They're amazing, and I'm sure you can carry them off.
Those are so camp, even Tom of Finland would have nightmares.

In all seriousness - and not at all accusatory but genuinely curious about the world in general and differences between how men and women feel they can dress - I wonder if people would react differently to The Glorious Boots* if it were a female poster considering them?
*all hail.
Eta: before anyone feels defensive, I think people would still definitely think they were disgusting but be more...permissive?... about the prospect of a woman wearing them.

but be more...permissive?... about the prospect of a woman wearing them.You need a nice Marlborough jacket to go with them.
FWIW I personally wouldn't wear those boots, even if they were available in my size, but if they fill somebody's heart with joy and they've got the personality to wear them, then who am I to tell them they're wrong?
I know that there are things which look either hideous or amazingly daft on me but great on another person, and vice versa - long may that continue.

Maybe you're right. For me it would depend more on the poster rather than the gender though.
I figured bees probably wouldn't mind the mocking and would be expecting it. Much like Onket and the camo trim kickers.
If anyone had bought those boots, I would have waited to see how they described them. If they introduced them as the most amazing boots ever that they loved more than crisps I wouldn't dream of saying anything. If they said, I've seen these boots, they're slightly ridiculous and ugly but great too then I'd take my lead from them and mock them.
Generally if I think something is hideous I would say nothing unless I thought the poster would be comfortable with some gentle or not so gentle pisstaking.
Sorry, I'm rambling now.

Anyone, male or female, who wears those boots is a wrong 'un. Fact.

Bought some stuff in the sale today.
A North Ridge fleece £24.
A Marmot jacket £74
A pair of Rab gloves to keep me hands warm due to crap circulation. They were priced at about £40 I think, but it appears they didn't scan them through the till. Maybe I distracted the person at the till by talking about snowmen.
Some thermal socks too, and the obligatory Kendal Mint Cake (aka crack).

Hardly getting over it.

I don't have a prejudice against cowboy boots, as long as they're worn with spurs.

Latest purchases (for a wedding in January) are a charcoal grey tonic suit, and a grey fedora.

I bought a scarf in haste but it turned out to be a 'lady' scarf.

Unless it says 'this scarf is a lady's scarf' in bold letters all across it, I'm sure no-one will notice.

I did that with a hat. I picked it up in Camden for a tenner when it started raining, wore it to the pub and got a thorough piss-taking from my mates. It does look better on Kris, tbf.

It's more of a shawl than a scarf
I'm imagining orang doing the dance of the seven veils with a selection of silky scarves now, for some reason.
I like your boots bees and you know I have impeccable taste
I think the problem with those boots is contextual, as far as I'm concerned. They look like they might be worn by someone in a shit metal band who wears leather trousers and sunglasses indoors.
If they were woman's boots, the associations would be different, so they wouldn't be so immediately vomit-worthy.
