It’s not often that a pair of military boots shows up on the cover of a magazine. Aside from the usual suspects, glossy mags usually prefer Prada or Gucci to Danner or Oakley.

Yet that didn’t stop Scottish actor Gerard Butler (300, P.S. I Love You) from striking a pose on the April issue of W Magazine in a pair. Wearing Bates U.S. Navy DuraShocks Steel-Toe Boots, Butler promote his most recent flick The Bounty Hunter with costar Jennifer Aniston.

Hat tip to @batesfootwear for the picture. Watch The Bounty Hunter trailer below, which will be in theatres this Friday.
