5 Types of Boots Every Guy Should Own
About this video
McGoff and guest Nick English discuss the five essential boot types that should form a well-rounded boot collection. They cover service boots, mock toe boots, chelsea boots, chukka boots, and fun boots, explaining each style’s defining characteristics, versatility, and specific product recommendations to help men build a practical footwear foundation.
Key takeaways
- McGoff recommends prioritizing boot types rather than brands or colors when building a collection, as different styles serve distinct purposes and outfit combinations
- McGoff argues that service boots offer all-purpose versatility through their 6-inch height, Goodyear welt construction, and durable full grain leather, making them an ideal foundational boot
- McGoff suggests adding a fun or eye-catching boot to an otherwise understated outfit as a way to gain confidence and compliments without overdoing one’s overall style
