Get thee to a boot store and try on different brands and styles - then you'll at least know which lines have a last (boot form) that matches your foot, and you'll know which lines and models have a shaft that works with your leg. Point is, you won't learn much of use by polling a bunch of people on their favorite boot, because if it's cut in such a way it doesn't work with your body, you won't be able to wear it no matter how much you like it. I'd just about give an eyetooth to be able to wear some of the exotics from Justin, but the shafts are just too narrow for my leg. All of the above are wearing like iron, and super comfortable. My work-boots - I don't ride in them, because I've got dressage tack, and the leathers don't work well with cowboy boots - are a pair of Double H buckaroo boots. I wear Ariat paddock boots to ride in, and I have a pair of nice flashy Ariats for dress-up. I have wide feet, narrow heels, and huge muscled calves - this all makes it kind of a challenge to find good boots, and when I find them, I keep them.

I'm picky about my boots - I want them to look good, be comfortable, and wear well. I'm from Texas, where cowboy boots are things you wear at the barn, at the ranch, at work, out to eat, down to the pub, and any place it might not be a good idea to have bare toes. IMO, there's no substitute for going down to the boot store and trying a bunch of different pairs on. :rofl: I have a pair, and I love them! handmade cowboy boots, exotic cowboy boots, custom cowboy boots, custom made cowboy boots, mens leather cowboy boots, womens cowboy boots, mens cowboy boots, ladies cowboy boots, womens western boots Not a riding boot, but strictly fashion/dancing/clubbing boot. My other two picks would be Nacona or Justins.Īs far as fashion boots go, you can NEVER go wrong with a pair of Corrals. I personally had a pair when I was younger, and they were pretty comfy! Justins are pretty nice boots, my boyfriend loves his pair, a lot of people in the store SWEAR buy them. I'd personally not waste the money on how insanely expensive Beans are. Just so bland, you can tell a good boot based on the stitching, normally.

Go with the Horse Powers over the regular Beans, they are better. Some of their boots are nice, but they are a mediocre boot.Īnderson Beans are nice, not the most comfortable boot in my opinion. Stay away from Ariats, coming from somebody who works in a boot store, they are cheap and don't hold up well. Plus, they come in varieties of colors/styles. They wear great, hold up great, look great, and are the most confortable boot ever. I would suggest the Tony Lama 3R's.I have three pair, best boots I have ever owned. I like tall boots because they are hella comfy. Tall boots, like 15-18' tops (stove pipe boots, buckaroos), are more of the cow class riders, and lots of ranchers. Mainly fashionable, not functional at all. Click to expand.Short boots, like FatBabys, are nothing more than a poser boot to me.
