Jeans tucked in boots - Good Look? Bad Look?

I've been seeing a lot of tucked-in-boots jean styles around London recently and was wandering what you guys/gals thought of it on both men and women. The reason is i've seen a great pair of Paul Smith Thunder Boots (Triumph) that I really like but at £245, I don't to then shelve them and never wear them as intended in public.

So tucking in jeans - good look or bad look?

I think it looks great on a nice girl in tight jeans with good legs.
Might take a bit of getting used to on a bloke TBH, can't really see it working.

some girls look wicked with this look, gotta be slim though, size 2 or 4 I think.

Size 6 I have been told is average for a girl, anything over this, they class as obese! Laughing out loud

I'm borderline on this one.

Its a bit of a rinsed look but I still do it occassionally, the jeans have got to be tight though.

On blokes though, no fucking way. Prize for the first bloke to post a pic of themselves trying out the look in 'what are you wearing' thread, go on...it'll be funny Laughing out loud

Referring to boots that are less "cowboy" more "greasemonkey-biker"
