    Cowboy Boots

    For me, maybe it's the whole cowboy look. Mind you, I don't own a cowboy hat or a huge belt buckle, but I guess it's just that cowboys wear button-down shirts as part of their outfit. Or maybe it's just that none of my boots (the true cowboy ones, mind you, not the pull-on work boots) look TRULY...

    Cowboy Boots

    Something I've never brought up before . . . Of course, the issue of what type of pants to wear with cowboy boots has probably been beaten to death in some circles, but I'm sure we'd all agree that they should only be worn with jeans (regular fit or boot-cut), khakis, perhaps suits (if you're...

    Thanks, Ray! I got the 6 toe and 4 heel.

    Cowboy Boots

    You're so right! I'm normally not a fan of shiny boots, as they always seem to look more appropriate with suits rather than jeans. For me, that was especially true with black boots; most types of black leather always seemed too shiny for my taste. However, I had always noticed that for some...

    Cowboy Boots

    I was doing a search of previous posts of mine and realized that I never posted about this, so here goes . . . In March I bought a pair of black Lucchese Classics full-quill ostrich. Since having to sell my previous black boots (Lucchese Classics in black ranch hand) because I got the wrong...

    I agree with you! Boots made in China are just wrong!

    Cowboy Boots

    I was just thinking . . . is it just me, or does anyone else here feel that once you've owned a pair of higher-end-brand boots (e.g. Lucchese) it just wouldn't be right to go back to more conventional brands like Justin, Tony Lama, etc.?

    Cowboy boots that are too wide

    Aha . . . see, geometry was never my strong point. :p Thanks for the explanation. :cool:

    Cowboy boots that are too wide

    Excuse my ignorance, but I'm afraid I've never used insoles of any kind before (unless perhaps they were already in the shoe/boot). If an insole goes in the bottom of the shoe/boot, but the width has to do with the sides, then I don't understand how that can compensate for the excess width. Does...

    Cowboy boots that are too wide

    I stumbled across a cool pair of cowboy boots on eBay for a GREAT deal -- a pair of Lucchese Classics full quill ostrich ropers. They were my size too . . . well, almost. Whereas I wear regular width shoes/boots (D), these boots were 2E. With boots, is it possible to compensate at all for extra...

    Cowboy Boots

    Update: I ended up selling the tan mad dog Lucchese 1883s whose picture I posted earlier in this thread. Why? Because I discovered something I liked even better, namely, Lucchese 1883 tan ranch hands, so I bought a pair of 'em: Unfortunately, the tan mad dogs never did look as appealing...

    Ishmael, I don't know if you'd have access to Justin boots in Japan, but would this style be along the lines of what you're looking for? Go here for more info.
