A Gentleman Needs Butt Kickin' Boots
Dear Reader:
Violence is never the answer. Hmmm. Let's try that again. Most of the time violence isn't the answer. There are just moments in life when words simply aren't enough to come to a resolution. For example, when the Nazis are running rampid through Europe. I know I'm way behind. However, after finally getting the chance to watch the brilliance that is Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, I'm in a butt kickin' mood. And to be a proper butt kicker, a gentleman simply needs a pair of butt kickin' boots.
Brad Pitt in all of his glory.
A few of my favorite butt kickin' approved boots: ( I wanted to see how many times I could say butt kickin' in the last few sentences. Five. Not a bad showing.)
Below beautiful handmade boots by Helm with distressed calf skin from Holland. $520 covers the cost of the fine craftsmanship and flying the calves First Class from the Hollandic countryside.
The Frye Company has produced dependable footwear since 1863 for the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, as well as Confederate and Union soliders. Just to name a few. Right, the Jackson Engineer with sleek tarnished metal buckles. Left, the Campus 14 L with the fine walnut hue. Both for under $300.
When I'm in need of some help, I know I can always count on Jack, Jim, Jose, and.....L.L.Bean. These Gore-Tex Bison Upland Boots are waterproof and have slip resistant soles for those accident prone gentlemen like myself. All for a mere $149.
Since 1883, Lucchese has been providing cowboys and cowgirls alike fine leather footwear. Prices range from $249-$13,000. For the best deals on these kickers, I'd skip the shoe sale staple Zappos and go directly to Cowboy Chief. Yee-haw! Get along little doggie.
A few recession friendly options: Left, the original butt kicker available at your local Army/Navy Surplus for under $100. Right, a half boot by Herman Survivors with a nice steel toe available at Walmart for $53.
Hey, you never know when an affordable steel toe might come in handy. Just saying.

Brilliant post HPG! A good pair of cowboy boots should be a staple of any American gentleman's wardrobe. I think Lucchese makes hands down the best hand made boots. In fact they are probably the best American shoe maker. The Charlie Horse line doesn't have much handwork, but it is a great price point to get in on. Grapevinehill is a great place to get their boots as well.
