I have also favored boots of various types. With one exception, regular old school cowboy boots. I just don't like the way they look without pants in them or over them. Unless they are worn with no pants, shorts or kilt at all, in effect the naked cowboy look,

which I do find very sexy. Back to boots with a kilt, hiking and work boots and similar styles of military boots of various types have been my go to choices for most casual or kink themed events. But when I am looking for a more formal choice I use lace up ropers, which are actually an alternative a style of cowboy boot.
