Pretty much every guy can rock sneakers. And most men own a pair of dress shoes. Boots, however, are a heavily underutilized form of footwear, and we think it’s because not many people know where to start. That’s a shame since men’s boots come in such a wonderful range of designs, heights, materials, etc. In this essential guide, we’re outlining the different types of men’s boots and giving some pointers on how and when to wear them.

3. Boots
There’s a lot to love about boots. Not only
can they add a perfect touch to almost any
outfit, but they’re also incredibly durable,
standing up to wear and tear and looking
better for it. However, with so many boot
styles and options available, finding your
ultimate pair can be challenging. After all,
there’s a lot to consider, including style,
comfort, and quality. Luckily, we’re here to
explain you the best leather boots for men.
4. Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots are close-fitting, ankle-high
boots with an elastic side panel. They often
have a loop or tab of fabric on the back of
the boot, enabling the boot to be pulled on.
Chelsea boots for men began life in
England in the mid-19th century and didn’t
stray far from home until recently. The
elasticized wonders were a staple of the
mid-’60s mod scene and protected the feet
of seemingly every British invader from
John to Ringo. Recently they’ve seen a
revival on many of menswear’s best
dressed. The silhouette is very slim and
features elastic side panels and heel pull-
tabs.
5. How to style a
Chelsea Boot.
Chelsea boots are extremely versatile and
can be successfully worn with both casual
and more formal styles. Their
straightforward and clean design means
that they can complement a range of outfits
without clashing or seeming uncoordinated.
So, whether you wear them with jeans or a
suit, these shoes can look great. Creating a
top Chelsea boot outfit comes down to
dressing for the occasion and going from
there. Whether you’re aiming for
a casual, smart casual, business
casual or semi-formal look will affect which
black chelsea boots you should wear and
the items that you should wear with them.
6. Hiking Boots
Hiking boots are footwear specifically
designed for protecting the feet and ankles
during outdoor walking activities such as
hiking. Hiking boots are constructed to
provide comfort for walking considerable
distance over rough terrain.
7. Why Hiking
Boots?
If you just want the maximum protection and
a shoe that will last (potentially) for
thousands of miles, go with a best hiking
boot. I don’t wear them anymore, but when I
did they were tough as nails. Overall they’re
heavier and require more energy to hike
with. If you are going off-trail or want
something very beefy for all conditions,
including winter, a hiking boot is a good
choice. They are one of the most important
items of hiking gear, since their quality and
durability can determine a hiker's ability to
walk long distances without injury.
8. Chukka Boots
Chukka boots are ankle-high leather boots
with suede or leather uppers, leather or
rubber soles, and open lacing with two or
three pairs of eyelets. Chukkas are usually
made from calfskin or suede, although they
can be made from other materials. About as
casual as all-leather boots get, the chukka
boot was first worn by British soldiers in
Africa during World War II.
9. How to style a
Chukka Boot.
Although chukka boots for men are
inherently casual, they can also be worn
as dress shoes and suit both smart
casual and business casual outfits. All you
need is the perfect outfit to pair them with,
which is where we can help. Rocking your
chukkas for a casual look is easy. These
cool boots are great shoes to wear with
jeans and can match a range of tops and
jackets. For an impressive ensemble, try
pairing your boots with blue jeans, a white
button-down and a denim jacket.
10. Desert boots
Defining a desert boot is easy: it’s an ankle-
height lace-up boot, most commonly with a
beige or khaki-colored suede upper and a
crepe sole. In other words, it’s a two-
eyelet chukka boot made out of suede and
crepe. While the suede / crepe combination
is the original version, nowadays there are
countless versions in a multitude of colors.
11. When to wear a
Desert Boot.
Desert boots in classic colors like brown,
beige and black are ideal for smart casual
occasions. Perfect for when you need to get
ready in a flash, these boots can quickly be
thrown on with a pair of slim chinos and a
neutral button-up shirt for a sleek look. Men
desert boots can look fantastic with a range
of outfits. However, they are best suited to
those that are casual. For a cool, casual
look, try rocking a pair of desert boots with
jeans. You can even cuff or roll up the
bottoms to stylishly show off your shoes and
project an awesome relaxed vibe.
12. Wingtip Boots
The wingtip, whose brogued details such as
stitching and perforations on the quarter,
the vamp, and the toe of the shoe bring a
touch of formal embellishment to casual
footwear, is dressed up enough to be worn
with a suit and laid back enough to end up
under denim or a pair of cords. But they’re
not a mullet shoe: they’ve been around long
enough to look equally good in either
context.
13. When to wear a
Wingtip Boot.
Wingtip boots can be worn with a suit,
trouser, denim and corduroy , though they
are commonly known as dress boots. The
shoes look more elegant if worn with top
coat and navy jackets
