I'll be buying my first pair of quality boots soon and I have decided on Katahdin Engineer boots by LL Bean, pic related. Can I wear these with black jeans? Specifically Levi's Rigid Dragon 511s. Any Suggestions or advice for entry level boot owners welcome

I just got cucked by some chad and need some new boots, are these totally effay?
imo dark brown boots don't go well with black pants
either get lighter boots for a contrast or black boots for matching
maybe try Wolverine 1000 Mile or one of the Red Wing heritage line. They come in plenty of colors.

is there a versatile color to wear with both blue and black jeans?

just buy some chippewa apaches, theyre the same thing as the katahdins but cheaper and a lighter brown

Is there any difference in quality? iirc the katahdin is actually a colab with chippewa, I may just be paying $40 extra dollars to have no logo on the side

Mine have been great for three years now. as other stated, brown boots/black jeans is a no-no. Once worn-in they're comfy af, but not warm nor do they have much traction. initially, they have a waxy coating, but wear and polishing makes em look normal eventually

the no brown shoes with black pants rule is a business wear meme. completely okay if your belt matches and are dressing casually

it still clashes imo. if you wanna wear darker pants with brown boots you gotta have either dark brown boots or dark blue/gray pants.
