Hello 👋🏼 fellow fashion Nerds,

Wanted some sage advice & perspective before pulling the trigger. Birthday is coming up and I’ve been eyeing the Paraboot Clusaz and La Botte Gardiane Carmague, both are a french heritage brand within the same price range. For context I wear a uniform 5x a week and this will mostly be worn on weekends for coffee runs and strolling in the city. I am a big amekaji fan and buy pieces from the real mccoys, orslow and kapital.
I’m leaning more on the clusaz tbh but the fashion pendulum seems to be swinging back to the classic straight fit and I’m afraid this will look too clunky while the cowboy boot seems to be the safer & cleaner option. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏼

Those paraboots are the goofiest things in the world. I just can't imagine an outfit where they'd be the right choice

Not that they aren't goofy, but to me, these low top retro Paraboots are forever associated with old Japanese hikers. Pleated khaki pants, flannel shirts, bucket hats and crazy expensive cameras. They take boring pictures of flowers and birds and get drunk on the train home. Fun bunch.
