Is this really an offensive thing? I mean, it's one thing to actually wear full camo (eg. an actual entire uniform of a soldier), but quite another to just wear a pair of boots that happen to be made for the military. It's not like I'm passing off myself as a military personnel, I just like the boots.

And keep in mind, shoes like the ubiquitous and famous GATs were designed and made for the German military, but nobody bats an eye if an ordinary civilian wears them. I'm sure that's not the only example of military clothing passing into the pool of fashion and civilians.

Also, I'm pretty sure the specs for the SFBs available for the general public isn't exactly correct or to standard for the US military forces, anyway, though I'd need more sources on that.

Finally: W2C them in pure snow white like pic related? I like that colorway the best.

Not offensive at all.

>> No.10266514

I get where the guy from the other thread is coming from, but I don't exactly agree. Same with your post OP, GATs used to be used for military purposes but now has become casual footwear. The SFBs on the other hand, are designed for tactical use and look the part as well. I guess what I'm saying is, it really all depends on what the item in question looks like and is it suitable for everyday casual use.
But if YOU like what you see, why don't you just wear it?

People in the military will probably assume you're either in or a fag. Anyone who actually cares though is a huge fag and you shouldn't care anyway.

But on a more important note do you really want to buy meem shoes you're wearing cause you saw shia wearing on /fa/?

Army Infantry here, no one actually in the military would give two fucks if you wore those. Go ahead man they just look kinda gay in civillian clothes when you live near a military base. I could see them working in NYC or some fashion oriented town.

Wear them in Fayetville NC and you'll look like a cherry fuck who cant afford civillian shoes cause he got a mustang at a 20% interest rate and his wife eats 300$ worth of food in a week.

these boots are cool but 95% of the people i've seen posting their looks with them can not pull them off

they look incredibly off if your fit is 'fashion' oriented, if you're skinny as a twig, if you're fat, if you don't lift in some regard

basically if you can't pull of a "was in the military at one point" look you will look retarded in these

Was nervous when they were new, but did some hiking on the weekend (~16 miles), and the feel great now broken in (comfy as fuck). It dirtied them up real nice too, which I think is the biggest thing. Clean / new they look too military, all dirty they just look like boots.

Back when I was sixteen I used to hang out at this local auto shop that was run by mostly retired military personnel.

I remember when I first started going there, I wore this O.D. green field jacket that was obviously styled after a military garment. I'm pretty sure it didn't have any insignia on it, but I distinctly remember walking through the bay door and everyone simultaneously giving me the side eye.

At first I didn't know what the issue was until the shop manager walked up to me and promised that if I wore anything like that again, that he would personally beat the shit out of me.

I haven't worn anything remotely suggestive of any military affiliation since. It's really not worth the risk.
