So I've been a skater since I was a kid and there's always been questionable fashion choices within the skater culture since the beginning. And shoes are no exception but it doesn't matter because they don't last long from the abuse of skateboarding and rubbing on grip tape aka sandpaper. So usually I would get a 2nd pair to wear casually so I wasn't walking around with holes in my shoes. In the last year or so I wanted to get some nice dress/casual boots that I could go for hikes or random nights out/dates or actually have something that had traction in the rain/snow. What I've notice is I get treated better and I notice I get positive attention from guys and girls when I'm dress like some rugged wannabe cowboys, I get it and I understand to a certain extent but it seems as if when I wear my sneakers I'm ignored but when I wear my boots with something that suits them I have an extra bit of presence and women are more flirtatious with me... I just find it all so trivial and stupid, of course I do other things to maintain myself or look good but I find it so bizarre that something so simple can change other people's perspectives of me.
