It\u2019s 2019, and men are now trying to choose between chukkas,\nBalmorals, Chelseas, Jodhpurs, cowboy boots and more. If you\u2019re struggling to\npick the best boot for your lifestyle, workplace and outfit, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chukkas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These soft, shorter boots go well with casual pants, such as\njeans, cords or khakis. Because you can see your socks, you can roll your jeans\nup and choose some playful socks to show your fun side. Chances are, most of your\nshoes are already brown or black, so go for tan-colored Chukkas if you have to\nchoose only one pair due to budget constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Balmorals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think oxford shoes in boot form. If you wear a lot of formal\noutfits or three-piece suits, this is a good choice. If you don\u2019t go to a lot\nof formal events, save your money for a more versatile shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chelseas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelseas have an elastic side panel and a loop or tab at the\nback to help you pull it on. The boot is close-fitting at the ankle and comes\nin a variety of colors. This versatile boot works with casual clothes or suits\nand comes with or without a cap toe and broguing. You can even choose an insert\nin a fun color to express your personal style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jodhpurs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jodhpurs are flat boots with no broguing that provide a\nclean look with a buckle around the ankle. This classic boot pairs with jeans,\nchinos, casual suits and sport coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cowboy boots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a fashionable cowboy boot (vs. a traditional cowboy boot used to work on a farm or ranch) is about fit, material, heel and personal style. In addition to leather boots, many cowboy boots are made with alligator or snakeskin. They come in a wide variety of colors, but of course, black and brown will be more versatile. Classic Western Style boots will stand about 12\u201d tall on your leg, while Shorties only stand about 6\u201d to 10\u201d. Choose a sock that reaches the full height of the boot to avoid irritation that can come with the material rubbing against your skin. When trying on boots, the ball of your foot should hit the widest part of the boot. Your heel shouldn\u2019t slide when you walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need some tips on choosing a dress boot?
