Not my style, but I could see them working on someone else. Do they sell them at Lord & Taylor? There's an online coupon floating around that would give you 25% those boots, if they sell them: http://www.lordandtaylor.com/common/vip_coupon.jsp?cm_mmc=Message%20Board-_-0-_-12%3a00%3a00%20AM-_-12%3a00%3a00%20AM I’d say DAPPER.

I have a couple pairs of his boots. They are amazing. If you are worried about them being to over the top he also has other styles that are more casual. I tend to do the more casual styles myself. It's all about what you think you can pull off well Dapper and Crapper.

If you want shoes that scream "HEY LOOK AT MY FANCY SHOES!!!!" then these should do it. At least with Fluevog you have the benefit of something quirky and unique looking, these just look like cheese. BTW, you should check the sales/clearance section of zappos.com. They often have discounted Mark Nason shoes and boots in there (although not especially cheap even on sale, you won't be paying full retail). Crapper for me, but it’s all about personal style.

But if you really want them wait a few months, they are so fugly and expensive Nordys will have them marked down in no time. $500=crazy! Very crapper!

I'm all for some interesting detailing on shoes, but I think that having it done to this level limits their wearability with some stuff. But if it's just for pairing with jeans and you're going to a bbq at Rob Zombie's house, I can't think of a better pair of kicks to splurge on. I just like my shoes to be slightly more versatile. Incidentally, zappos.com carries Mark Nason, and they have a ton of his other boots (in less spastic styles) in the $300 range. Can't argue with free shipping either. I say crapper.

Where the hell is the clothes that normal people wear? Maybe things are different out on the coasts (does it matter which?), but here in the Midwest if you showed up wearing goofy ass boot-shoes with jeans that had a dragon running from the ass down the leg, you'd get laughed out of the place by your friends. Do people actually buy and wear the things in those mags??

Then decide. I was a bit taken aback by the photo at first, but most of the shoe will be covered by your pant leg, and that will go a long way toward toning them down and making them look reasonable. But be prepared to shell out extra $$ for an appropriate belt. Go try ‘em on. Then decide.

Sorry. No. Um, no. I can't give reasons without insulting an entire continent (South America). Where they try to be forward thinking and hip (aka European) but are really 1 1/2 years behind and shop at outlet malls in the summer (their winter) looking for bargains to take home. It's like the guy that wears TOO much cologne. Are those studs on the shoes? And suede? The shape is awesome though. Just take off a few layers of fluff. No. No. No. Oh man no. Sorry. No. Um, no.
