men's boots

I was interested in a pair of YSL Otto boots, which are tall boots for men: I was curious of an outside opinion on this style of boot. Is it generally read/seen as feminine for men to wear boots this height? By that I mean with them actually showing fully like in these photos, or are you...

Looking for good button boots. Unfortunately I only seem to find ones from England that cost a fortune, Stacy Adams, ones that are "handmade in Pakistan", or have a zipper up the back. Anybody know where I can get a good pair that won't set me back? I'm almost afraid to find out answers ..
