Tucking trousers into boots

On monday I went for a walk again, with my trousers tucked inside my boots. I have been doing this more often recently. Normally my boots are 'hidden away' inside the trousers.

Until recently I wouldn't have the confidence to walk around with my boots on show like that - apart from wearing wellies in the winter. For some strange reason it isn't accepted fashion for men to wear tall boots on show, apart from safety boots or similar, and then you need to be wearing suitable clothing or it looks a bit strange.

Many years ago I had a few pairs of the fake tall converse, this time they were made by Hi-Tec. I wore them all the time. When I was on my own I would often tuck my trousers in the boots and lace them up. I only wore them like this once outside, when I walked into town. I just felt too self-concious to wear them like that routinely. These days I often wear my boots like that, but usually only when there is a close to zero chance of bumping into somebody I know.
