Danish Duckfeet, following a recommendation here on TFL.

These are either the most or the least stylish shoes ever, but they sure are comfy. Just took them for a one hour lunch-break stroll across the fields. Like!

Same here!

I have a pair of black Engineers and two pairs of black workboots, but for Chelseas, I always opt for brown. Don’t really know why.
Additionally, all my black boots have some kind of brown contrast to them (brown midsole, unfinished leather edges), so it’s not ‘all black’.

I bought brown Chelseas after all. Suede ones, so even more dress-down.

They don't look as bad as most of the " barefoot " footwear with that atrocious toebox shape.
I think they look appropriately shaped and I figure most people wouldn't be able to notice the difference, I'd absolutely wear them without feeling like I looked goofy.

If you ever want a similar veldskoen or chukka that has a quite wide toe box while still looking normal though you should check out a pair of Jim Green, you can get a pair that look the same as these.
A slightly taller upper than these appear to be , but if you desired something nearly identical you could order from their custom shop and get a shoelie made on their wide toe box JG last.

I just ordered these light brown rose anvil kitties to add to the USGI black ICW boots.
I just want to brighten them up a bit , I doubt they'll look like PNW's but the brown kitties and brown 375 paracord should really transform them into something that doesn't scream " BLACK COMBAT BOOTS "

I hate kilties. Just make the boots look fat and ugly. And realistically almost no one needs for our use cases.

Ha, they look just as stylish or not stylish as my Vivo.
My wife says to me: "You're already stylish." Look down at my Vivos "if you ignore the duckfoot shoes" lol
But I'm getting used to the look. If only they weren't so incredibly comfortable.

I will definitely look more it o that subject. I realy like that the Duckfeet don’t have that “die-hard barefoot” look. The leather is really nice too.

For me, these are the coolest barefoot shoes. Unfortunately not my price range. But I've ordered the black Carpenters from Gaucho.Ninja and will see how they are. If I'm blown away by them, maybe I can talk myself into the brown ones.
