OBJECT OF DESIRE
Stacey Adams Collection madison boot, $125, at staceyadams.com
REASONS FOR MUST
Reason #1
Every man needs a good pair of black lace-up boots. It’s the flexible, all-weather shoe for the on-the-go guy in you.
Reason #2
Paired with jeans, trousers, or shorts, you can never go wrong with complementing your wardrobe. Not to mention, the perfect aging quality of the leather that gives the boots an extra vintage, pseudo worn-out look over time.
Reason #3
That price! Times are hard and pockets are tight, but for $125? You can’t go wrong with these boots.


Wow, price is right
These are amazing. I really wanted the Rag and Bone Dodger boots in black, but they are like $700. These are almost identical, super high-quality for less than a fifth of the price. Great article, I am glad to see at least one reasonably-priced item among the must-haves.
