they are so “fashionable” right now, but I honestly don’t understand why.
I like only a few.

Nice coats, but working boots with a skirt ? No.

I don’t really like work boots, but I like how they styled it!

Love this kind of boots! I’ve already took my sisters’ work boots from 90′s out of the colset, literally!

The outfit in pic 1 looks really nice and comfy, but the girl in pic 2 just looks sloppy,and not in a nice “sprezzatura” sorta way. Kind of reminds me of Elaine’s style from Seinfeld.

I’m not so sure that boots reflect my style but I like the outfit of woman in first pic!

Interesting! The lady on the right is doing work boots in a very cute way, and has chosen boots with clean classy lines & matchy bag. But there is no way to do cute with the boots the chick on the lest is sporting. Her look is in your face, more about gender bending.

The kind of boots the woman in the right picture is wearing, has been extremely popular here in Denmark the past couple of winter seasons. They have even appeared on the runway at Copenhagen Fashion Week FW12. I believe she is wearing Wolverine’s ‘Apprentice’ model.

This is a great boot if you are super feminine – otherwise it can be a bit of a minefield. I won’t be trying it! xxx These girls look great!

I have been wanting to buy a pair of timberland boots for a few years but I was undecided… now I think yes!

After thinking about it a bit, the left-hand girl may be a looker who does not feel like getting hit on by the more traditional, boring type of guys today. She might be tired of seeing guys drool. By dressing that way, she “weeds out” the guys & only the more confident ones will dare approach her.

I’m so glad you verbalized this – someone else (I wish I could remember who!) was quoted saying she dressed the way she did to weed out the typical men who wouldn’t understand it. She wanted the more interesting, intellectual guy.

… and I can tell you from personal experience it does work very well.

I don’t think I could pull them off, but these two do perfectly!

Sad, though, that so many photos on The Sartorialist are of women staring at their phones. Not Scott”s fault, of course, only reflecting the world. But why dress up if no one’s looking at anything but their phones?

I like number 2 however I personally prefer combat boots ( doc martens, paratrooper boots ) or a sort of schoolboy boot look to these.

On women–much hotter, to me, when used for actual work, e.g…sculpting, painting, woodworking, landscaping, gardening.
Sissa
November 28, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I like the coats more than the boots, but the woman in the second photo– her boots are something I’d wear and her whole outfit is something I’d dream about wearing but couldn’t pull off in reality.

Work & other seriously rugged boots are the bee’s knees. Timberlands, Cats, Red Wings, Docs, Fryes… love ‘em all. (I don’t think I’d wear Wolverines with a skirt, but Carolina pole climbers? Red Wing Engineers? Hell yeah.) Boots do, however, need to show some serious wear to look good. Otherwise they just look posey.

Neither of these look very good to me. For women and work boots look no further than Patti Smith! Now she has style and shabby chic in abundance . . .

I really like working boots, but especially worn with some jeans like on photo one!

Love the look! Wolverine do the best boots for this trend: rugged and elegant at the same time (http://www.wolverine.com/US/en/WomensCollection)

I think the red ones would look kinda cool and interesting on almost anyone. The ones on the left are only great on these lucky girls who look good and edgy in absolutely anything. If you are not one of these – I’m not – it might look like someone really out of date like they’ve been wearing them since the 90s (that’s my take from UK, not sure about US – were the left ones as ubiquitous over there in the 90s as here?)

When my granma used to sigh and roll her eyes at the boots I’d always ask “What!? You can dress ‘em up or down!”
Thank you Scott!

I saw the timbs coming out of the woodwork online and wondering if it will be a lasting trend or a short, somewhat kitschy fad. Thoughts?

I have a pair of classic Carolina Loggers that I am in love with and have been for years. As far as I’m concerned, they never get old, style-wise I mean.

HI ! writing to you from Siena, Italy. A city where Timberlands are a winter uniform staple. Maybe in other parts of the world she looks original but in my city.. she looks like everyone else.. a clone.

Everyone has got a pair of Timberland boots in London this year! I don’t know how it happened! But apparently they are super comfortable and warm.

I would say if you are thinking about work boots for women… DON’T! (unless you actually need them for work.)

i love the right “red wing”style.she is lovely feminine and doesn`t have to worry cold feet or rain.and she is looking very cool,strong and sweet,feminine at the same time.
very natural and very interesting.
