Find the Right Style
Choose from a wide range of styles to find the best boot to finish your look. These are a few of the most common styles of men’s boots:
- Steel toe: Steel-toed boots, also known as safety or work boots, are steel capped boots in order to protect the toes of the wearer from falling objects or compression. This is usually combined with a mid-sole plate to protect against punctures from below as well. Steel-toed boots can be made of composite material including a plastic or aluminum cap.
- Leather: Leather boots are unique in that they can be mass produced or can be custom-made for your feet. Either way, a leather boot pairs easily with jeans and a t-shirt or a business casual look. Leather boots can be made from many different types of leather. Examples include pigskin, bovine, kidskin (goat), or cordovan (horse). You can even have leather in the sole of the boot or the heel. There are also many different types of leather such as suede, pull-up leather, roughout leather, veg-tanned leather, and genuine leather. Make sure that you know which type of leather boot you are getting and what type of care will be needed to keep them looking nice. Special considerations for leather boots include the need to waterproof them. Leather is susceptible to water damage so make sure you are protecting your boots the right way so that they continue to last.
- Work boots: Work boots are typically a heavy, rigid boot meant to protect the feet while working in a factory, on a construction site, or in other places susceptible to certain types of foot injuries. Some work boots are not very flexible, so make sure you check the flexibility of the brands if you are in constant motion. Depending on the wearer, gel inserts may be necessary to help keep the feet from being tired or too sore.
- Chukka boots: These are an ankle high leather or suede boot with rubber leather or rubber soles, and open lacing with two or three pairs of eyelets. Chukka boots are a form of desert boot originally worn by British soldiers during World War II during the Desert Campaign. Chukka boots are great for daily casual wear or to wear to work, provided that you’re not working in an environment that requires a steel toe. Chukka boots are currently a hot men’s fashion trend.
- Hiking boots: Hiking boots are similar in construction to a work boot, although there are distinct differences. For example, a hiking boot is lightweight since it is designed for long periods of travelling on foot. They have more cushion in the sole of the boot. Hiking boot are also more flexible than many other boots since they are used for walking over uneven terrain. Lastly, hiking boots include grooves to increase stability and traction. Hiking boots are popular choices for both hiking enthusiasts and everyday wear.
- Cowboy boots: A cowboy boot is normally made of cowhide leather, which may be decoratively hand tooled. They can also be made from exotic skins such as alligator, snake, ostrich, lizard, eel, elephant, stingray, elk, etc. Cowboy boots have two major types: western and roper. The western, or classic, style cowboy boot is distinguished by a tall boot shaft going at least to the mid-calf with an angled, “walking” heel. While roper style boots have a short boot shaft coming just above the ankle but before the mid-calf with a square, very low heel.
- Dress boots: A short leather boot worn by men is typically built like dress shoes but with an upper area covering the ankle. The upper part of the boot is typically a softer material such as suede or canvas. Dress boots have less tolerance for fit than the other previously mentioned boots. They are more expensive.
- Desert boots: a lightweight alternative ideal for men who want to combine the look of a boot with the fit of an oxford shoe.
