That's a very interesting point. I wonder why that is.

I have a pair of J&M brogue boots, like the ones pictured here, that I would consider casual (matte leather, brown, open lacing, lace hooks), but that I'm comfortable wearing to the office with a pair of khakis or jeans on a Friday or when the weather is rough, and I need some extra grip. I believe in other parts of the world, these would be called country boots.
