Would you?

boots in the OP? No.

Boots in the wiki article? Maybe.

Maybe he's like Sideshow Bob and has ridiculously long feet.

[MENTION=17354]mebejoseph[/MENTION] has a lot of shoes he wears for different events. Thinking about his MTO J. Fitzpatrik button boots or those spiked loafers he has. If anyone on this board can answer, he should be able to.

Yes, indeed--I saw this yesterday and was not sure how to respond.

I would wear any shoe or boot if it fit the occasion or made the statement I wanted to make.

But I can't even see a costume event where I might wear these. A Mexican cowboy elf? I've worn white shoes with an Elvis costume and to a "white party" Burning Man fundraiser--but these are a magnitude over and above anything I've done.

And just for the record, [MENTION=4069]JBarwick[/MENTION] -- I think these are not comparable in any way to my beautiful J. Fitzpatrick button boots.

I think that's some kind of subculture style in Mexico or something? Like, I know it's a thing.

It ain't MY thing, that's for sure.

He was the gringoest of gringoes.

That's my politeness talking though.

Whole box of saltines?

He literally was wearing a mountain dew t-shirt and those wranglers, with a stache to rival the pornest of stars...

If spontaneous water skiing breaks out, that guy is set!

There is a whole subculture which Vice covered:

A dual question would be "how much alcohol would it take to make me pass out" because I would need to be unconscious for those.... things... to be put on my feet.

[Galcobar]

They're not even symmetrical; one boot had the band with either a buckle or a smart watch, the other was plain....

Never been intoxicated enough, and I'm including NOx for dental work and post-surgical general anaesthesia funk.

The amount of alcohol I'd need to think that's a good idea exceeds the amount of alcohol it would take to kill me

Followup question: If so, how drunk would you have to be? (hint: i already know how drunk *HE* was....)

Side note, the people-watching in Vegas is unbelievably good.
