I wear boots to work everyday even when I wear my suits. Granted, these are very nice dress boots. Suits and boots FTW

The others I don't simply because I'm in a suit.

I have a nice pair of ropers that cost more than your suit. Nothing wrong with wearing a nice pair of boots with a suit.

I think as long as you're not wearing crocs you're ahead of the game.

Rural Northern cal.

Woman wear english riding boots to shop. They are letting you know they have horses. Still wearing riding pants.

Men wear work boots for the most part. If a man wore cowboy boots no one would give it a 2nd thought.

Hot women wear cowboy boots. Its a look.

Laborers wear them a lot outside of Texas. Steel toed cowboy boots, see the electricians and such with them on a lot in the power industry.

If women can wear boots with knee length dresses and be fashionably accepted then I think you should be good in wearing your boots wherever and whenever.

Extremely common in Mississippi and Louisiana(maybe not downtown Nola or BR).

I've got dress boots I wear to court for work.

I've got different boots I wear to work on the farm.

I would never wear my farm boots to court and I'd never wear my dress boots to work the farm.

Are we talking everyday Ariats like those seen in LA plants? Or the ornate boots with chrome tips and fancy stitching?

I certainly wouldn't judge anyone wearing Ariats but the decorative boots would get a guy roasted by me.

Being a real estate agent in MS is probably like being a ski lift operator in Louisiana

Oh yeah, if I saw someone at work in those bedazzled boots you see at the store, I'd point and laugh my arse off.

I work in a law office in Atlanta and I occasionally see dudes like me wearing nice ropers or something.

I've done it, though now I've got some chelsea boots that are easier and probably more office friendly.

I wouldn't wear actual cowboy boots or most Ariat styles unless your office is totally casual. I know nice cowboy boots work in Texas but it would be weird here.

Have you ever been to Mississippi? I feel like half these f@$&ers only own boots.
