i was walking into a lunch appointment the other day, took a look at my new work shoes, and realized something: they’re kind of boring. it got me thinking. what could i wear with a suit that’s not too out there, but pops enough for people to notice. the answer: chelsea boots. why do i want people to notice my shoes? mostly because i work with entertainment clients, but also because men check out other mens shoes. it’s weird, but true. i don’t see many business men in nashville rocking chelsea boots. we’re a very conservative business community, but my job is a little more out of the box. the trick here is finding the right pair of chelsea boots – which is why we turn to english shoe maker crockett & jones. these puppies are nice enough to wear to work, but totally appropriate for post-work and weekend activities. they retail for under $600, so they will not be on my feet any time soon. i’m thinking an after xmas / birthday trip to new york is needed. happy birthday to me (in january).
