YOUR BOOTS ARE AMAZING, DARLING.

Heard of the song/play/ film, ‘Kinky Boots? Also, those boots that were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do? Well nowadays the boots that are gonna walk all over you are not just for the ladies to wear. Move over Nancy Sinatra, the boys are back in town with their own version. Very rock ‘n’ roll and well, sexy and bohemian and not for the faint-hearted. They are manufactured by JEFFERY WEST and they are the bomb. Carlito wild-side skull charm harness boot They have been around for decades, but the style is very niche, so most people haven’t heard of them. This is not High Street footwear, but neither is it posh and snooty. On the contrary JW boots are great fun and have an authentic wow factor. Many of their designs are flamboyant, but they also cater for more low-key tastes. However, they are all original and unmistakable. You’ll feel like a real hip, cool bro wearing a pair of these. 

They pay homage to all things dark and gothic and poisonous. To rock stars, writers, artist misfits’, gangsters and serial killers that have upset all the right people over the years and inspired the rest of us. They give their boots names like LUGOSI, RENFIELD, DEXTER, SYLVIAN, SCARFACE, HANNIBAL, SOPRANO, ZIGGY, MOON… you get the picture. The dark Lords are also revered, like occultist Alastair Crowley and aristo rogue Frances Dashwood. It would also be cool if they made a boot dedicated to Sven Marquardt, the darkest Lord of them all, head of security at the brilliant BERGHAIN nightclub in Berlin, who oversees entry with a brutal door policy. Don’t go there if you don’t, ahem, look the part…sporting a pair of JW’s might do the trick - word has it that the richest man in the world was turned away. Being very well made they’re not cheap but then what self-respecting dude who is out to impress and add an edge and an air of danger to his persona wants that? They have regular sales, so if you gulp at the prices, you just must be patient, not too picky and hold your nerve. It takes some nerve to wear them in the first place. But the Devil may and will care if you do.

Just when you thought they couldn’t get any more intriguing they also offer a range of irresistible accessories that include spanking paddles. That’s right. The sound of leather on cheek. Designed to hang off your horror-inspired belt they are fashioned from a choice of snake and crocodile-effect skin. Decisions, decisions. Either way guaranteed to produce a warm, red glow. Maybe that’s why they make the soles of their boots red?

 Here’s my advice to you straight guys intent on upping your game in the boudoir. Wear nothing but a pair of Jeffrey West boots.
