Have you ever noticed that a wrestler with white boots never gets over?
I always noticed that jobbers wear white boots, but seeing a vid of Braden Walker once again brought it to my attention.
And it made me think. Which wrestler has ever gotten over wearing white boots? The Rock wore them when he was Rocky Maivia and we all now how well that went. Hardcore Bob used to wear them too, but was only over when he had black boots. Austin wore white boots as the Ringmaster.
I'm certain that Braden Walker would have lasted 2 more weeks if he had black boots.

Yeah, but they'll be over at WrestleCrap Forums for many years. See: Walker, Braden; Ziggler, Dolph
In all honesty, you may be on to something. I can't think of any significant guy that got over that wears white boots.

Bret Hart
Shawn Michaels
I had similar views about long tights. HHH switched from long ones to trunks and boom he's The Game. Jericho goes to trunks and he's a main event player. Edge seems to be the exception to the rule. Everyone that debuts these days all wear trunks. Coincidence? My research shows:

My research shows: Probably If we're couting variations of white, I'm including the Hardys, who have worn those black with white boots for most of their careers. Matt doesn't wear them now, but Jeff still wears them. |

I liked when HHH wore his white boots. And also the different coloured trunks. They were cool.

I'm talking about pure white boots. Not with any symbols on it or variations. So Bret and Shawn don't count, because they never had the pure whites. And even Perfect had a symbol on it. I mean the pure whites, just like the boots Lance Cade is wearing on this pic.  And once again, Lance Cade, often wore white boots, never got over. |

Yes, he is one of the few and probably the only one in the WWE. HOWEVER, his gimmick at the time was that he was dorky. And he also wore different colours, I think he had red boots too. Serious Angle, wore black boots. |
