To be fair, these boots are from the DM range so they're fairly timeless in any case.
But fashion wasn't my real consideration. I wanted boots (not shoes, because I like ankle support), with Chelsea-style elasticated sides (because I find lace-up boots to be an immense hassle, far more so than shoes), which fitted my feet. I found exactly one make of boot which fitted those three practical criteria, so I bought two pairs.
If anyone with fashion sense looks at my footwear and attempts to infer anything more interesting than "this chap likes ankle support and dislikes laces", my general view is that that's their own lookout and I can't be held responsible for any misunderstandings they thereby acquire :-)
