Florsheim Gaffney Wingtip Boot – $120.00
If you’re the kind of guy that spends more time in nice jeans & a blazer at work, and less time in a full suit, then these should be relevant to your interests.
Full on sh*t kicker soles with dressed up leather wingtip tops. Unreal. This is the look you want for a stand-out boot this fall and winter. Lumberjacks will only get you so far, but these can take you everywhere. From home, to work, to out to dinner, and then to a cocktail or two after… all while looking slick thanks to what appears to be decent quality leather and a non stubby profile. It’s those last two points that the similar Urban Outfitters Ritano seems to fall victim to (but for $78, it’s hard to complain about the Ritanos.)
The black version is all smooth leather on the upper, while the brown uses both smooth leather and a middle suede panel. A nice touch for some, but over the top for others.
Free shipping too since the boots run over $100.
I saw these on Asos and they are cheaper. They look really nice and I have never worn a boot like this but I have always admired them when I seem them in films in old settings.
I wish I could pull these off at work. Suits every day.
Wow, those are tempting. If I didn’t already own a pair of black Banana Republic desert boots and a pair of brown KC New York cap-toe combat boots, I would be all over these.
There’s also a good wingtip boot at Urban Outfitters in a lighter brown and black. If I knew how to post a link I would.
I’ve tried these on. The fit is good and they seem to be fairly high quality, but as a downside they are stiff as hell, so be aware.
Also, the brown pair have some suede(-like?) material behind the toe cap that isn’t found on the black ones.
@ Rob: You mean the Ritanos?
Nice design but as I wear suits almost every day I wouldn’t get much wear out of these. Considering the price and the fact that these are Florsheims most likely made of corrected-grain leather. Definitely much classier than construction boots though!
I just bought these and was wondering, if I am wearing these casually should I tuck my jeans into the boot? And if so I should be wearing non-boot cut jeans so that there is not too much bulk around the top.
