I read about a guy that used to make cowboy boots in jail in Texas.

Evidently his work was so good famous people and politicians came to him. George Bush has him make his boots.

You should get your boots made by him.

Was this guy a member of the Bush "inner circle?" Some of them are in jail -- or may soon be.

OK, tacky, but fun.

Yeah you shouldn't be happy at the misfortune of others.

However, if you don't want to spend $350, these are pretty cool, too and are on sale. I saw them in person and really dig them in a WTF sort of way.

Whoa, I didn't ask for cowgirl boots! Those are cute though, but what I want is something brown, simple and almost tomboyish. ;)

I really like these now. They have a freaking gel insert!

I recomend any boot by Red Wing they will last a life time. I wear a pair of a 2231s daily and they feel great. Here is their search page, just punch in the features that you want and see what comes up.

I have the 11 inch pull on that I wear pretty much daily, except when I am in a suit to meet clients. See The Style Here I have had them 13 years now and they are in great shape. I'm going for 20 years. I wear them about 4 times a week. I actually bought and wore a pair of the brown steve maddens and my friends were freaking out that I wasnt in boots.

I have four other pairs of boots. A pair of lace ups, pair of black justins, pair of brownish justins, and a pair of full quill ostrich that were my dads. I'm wanting to get another dark brown pair and I have a half off coupon from Sheplers that they gave me when I got my carhart duck coat last month.

At any rate, I'd go for the Justins. They look authentic and wont look like you are trying to hard like the other one you linked to did. (No one here would be authentic with that strap over the top).

You'll love them. Unless its a classy or trendy bar/club, I wear the redwings. Guy's pisser's can be pretty nasty by the end of the nite in most bars. I can walk through any muck in the redwings.

Yeah, 50% off any item in the store through Jan. 26. The chick at the checkout asked me if I got the catalog in the mail and I said I did, (I dont, but dont want to be bothered with it all) and she said, "Here's a coupon for next time."

I wasnt too impressed with the boot selection they had in the store when I went in there this weekend. It is after the holidays. I could do with a nice 10X felt hat....

I just don't wear them because I'm neither a cowgirl nor a tomboy! Now, riding boots I'll wear, while I'm riding of course.

you know, i have lived in texas pretty much all my life and i dont own any cowboy boots, cowboy hats, or cowboy jeans.

i was in el paso on a convention and we went to look at boots, they cost more than my rent :eek:

I think I was the only girl at Oklahoma State that didn't own cowboy boots or ropers. They are too claustrophobic feeling for me, and I am not a country girl. I am only 5'2, and I think they look nicer on girls with longer legs than I have. Plus, the pointy-toe ones remind me of Barbie shoes.
