#1 Murdock Engineer Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The boot that says cool and stylish as well as functional and practical.
Liam: The noir colour is probably the only colour where this works for this boot.
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The buckles, they look too feminine, also the extra material at the top, a loose fit is difficult to pull off.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: This piece would go well with a straight or tapered pant in gray, black or khaki. A t-shirt in white, black or navy and a jacket in denim. Interestingly a denim pair of overalls would look cool as well. Making it's comeback all the more cooler!
Liam: You would have to wear ripped, black wash jeans with a leather jacket. Go bold or go home.

#2 Enville Leather Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The colour and the finish.
Liam: The colour is perfect for a boot fit. It compliments the gold lace holes and looks great on a leather boot.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: This will go well with a number of different looks all emoting a rustic element.
Liam: Tapered jeans indigo jeans, the colour will compliment the boots and a tapered bottom can be tucked into the boots to show off the shoes.

#3 Karlyle Leather Chukka Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The shape and colour.
Liam: Not a lot
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The contrasting colour of the heel and the leather don't go. You want a Chukka boot to be smart and the different colours don't go together well.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: This can be worn with denim, corduroy, khakis etc. in white, gray or tan to black and olive green.
Liam: Maybe some smart chinos, but the tan leather colour doesn't really suit a chukka boot.

#4 Normanton Leather Chelsea Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The colour and style as well as the dressiness of the boot.
Liam: Like that the heel colour matches the leather. It's a smooth plain design, which is always good with a Chelsea boot. The toe also doesn't look too pointy or too fat, which sometimes happens with a chelsea boot design.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: White t-shirt, khaki chinos and this pair can give you an instant dressed up basic look.
Liam: Tight fitting jeans, maybe a grey wash. Also something smart on top, you're looking for a Ralph Lauren polo shirt, followed by a black overcoat. Gives a great, smart, business look.

#5 Karlyle Suede Chukka Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The colour all the way.
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The colour for a start, navy blue on a smart shoe is not a good look. Leave it for trainers!!! The contrasting colour to the heel again, looks out of place and removes the smart aesthetic that a Chukka boot can bring.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: This can go with a checkered or plaid shirt, khaki and chinos and this cool pair. Throw in a tan belt if you decide on going for a shirt tucked in look.
Liam: A new pair of shoes.

#6 Penfield Leather Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The shape, colourand finish.
Liam: The shine finish looks really clean. Also looks very fitted, no extra bulginess around the side of the shoe. The colour of the heel and the black flexible elastic also compliment each other really well.
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The boot height might be a bit too high. I would've brought it down a bit. Also, I don't like the pointy edging at the top, think they should've rounded that off.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: Anything from a neutral colour palette to a contrast of colour. It's all up to you.
Liam: Definitely some skinny fit, black wash jeans. Up top, the smarter the better, maybe a white Allsaints shirt, followed by a smart jacket over the top.

#7 Calfskin Chelsea Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The element that ties together a dressy element and a sense of ruggedness.
Liam: I think it's a good height for a Chelsea boot, not too big.
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The shape is a bit off, it looks very clunky at the front. Also the dark brown doesn't go well in a shiny finish. Needs to be a faux leather which looks much better in a dark brown colour.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: White t-shirt, gray denim or chinos with an added layer of a cotton sweater or bomber jacket in black or navy.
Liam: Dark wash ripped jeans with a plain tee.

#8 Camo Canvas-Suede Boot
What do you like about this piece?
Gath: The hipster element from a traditional style.
Liam: It will help you stand out. Camo can sometimes go well with a light tan colour
What do you NOT like about this piece?
Liam: The camo look is really out of place. Especially when it's half designed in. I don't know at what occasion you would don these boots. The design of the boot also looks all over the place.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Gath: This boot offers diversity so it's best to take advantage and go for anything from denim jeans to khaki green chinos, gray or chocolate brown. Teamed with a basic t-shirt, or a layered look using a long sleeved shirt over the tee. A denim or suede jacket could be another alternative to help achieve the layered look.
Liam: Light wash jeans, a denim levi's jacket and a whole lot of confidence
