This one's specific one but I've seen guys permantly fuck up their feet by wearing cheap, thin-soled boots everyday or stand in jeans and a hoodie in -20° F for hours because buying good, quality clothes is seen as feminine.
They wear thin-soled boots and improper warm weather gear because they feel they have something to prove.
I wear them because I'm poor.
We are not the same. smug look of superiority
And I underdress (slightly! not that extreme!) for the weather because I've got enough body fat that it's more comfortable that way
...... I'd be lying if I said it wasn't also that.
I can be fine in a t-shirt and shorts while my skinny friends are in sweaters and fuzzy socks.
Wearing boots isn't particularly feminine, is it?
Sounds more like plain old vanity.
Caring about your body apparently is though.
how do thin-soled boots fuck up your feet?
If the ground is freezing cold they have little to no insulation
i do fine in thin-soled boots in -10°C, just use a wool insole and some socks.
