okay, need some boots as the recent weather showed just how shite trainers are when it's wet and snowy.
i quite like these and tried them on in bank yesterday, were 100 quid there but can get them for 55 quid on mandmdirect.
not sure if they look a bit gay though?
or could just get some timberland's, these ones:
any suggestions are appreciated also, cheers.

Top ones look good. Those Timberlands look horrendous.

I got some Timberland Earthkeepers recently but they are too good to be walking round in the snow in Some normal Timberland 6" boots would be my choice for snow.

Assuming you mean the normal sand coloured Timbies you get, agreed. I've found a pair I got about 5 or 6 years ago and they've been great - best thing about them is the fact they're wateproof.

those are nice but not sure if they look a bit chavvy?
ideally i want some boots that i can go out in to restaurants and what not.
i'm such a fussy shopper and i hate walking round shops trying on stuff

Those first ones are nice mate, as long as you like them who gives a fuck if people think they look gay.

i don't care what people think really, just not sure if i suit them
might just buy them and walk around with a limp wrist and embrace the gayness.

i want something that looks a bit different from my work boots really.
i have steel toe capped dealer boots which i am quite fond of but fancy something a bit more fashionable for the rare times i go out with the missus

Been bloody awesome in the snow. Smart enough to wear to restaurants etc but also rugged enogh for snow etc.
They are really grippy too.

Like the first ones as well. The timbie ones are worn by 95% chavs and the other boots look like something jls would wear
