There just is nothing more to say.
Who knew boots were 'racist'?

Portland should go up against Minneapolis. It would be Skinhead City versus Skinny City.
To: Altura Ct.
It sounds like it is the laces, moreso than the boots.

On Twitter, anti-hate group activist Sam Sachs pointed out that black Dr. Martens -- colloquially called "Doc Martens" -- with red laces are a white supremacist symbol that implies the wearer has committed an act of violence. So work boots are "racist" too? Hey, that must be why the looters never touch them on the shelves.

Of for goodness sake, they are advertising a pair of boots that are used for rock climbing.

Red and white laced Doc are a real thing, meaning “skinhead”. FYI (at least they were in the 80/90s)

Activists are asking why ...Maybe because nobody in their marketing department keeps up with "white supremacist" symbols?

Of for goodness sake, they are advertising a pair of boots that are used for rock climbing. Rock climbing in Doc Martens? don't think so. maybe Rock The Holidays as in have a good time, party hardy.
Or just maybe it's a reference to Rock The Casbah?
The song gives a fabulist account of a ban on Western rock music by an Arab king. ... The pilots ignore the orders, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. The population then proceed to "rock the casbah" by dancing to the music.

You have superlative skills to quality you for infiltrating the SJW crowds to egg them on to loftier claims that they probably missed completely. 8>)
I applaud you.
To: Mastador1
Either way, stupid claims by stupid people, and yes I am stupid when it comes to rock climbing. 8>) Not something I ever desired to engage it, Unless it was rock climbing in a 4x4. 8>)
To: Altura Ct.
Maybe pink shoelaces are the order of the day.
