What's with this (from a recent post): "Only wear boots for practical reasons."

For years I would only wear boots, and again I find myself wearing them more and more. Chelsea, chukka, desert or whatever. Army boots in bad weather. With the exception of driving mocs and black brogues, I'd be happy enough to ditch all my other shoes.

One small advantage is that I like I like to wear funky socks in bright colours, and these seem less of an affectation whilst wearing boots.

So, do you gravitate more to boots, or more to shoes?
