious.

At 11:11, the first picture of the guy on the left with the dark sports coat jacket. What shoes are those? They look really nice. The light Grey ones

Can you do a video for larger guys? More on the heavy side not necessarily tall? I would appreciate some ideas thank you .

Best boots, Viberg, my favorite.

Outstanding

What about the zipper type with laces. ??? I love the laces but with a zipper.

R. M. Williams Chelsea boots. Made in Australia since 1932. Craftsman with chisel-toe is one of their classic styles.

Do you know the brand of the boot at 10:32-33 mark?

Will disagree with the point against green boots. A dark olive green is the perfect middle ground between black and brown interestingly enough. I'd say this color is a fantastic way to subtly change up your daily wear.

I literally have all the ingredients for outfit 2 and never wore them together like that 😮

Can someone pls tell me if Caterpillar work boots are in fashion? For causal look of course

Those KOIO boots look amazing! So I just bought a pair (using your code of course). I have been wanting black boots for a while, but I took your advice and went with saddle instead. I'm slowly upping my wardrobe game, because well it currently sucks. Thank you for your content 😆👍

Thank you. Today ,I am actually buying my first set of boots since my teens. Perfect timing.

I have a pair of winter boots made by Clarks that are 10 (!) years old and still look quite nice. Mid height, all black, real leather, Gore-Tex. I bought them with discount for about $100. Extremely comfortable, warm, waterproof, very good grip in winter. Never had any issues, no repairs as yet. This year I got another pair of Clarks (Clarks Durston Hi, olive) for winter for less than $100 (with discount)...

cheap boots are NOT worth it! She's absolutely correct. $200 is the minimum. Thursday boots has an amazing selection.

thanks

I was on an airport shuttle and a lady complimented my boots. So yeah, they notice. I have a coworker whom I'm not sure if she's aware of this, but she usually scans me when we encounter each other and she always starts at my feet.

effortless vent looking gr8 in the Barbour jacket

Wow Ash not only has great advice, she is beautiful as well….💐

How I wish we get this kind of content for people living in the tropics. Like, Autumn, Spring, Winter who? Lmao.

Burgundy and chili let you cover black and brown situations. Black shoes unless casual like double monks are for really formal situations. Dark browns and reds cover a wider area.

Boots looks tidier, because the shaft height will hide the lace knot up high in the pants. For 8inch boot the knot won't show up even when you are sitting for kneeling down.

RM Williams, Nick's, Edward Green, Crockett and Jones. Expensive, but worth it.

Is 175 dollar boot worth it?

I really like the ones at 0:50 and 3:04

Great video Suede chucker =desert boot Leather = chucker

01:39 "Stay away from leather blends" I see what you did there... that is a pair of leather TCX X-*Blend* motorcycle boots. (excellent motorcycle boots by the way)

My 180 dollar Justin’s lasted 2 and a half years. Still more life just need resoled. Been wearing my current pair for about 2 years and there’s practically zero compromising wear

I have Redwings, Wolverines and Chippewas… and I never let them go… never

Great!!!!

I like combat boots with slim bootcut jeans

1:39 LOL, these are motorcycle boots with all the protection, not for walking or everyday use. Moreover, many of the boots with rubber and even cemented sole can last for many years.

i adore combat boots with steel toes

5:12 11:06 does anyone know the name of these boots?

Nice

Moc toe boots?

What are your thoughts on Dr Martens?

I spent $90 on my doc martens and they're going strong after 5 years.

I agree, never go cheap on boots. Even for work, if your feet aren't happy, your not happy. Anyways, I tend to always got with a casual lace up. I find most chukka and chelsea boots to be hideous.

Can anyone recommend some classic leather boots, rubber sole, something durable that I can use in mud, snow, salt,... will show clear signs of weak, but will hold for 5+ years? It's hard to find something that doesn't start falling apart or get really worn out within 1-2 seasons. No promo nonsense, just genuinely durable classic boot brands recommendations. Thank you very much.

chunky Chelsea boots just look wrong for some reason, like you can't really dress them up without looking like you have some oversized hand-me downs shoes from your older cousin

You said avoid greens... Some greens, sure, but wouldn't a dark olive green be even more versatile than brown? I feel like that would go with any color denim or chino.

Are Timberland worth it?

whats the pair at 5:30
