Thoughts on cowboy boots?

Does anyone have any?

I've on a whim ordered a pair from ASOS that were reduced from silly money just to see if I actually like them in real life, as I have seen ladies rocking the CB look with skirts/skinnies etc, however they may well just look twerpy on me.

God yes, I live in them - they are my go to ankle boot. Currently wearing gorgeous grey suede Office ones - think they're called Alfresco.
Which Asos ones have you gone for? Always on look out for more!

I have a pair of Ariat which are actual proper cowboy boots I bought when I lived in the US. They are utterly fabulous, total all day comfort and you will prise them from my cold dead toesGrin. I wear them loads with skinnies and some dresses/skirts but you've got to be a bit careful to make sure you're not on your way to a line dance....

I bought a really good pair in 2003 at uni and they are still going strong. I wear them with black skinny jeans, cord A line skirts, denim pinafore and with a denim mini skirt and black tights usually with one of my original britpop band tshirts.

I've ordered these:

www.asos.com/frye/frye-billy-pull-on-western-leather-knee-boots/prd/6803602?iid=6803602

Which I think I like, although on the model they look like she is struggling to keep them on when walking and looks a bit silly IMHO.

I wouldn't be wearing them with bare legs though, so thinking over tights/leggings/skinnies etc they may be ok.

Good discount though and got another 10% off with a voucher code so nothing ventured etc..

I've got a proper pair of Mexican cowboy boots, £45 from Camden Market. Nicely battered and worn in. My absolute fave footwear, I love them!

Sorry but laughing at the video - she looks like a toddler walking around in Daddy's wellies Grin

Lovely boots but they look bloody awful in the video (mainly because it looks like they got a very skinny child to wear them a few sizes too big for her, which is an odd choice - might be why they haven't sold though, so bonus for you!). I love boots but am on a spending ban - I would if I could though!

LoupGarou · 10/02/2017 12:25

I have some ankle boot ones and I l love them, I also have some Manitobah Mukluks (hands down the comfiest shoes in the world ever). I do live in the US though Smile

DavetheCat2001 · 10/02/2017 12:25

My calfs are slimmish so hoping they won't look like wellies, but they can always go back.

I've Googled and seen other pics of them being worn and they look better.

I agree that video is ridiculous!

Oh yes they are a TRIUMPH!

DavetheCat2001 · 14/02/2017 21:05

Thank you coffee

I think they need a bit if a wear in, but have potential!

I have so many boots now, it's getting a bit silly. Must..stop..buying..boots!

They look so good on you I'm seriously thinking of some for myself now!

DavetheCat2001 · 14/02/2017 21:21

oh thank you Twinmummy Smile

I really wasn't sure. I wore them round to a friends house today just to wear them in a bit, and I'm not sure she really liked them, but I think cowboy boots are a bit marmite. They are actually really well made and I reckon they'll last a good few years.
