I was having this conversation yesterday with my cousin, we talked about music and about subcultures and why do they wear certain clothes or have certain specific traits. For instance, hippies had long hair because they rejected the fact that to go to the military they had to cut their hair and also because of the liberation era. My doubt is: Why do metallers and goths wear combat boots? what is the symbology behind their use? Is it merely for aesthetic reasons or because of the influence the bands had in the fans clothes? I wanted to clear this out. If someone could help me I would apprechiate it.
I'm not sure i posted this on the right forum,im sorry if I didnt.

My new boots are finally here, I can't wait to put them on. They are the called parachute boots. I bought it to a guy who sells them for the army, quite a good price. And my older ones are 4 years-old now, they could use some resting.

Anyway, I buy them because they are beautiful and comfortable.

i work at a junior college bookstore. and since the only people that come into the bookstore during the middle of the semester only buy junkfood, i dont have much to do and end up standing behind a cash register without a chair for 4 hours. and Vans are awful when it comes to padding and support, so these boots are gonna come in handy.

Only four hours? Damn, you're lucky. I actually used to wear combat boots when I was working because after I got in-soles for them, they were very comfy... I used mine working 8 ~ 12 hour shifts at the catering company. On my feet the entire time. Even in the boots, sometimes it was murder. x_x

yeah see you actually DO STUFF at your job. my feet never hurt when i was washing dishes at a retirement home for a living because i was always moving, mainly due in part that my head chef was actually Adolf Hitler. but now that im stuck behind a cash register and my bosses refuse to give me something to sit on, i had to resort to big ass nazi boots in order to compensate. doesnt food service suck?

That does suck, but please let me assure you that there is no universe in which walking around for that many hours on a concrete floor is any better than standing for that many hours on a concrete floor. After a while it all becomes the same... Although me washing dishes at the catering company was always a spectacle because each one of the three sinks was big enough for me to sleep in. Ahahaha....

Once I accidentally drained them all at once (a horrible novice mistake, I dunno what my problem was that day) and flooded the back corner up to my ankles. That was a sad day for my boots.

yeah foodservice all becomes the same after awhile. but the retirement home one of my coworkers gave me a fifth of top shelf finnish vodka for MOTHERS DAY. yeah even on holidays which dont apply to me, my coworkers get me gifts, gifts that will one day kill me. but yeah i start work for the next semester tomorrow and im gonna relish in my coworkers opinions of my gigantic boots hahahaha

Ugh! I used to work at a Couche-Tard (a chain of convenience stores), and work two eight hour shifts, without a seat and was predominantly stuck behind a cash register when there was nothing else to do. It was awful. The first few weeks, my back was killing me as were my feet, and I just crashed and vedged in my or my ex's room for the entire night afterwards. I didn't feel like doing anything. Thankfully, I got a better job at a random convenience store where, I'm stuck doing the same thing for eight hours, but now I can sit down and watch movies if I so desire! :]

yeah see thats too br00tal for me. i'd just get bored and come into work blasted as fuck on drugs drink or both. i would see no meaning to my life at that point. my job makes me fat. it in no way attempts to encourage a healthy lifestyle because theres no real work involved. at my old job i was always running around and making people do things things i couldnt do because my workload was enough as it was. now i can come into work hungover ars shit and people will congratulate me.

How I know, it's a possible to find model for winter months, with special wadding. In my country its's normal when during the winter months temperature can be -20C. I need rock/metal fashion boots for low temperature (something like STEEL or GRINDERS). I live in Eastern Europe. Im trying to find and to order boots for this winter.
Hey, guys and girls, maybe someone knows, where I can order this model?

I'm really obsessed with boots. I've had this pair of Grinders cherry ruboff boots since I was 15 (almost 10 years). I just discovered they don't even make them in that color anymore.


I also have a pair of cherry Docs (a substantially inferior shoe to the Grinders)


And when I'm not scaring old ladies (which is most of the time these days), I wear these Steve Madden chompies.
