The feel of tall boots

I work in an office. I can't really wear my boots outside my pants as it doesn't fit the office dress code. I do, however, really like the feel of tall boots on my legs. Today I'm wearing my tall Champion Attitude Cavalry Boots with a pair of dress pants over them. The boots peeking out from under my pants look just like dress black shoes of some sort. But the feel of the boot shaft all the way up my legs to right under my knees tells this Bootman what's on his legs. It's a great feeling.

Only problem is that the weatherdudes got the prediction of rain wrong, and instead of rain happening late today, it was already raining this morning. These boots I have on have all-leather soles, so they are subject to slipping on wet surfaces. Had I known, I might have worn boots with tread soles for better grip. I'll just walk carefully.

I do exactly the same thing: wear boots under trousers, so they look like smart dress shoes. This works particularly well with my Chippewa hi-shines and Goldtop police boots. Once, with the latter, my secretary noticed and asked, "do you have a motorbike?" - which I don't. Turned out she'd gone out with a biker in the early '70s and remembered the style. "You should wear those more often," she said. Always nice to get good feedback!
