IMHO the way you present yourself is a direct reflection upon you and your character. In my case, I am traditional, conservative, and within the confines of my own limits, love the flair and finer items, but not the look of being outlandish or a trend-setter. So, as my own personal flair, I will stay with traditional shoes, and keep the style cowboy boots with my jeans. High fashion to me is weird, to far over the top, and the people in that business do things and wear items to make statements and draw attention. The Scottish black Ghillie Boots apparently are traditional, but not my taste or personal flair, I would rather purchase a real nice set of hose, or sporran then invest in boots. Sometimes I wear a pair of 18th century reproduction buckle shoes, that are very traditional but lace up boots, have to pass on that one. I prefer wearing items that really don't make a statement, other than I prefer tradition. Cheers all.
