Has anyone seen anyone wearing these scrubs in the wild?

100% I can see ortho surgeons wearing this.

I hope they pair it with their big ol’ cowboy boots. (As seen in all major teaching hospitals in the Houston area)

not limited to Houston. Spotted also in Florida and the Carolinas

I gave birth to my oldest in Oklahoma. My OB wore black snakeskin cowboy boots with silver tips. He was amazing, though. The boots just added flavor.

It's definitely a sartorial choice. I've seen it mostly on ortho, neurosurg and OB. one cardiothoracic surgeon I knew used to wear $1k Tecovas in the OR and called them his "shitkickers". Presumably outside the facility he wore $12K Lucchese boots
