Opinions welcome on my new Chippewa 8'' laced boot

[SoCalSoftailSlim]

Most folks like the 6'' version of this service boot. But the 8'' have slightly different styling and seem to stand out a bit more. Question is, do they stand out too much? haha.

I always make up my own mind. But opinions welcome from my fellow bootheads.

I've had a pair of the 6" lace-ups for at least a half-a-dozen years, and those 8"ers are definitely nicer looking boots.
If mine ever wear out ...

Thanks for the feedback folks. Detractors welcome as well.

I am leaning toward keeping these pups though. They have a unique look and I think they will get even better with age.

Very nice looking boot. I don't think they stand out too much at all. They appear to have a pleasing rustic character about them.

Not a thing wrong with the look of those boots.

Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to keep these boots. Great quality. And they'll look even nicer broken in, I think.

Style is a key factor for many when it comes to clothing and footwear, and as you get older you find that quality as well as comfort and how long what you wear on your feet will last! The boots you have a super for meeting all the factors as to why you made the right choice. Condition them up, wear them and you should enjoy the service as well as the look from those boots!

I hear ya, LMM. These days I'm all about sturdy Red Wings and Chippewas. They look great, will last a lifetime if you want them to and never go out of style because their profiles are so classic.

Plus my 2268 RW engineers and these 8'' Chips do nicely on the Harley. They are not technical riding boots, but I feel like my dogs are better protected than most cats on Harleys these days.

Nice ones! I like the taller tops on them. And as you pointed out, those will look great after they get a little wear on them.

The kiltie is a nice touch and distinguishes them from other boots out there

Boots look great! Time to wear them out (pun intended).
