Boots that go well with knives?

Another thread about neck-carrying suggested this question: what are the best type and/or brand of boots in which to carry a regular sized boot knife? As a collector, my favorite knives are all boot knives, but I don't own a pair of boots! Anyone out there who is knowledgeable about this?

Tony Llama Rattlesnake seems more appropriate.

Personally, I kind of like the Dan Post Lizard that I'm wearing today.

In days of yore (whenever 'yore' was) men wore high boots with their pants tucked in, and it was handy to stuff various things in there like knives, booze (hence the term 'bootlegger'), guns, etc. Most people don't wear their pants tucked into boots these days which makes carrying stuff in them kind of awkward, not to mention, uncomfortable. Sorels, or similar felt-lned rubber bottom boots with nylon canvas tops in the north country are the only exception I can think of.
 
Justin Ropers is the only way to go, the upper height is perfect for keeping things from riding to far down your leg. Also Levi baggy and loose jeans are awesome for hiding.

Love my Redwings. Eek! Forget to read the body. Didn't know knives were involved

I'm wearing a pair of almost-knee-high, steel toed, UK Underground black leather boots (outside my jeans) that would do the trick.

Sniperboy,
Those boots look way to complicated for me...
Call me old school, but I like to slip 'em on my foot and pull

Many moons ago, back in the days of bellbottoms, I used to carry an AG Russle Sting in my boot. Until it fell out while running down the subway stairs @ rush hour

Boot knives should be thought of as back-up knives/weapons...except if you blouse your pants into them. Trying to draw a boot knife from under a pants leg would take too long, and you'd probably end up getting kicked in the face while you're bent over.
 
Ebbtide.. deveptive aint it.. yes boto knives asre not practical at all unless you got a slit on the side of your pants - and still beding over woudl compromise you.

and to FURTHER promte my point about it's all in the LOOK.. this boot has a zipper on the side that you use to slip the boot on and off you dont have to worry about the laces ofr buckles at all.. I woudl be 50 by the time I did these if I had to do it the old mom and pop way

I wear either my Danner Arcadians or Carolina's engineer boot(steel toe). The only time I boot knifed the Danners was with a strap-on. The engineer boots are perfect for the clip-on-the-inside types of boot knives.
