Cowboy boots - yes or no?!

[cloudberry]

I'm thinking of buying some cowboy boots. My much loved black suede ankle boots ave almost fallen to pieces and I keep thinking cowboy boots would be good but I can't decide on what colour to go for or leather or suede. I have no idea if they're "in" this winter but I think they're fairly timeless and will take a fair old hammering. I'm a short arse 5'3", so flat boots look awful on me, and high heeled boots are impractical with 2 toddlers and a rural life. I think these would be good but am dithering and need some style advice - please!!

Yes Yes Yes! Do buy some! I love cowboy boots, any colour, you'll look fab!

Leati. I've just realised you think I'm a man

I think they're fab too, but probably too high for me. My dcs are 2.5 and 16 mths (and he's not walking yet so I do a lot of carrying) and I really do live in the middle of nowhere, the only bit I was joking about is the chopping of wood - dh's job! I've got the Frye Campus boots which I love. So Leati the same would apply for your suggestions, too high for me for everyday use. That last one is truely foul. Do you see my link for the ones I was asking about? here and here or here. Do people think I lust after these I wonder?!! here or these

welshmum,

I don't think you are a man. What make you think that?

Got the last links wrong. here or here

cloudberry,

I didn't like the snake skin or the pink but I did like the brown suede.

lol. They are very cool though!

you called me welshman
I don't mind, have been called worse

welshmum,

OOOOooooops! Chalk it up to tiredness...
I am sorry.

I was joking
i was once called Brian - that was terrible

It is funny because even after you said that I must think you are a man, I didn't realize what I had wrote.

Bedtime for me!

I don't like the pink or snakeskin ones either, just plain od boring old brown for me.

Go girl! cowboy boots are the best. i've worn mine for the last 10 years (brown and cream lizard-skin style - gorge)... but too pointy to be that comfortable and don't try to remove them in a hurry..............

i've got these and i love them.

so a big yes from me.
