What's the new shoes everyone has on?

[Texas Beta]

Ok, I missed the Mexico trip today due to finals.

I really want a new pair of boots. I don't want to spend more than $600, which isn't really much for a nice pair of boots. A store here in Austin sells "long horn boots" is what they call them, they're ostrich, burnt orange on the bottom, white on top with an orange longhorn. I'm probably going to get these, the only reason I wouldn't is because after college, and football games, when am I ever going to wear them? Anyone reading this that goes to Texas football games has surely seen these boots before.

My reasoning for getting them is that I can always buy really nice dress boots, for half the price, through an organization I am in later next semester. Would buying those boots be a waste?

You can wear them again when you are 80 years old and parking your black Cadillac with longhorns mounted on the hood in the Longhorn Foundation lot in front of the stadium.

Hell yeah, have you seen the guy who owns the yellow rose's car? It's a 350z, burnt orange, burnt orange tint, and giant longhorns on the front. I guess because he owns a strip club he can be that tacky.

I guess you think the boots are a bad idea?

[EE-BO]

I dunno. Not something I would get for me- but I don't really like ostrich boots. Had a pair once and sold them on eBay after a while. The pair you are talking about is something I have seen advertised in Texas Monthly (Capitol Saddlery, right?) before- and they are pretty sharp.

If you have the money handy- go for it. You know you are going to come to games for the rest of your life like any real Longhorn- so you can use them.

I agree, I plan on going to football games until I am physically unable to. I also plan on going downtown a lot more. I think I'll go get fitted for them tomorrow. I can always get my dress boots next semester. If anything else, I can pass these boots down to my son (hopefully I have one and he wears the same shoe size as I do). I'm not too worried about what school he'll go to

Maybe passing footware down is a little gross. :P

I would say passing down like tennis shoes are gross, but boots are okay. My dad passed down a pair of boots to me.

Someone starts a thread about shoes and you all come running, huh?
