•  Info Ever since I shot this photo, it has grown on me. The planking provides a very good, neutral but interesting background for the shoes. For me it is sort of a relaxed, scruffy-looking, 'yin-yang' complement to this FP. The photo is not staged, the man was quite surprised and amused when he saw that I was taking a photo of his shoes.

•  Support very outdoory - but he should've tied his laces...! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:51, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Casual shot. I fail to see it fitting among other pictures of this category. They look much more extraordinary. -- Pofka (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose I quite like having such generic and useful images on Commons, but as for FP I'm not really seeing any particular wow factor.--Peulle (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Peulle. Very well stated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Support First, although those are Timberlands, they look similar enough to my own black Eccos that this could well be my feet in the wintertime (at this time of the year they are often likely to be bare, in contrast). Second, I like the internal yin-yang of this picture: the black boots, a little sandy, against the clean-looking planking. Third, we don't have a lot of FPs of clothing or footwear to begin with. Fourth and last, I like the idea of a picture of black boots that doesn't evoke fascism. Daniel Case (talk) 23:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Support per yin-yang of Daniel. PumpkinSky talk 02:04, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Support seb26 (talk) 02:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per Peulle. I also don't like the untied boot, as it looks a bit sloppy. If this were going to be used as a stock photo, the untied boot isn't a plus and really limits the image's potential for use. Daphne Lantier 06:18, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Neither the subject or the composition is exceptional. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Thanks all for a very interesting discussion. :-) --cart-Talk 07:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
