Style Battle: Three Brown Boots – All on sale

Timber. Earthkeepers City 6″ – $79.97 | Fossil Henley – $70.40 | G. Rush Charleson – $196

Normally $160, $128, and $295 respectively.  Free Two Day shipping on all of them as well.

Your jeans want boots.  Brown leather ones to be precise.  They were of course, the natural pairing with denim before Jerry Seinfeld laced up bright white Nikes with his Levi’s and called it good.  That’s an all but dead look, and it’s back to the boot roots we go.  Just keep your casual brown boots the picture of moderation.  Nothing too wide, nor too pointy.  Like any of these three on sale options…

The Earthkeepers: Unlike the much appreciated City 6″ side zip, there’s no zipper on the side of these, but the shape seems to be just about the same.  Toe burnishing looks a little heavy.  But for $80, it’s tough to complain too much.  Interesting that the newest models via Timberland.com have canvas side panels.  Not these though.

The Fossil Henley:  Full grain pebbly leather and the contrast lacing/stitching makes these stick out more than most.  Cap toe and aggressive outsole.  Leans heavily towards casual.

The Gordon Rush Charleston: The dressiest of the bunch, but still has some quick lacing towards the top of the boot.  Also available in black.  Crazy expensive.  Especially for being made in China, but that’s pretty par for the Gordon Rush Course.

Which would you wear?  Your vote goes in the comments section below…
