Unpopular opinions

I love the look of lace to toe boots, but they don't suit me 

[Chris]

Though it took some extended research to be sure, I've decided that IPAs suck.

Clearly you've not had Mikkeller/ Brewdog's I Hardcore You before…

New Balance, Converse and the weird tassley thing on Wesco boots suck ass.

[Giles]

If by "weird tassley thing" you mean the kiltie or false tongue, then they come with all proper work boots and not just Wesco…..

[bertoni]

I stand corrected Giles. Why are they there though? Do they serve some function whilst a fella is working?

[Giles]

Laces pick up shit and after time will abrade through the tongue,  the false tongue acts as a protective barrier and when it wears through, it can be replaced.  If you don't like a normal Kiltie, you'll feckin hate a welders false tongue…..

Not sure if this will constitute an unpopular opinion here or not. Hopefully not. Posted this on the WAYWT thread but thought it may be seen and commented on a bit more here.
"Must admit I haven't contributed much to the forum recently. I appreciate, and always will appreciate the respect shown here. But sometimes I think opinions are a little too restrained or non-existant(especially in the WAYWT threads). Bit of respectful honesty makes things a bit more interesting. I don't expect to like everyone's taste and vice-versa…but sometimes others may have a pertinent comment or suggestion to make and should be at liberty to do so without resorting to insults/mockery."

@Giles:

I actually like those more than kilties.

[Giles]

You'll be pleased to know, that for some of the retailer orders I have taken for 2 tone lace-ups the client has  specifically requested kilties in both colours, so both can be worn at once….

Kilties are, in addition to being a tongue protector, allegedly to distribute pressure more evenly from the lacing.

I also dislike them.

[Megatron1505]

In denim and work wear, you generally get what you pay for.

Kilties are hideous and people who wear them are blind

[sabergirl]

Form follows function, imo.  But that's one of the reasons I don't usually wear boots at all.

You mean like one color on the right foot and the other on the left, or both kilties on each foot?  I can't decide which would look more bizarre.

Probably would still look better than a pair of Chuck Taylors…

[Giles]

Both colours on the same foot…

Wait, don't you wear Palladiums?
