Exclamation Could these pass off as dress shoes?

Provided I always wear pants that cover the elongated neck of the boots?

Go for it. I wear my eight eyes as dress shoes all the time, even with dresses and shit. Depending on the outfit you can make them work.

No offense, but just because you do it doesn't really make it socially acceptable. One might say who the fuck cares what is "socially acceptable", but he wouldn't be asking if he didn't care.

Also, I say no way. Even actual dress shoes that are a bit chunky look shitty, so some Doc Martens are a long stretch, save you aren't attending some type of skinhead ball.

I'm going with these: http://www.softmoc.com/ca/systemshow-item_I146001002

I have a pair of well worn 3 year old Docs at the moment that i've been wearing to formal occasions without any comments.

It's not so much about "socially acceptable" but I'd rather have a single pair of shoes that can be worn anywhere and is comfortable. I hate regular dress shoes. dispizzzzeee!

PS: I tried them on at a store today and they looked fine. just couldn't find the right size.

Never... Don't be so stupid. For a start there BOOTS, skinheads boots used for kicking peoples heads in, and for seconds, there BROWN.

I say no. Dress shoes are meant to be flashy or business-like, not like the Jeep company's spin-off shoe brand. I'd probably stick to wearing them casually (although I wouldn't) or on the job if you work ze construction or sumthing.

Never. They stick out as boots a mile off. You should see what I wear to work, Grey suit, White shirt, Black & White Tie, Black trainers. I'm handsome enough to pull it off.

You shouldn't be wearing trainers with a suit and tie. I vote fail.
