Mexican Pointy boots.

[The Wiser Hatter]

Now I saw this on Put This On website yesterday and thought this was some kind of April fools joke. But I have a co worker who is Mexican and he says it is true some of the hats are ok but the boots are a hoot.

There's only two pointed boots I could see ever working on men:

I. Cowboy boots.

II. Beatles boots, or "winklepickers."

The ones in the pictures above are not one of them. I like the hats, though!

Nothing new under the sun. Look up 'poulaines' or 'crackowes'.

Haversack.

Showed my girlfriend the video. She's Mexican. She laughed her head off, as did I

Now now, everyone on this forum looks to the past for fashion inspiration. These young men just look back a bit further than we do.

I didn't say anything, but that's what they kind of reminded me of, medieval or renaissance era pointed boots...

I love the stories about the how and why these developed. Young dance crews "battling" each other at parties for titles.
It's like the early days of hip-hop. Very cool.
