Re: pull on or put on
Hi JakeD,
I haven't seen you in a while, welcome back
You'd say: to put on your boots/shoes.

Re: pull on or put on
I was a little bit uncertain, because I found a headline in the "Berlin Where" tourist guide that
reads as follows: "Caroline E. pulled on her boots for a walk through the forests."

Re: pull on or put on
Maybe it's a common thing to say in the US?

Re: pull on or put on
I've heard and read pull on being used on several occasions, but I'm not sure if the usage differs by region. It may be American. The image I have for pull on boots is an American Western style work boot.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.

Re: pull on or put on
I would say it's just a matter of choice which one you use. Both are common to hear.

Re: pull on or put on
I'd say it depends on the type of boot. If they're tall ones, you could certainly "pull" them on.

Re: pull on or put on
If you refer to the actual action of pulling of the boot leg, then yes, you'd also use "to pull" in the UK. But simply slipping into the boot/shoe would be "to put on", e.g. shouting at the children "Come on you lot, put your shoes on, we're late".

Re: pull on or put on
No, you put on your boots and pull them up.
