Cowboy/Riding Boots

[echo3oscar1833]

This is for all of us country boys out there. What brand of cowboy/riding boots do you own. Myself I own a pair of red wing riding boots, a little over two years old now. Love em paid a good penny for them

[kman311]

Well, maybe this isn't fair because my family owned a western store for years but my collection includes
Justin, Tony Lama, Lucchese, Ariat, Nocona and Dan Post. The leathers include full quill ostrich, elkskin, lizard, stingray, cape buffalo, shark, alligator, and various calfskins and bullhides.

[RLE0352]

Nothing but Justin Ropers for over 25 years.

[slug]

I like my Tony Lamas, but they have reached their last miles. My Ariats are doing well as a replacement though.

[FistFu68]

:evilgrin: My Western DiamondBack Rattlesnake Toni Lama X-Toe,bought them in Texas in 85 while hunting on my Uncles Ranch on Horseback for Wild Boar...Sweetwater Tx...But for just farting around I have some Justins made outta Buckskin..."Whitetail Deer" J-Toe...:beer: :iwo:

Those have to be the gayest squared off toed mexican riding boots I've ever seen. Do they come with assless chaps? You need some conchos and a shirt with a big collar and a hat with enbroidered brim and half a chicken wing under the band to go with em.

I'm a justin boot fan myself. I prefer ropers.

[redman1]

A few years ago I cut the toe out of these boots for some tree hugger friends of mine and called them Cowboy Sandales and got lots ofhttp://www.leatherneck.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2370&pictureid=10451 laughs

Tony Lama boots have 8 pr love them , had water buffalo boots for uniform with a Stetson XXX while working for the Sheriff office.

Semper Fi Redman

The mexican cockroach killers with the heal that is underslung. Slants from your heel towards your toe. I guess at some point they served a purpose. I prefer the straight down heels. I'm no prima dona but sure makes walking easier than them high heeled boots.

[redman1]

Bulky thanks I understand
My favorite boots are bull hide there the tall one's with the pull holes at top and the heel is straight and is built out for spurs. Those where I cut the toe out were my first pair and then I bought another pair I still use. Semper Fi Redman

[Rocky C]

I Like My Harley Davidson Diversion 8" Riding Boots

[SlingerDun]

Undershot heels are designed for leaning back and ploughing through the horse corral or branding trap. You've got one end of the line anchored at your hip and the other holds a snared animal that doesn't savvy "whoa" and never in the wrong place.:marine:

[echo3oscar1833]

[SlingerDun]

Tapered toe and leather soles for easy in and out (of the stirrup) sod cutter heel with spur bench and high arch that will "lock" into anything less that a 2 inch oxbow. I've seen high trottin working buckaroo's wearing very custom footwear but never with such slender, sharp, elongated geometry


Marketed as "work boots" from Frommer in Central Oregon.

[Quinbo]

You all got me thinking and digging through the closet. I currently don't have a single pair of cowboy boots. Current daily wear is navy issue low quarter, steel toed boon dockers. My kid has reached that age where he and I wear the same size foot wear so what is mine is his.

I think the boots ben is looking at used to be called harness boots. I just can't picture myself two stepping in a pair. I'm better off wearing clod hoppers.

I might have to get me a pair of them gene simmons boots Bill. Those look cool.

the riding heel is for cowboys that dont intend on spending much time on the ground...if you cant do it a horseback it dont need don......as the slinger said....if you have an anker hold on a criter thats intent on not stoping its a lot easyer on the knees with the under slung heel...but its each to his own....i wont call you a flatlander if you dont wear a riding heel....ill just think it
be safe good people

[echo3oscar1833]

Moving on, I've never been one to partial on Cowboy hats to say. Maybe its the up north country thing. I dunno, I have considered getting a straw one though. Other than that its just my Marine Corps Ball Caps :marine:

[8th&I Marine]

Hey Echo if you are going to get a straw hat get you a palm leaf. Those are the best damn hats. They are rugged and there is no problem when the get wet. As for boots its Justin or Ariat.

[redman1]

Theres only one straw hat I love and that's the Shady Brady Straw Cowboy Hat

:evilgrin: redman 1 since I saw your super sandals,I went and cut my Danner Desert Combat boots toes off too the sole cut them back too the shank of the laceup,cause I spear fish alot I can slide on my swim Fins easier,and not ever worry about stepping on a big treble hook again...and when I'm out in Public I will use on 2" inch strip of Green duct tape wrapped around the whole sole and top of my foot...too keep from flopping around.Thanks for the Idea S/F :idea: :beer:

[redman1]

Fist that's so funny but I would like to see a picture. Back when I was turning 50 a friend of mine was a tree hugger and laughed at me because I didn't own a pair of sandals. I bought my first pair of sandals which I don't wear very much but one night when they came over to cook out I did the Cowboy boot cut off and got lots of laughs. Only thing was once they were on I had trouble getting them off.

[montana]

lol...Fits. bet that will turn some heads
i wear felt hats summer /winter....like the brim all the way around....keeps the sun out of my eyes and it from burning my neck....also makes the water run well away from me and on the outside of my raingear during rain storms....rather then down inside it.....youngest son liked caps.....we were ridding up in the mountains way back in....hard rain started up...we put on our slickers....when the rain stoped i was dry....he was soked from the rain running down off his head down his neck and on the inside of his raingear.....he still wears a cap...but when we ride these days he wears a hat....ol dad aint as dumb as he looks.........?? sometimes

[redman1]

Montana I heard that. I wear caps all the time but Cowboy hats when riding. My black felt hat that my wife made the band for is a crushable hat which I love but my brown one the rain runs off very well. That straw Shady Brady hat is pretty good also. I don't get in the elements like you do and would love to have your life. Your life sounds like its where my heart is all the time. Now I so stove up from all my operations I can hardly pull myself up in the saddle. Stretch the big black walker was so damn tall I had to get on a fence to get on and it made me feel very old and cripple. I want to get a horse about 15 or max 15.2 hands next.

lol Redman....i most often look for a low spot to stand the horse or a rock to stand my horse by...to mount...

[redman1]

Montana that makes me feel better. But things changed for me in the last two years. Hell two years ago I was still riding bucking horses and mounted just as they started to buck and loved it.
Semper Fi Redman

[ggyoung]

Redman1 and Montana what is your favorite horse? Mine is the Morgan.

[redman1]

First of all Guy welcome to Cowboy Up
My favorite horse is the Quarter Horse and that's what Cody is but Redman my favorite horse and best friend was a Saddle-bred. I have had all kinds and like them all but to me the Quarter Horse is the best all round horse. Cody was a barrel racer horse before we got him and was fun to ride and could cut on a dime. I could cut with him and rope but now he can't be rode because of back and hock problems and he is 26 years old I think and we got him when he was 12 and got Redman when he was 8 and put him down at the age of 20.
Semper Fi Redman

[fmoyer]

Hard to beat an Appy, good all around for hunting and just pleasure riding can work cattle also.

[tdrt]

For trail rides, general pleasure riding, I use Quarter Horses. They're roping horses, but I'm not coordinated enough to even try and rope on them.

But I show Saddlebreds -- nothing beats that huge animated trot.

[redman1]

Troy good to see you post on here.
Quarter Horses are not just roping horses
Redman was a Saddle-bred but such a rough ride, Karen rode him sometimes and always posted on him but I don't post I just ride with the horse.
Cody has always been a good horse and would do anything, both him and Redman would do anything we wanted them to do.
I open gates and so on while riding them
Sure do miss Redman
Semper Fi Redman

[tdrt]

Ya, but that's all we use them for. Dean's daughter barrel races with one too -- something I've never tried yet. But my friend Heidi is going to teach me to barrel race this summer -- should be very interesting! I'm not the most graceful person - LOL

We also have a herd of about 20+ trail horses of different breeds that we send up to the Boy Scout camp every year but they get so damn herdbound, can't just grab one and ride.

[redman1]

I hear people talking about heard bound horse all the time but I don't believe in that.
I believe when your on a horse your the boss and if he knows that he shows it.
That's one thing I used to help people with there horses teaching them how to control them.
Its pretty funny how different people ride. My sister in law lets the horse do what ever they want because she said one time its rude to tell them what to do.
I quit teaching or riding with her because she drive me crazy
I've taught peoples horses to respond to anything and once they got back home the horse did the same stuff.

The reason the plains indians rode appaloosas is because it was the only type of horse slow enough to catch on foot. J/K

Good one Bulkyker, might well be true, could be the reason I liked them because they were slow and sure footed. Being slow myself I like slow. The Nez Pierce Indians raised them and didn"t fair to well fighting the white man.

I personally prefer either my Justin Boots or Old West Boots. Being from Billings, I generally buy them and other Western clothing when i go back home. Since I'm out here at Pendleton, it's kind of hard to find good boots out here. Sheplers.com or Cavenders. have really good deals on boots too.

[AdirondackDog]

With me in Oki, I have a cheap pair of Del Re's. Back home I have a pair of Stetsons my old man bought me for my 17th birthday. And a pair of Carhartts used for kicking liberals in the ass and other outdoor activities. All in which are generously size 11.5

Pardon my ignorance because I honostly don't know. Does Stetson and Carhart now make boots? That came as a suprise.

Its funny you ask because I thought the same thing about Stetson. I thought they were only about the hats. As for the Carhartts, I picked those up on a whim while at a field and stream store.

....I'm out here at Pendleton, it's kind of hard to find good boots out here....Norco, Ca.

Townies keep horses in their yards and ride to the cantina and 7/11 on trails designated for horse and foot traffic that would normally be called sidewalks. If pedestrians don't like sharing the path with horses, tough.

There's more than a few "Farm n Ranch" and western boot/apparel stores around there. Libbo towards the east side of Camp Pendleton and work your way up the Inland Empire, cowgirls might even talk to you if you're not overly geared up.

Tour west and wide of Riverside's east barrios.

Hey Cowboys or Buckaroos and Buckarretts
I see you all have to wait to go back home to get your boots.
Well here where I live we have a western Store that boost of having the Largest supply of boots In Kansas even larger than Sheppler's, They even have there own web site and they will ship to you. F.Y.I. The web address is ( www dot crazyhouse dot com ) I go there cause it's only 7 miles from my house.

[SlingerDun]

"The Biggest Western Store between Wichita and Denver" hhmm i'm on google maps right now and not seeing much competition inbetween:nerd:

I personally like Cavender's in all honesty. I've never had a problem with the boots I get from them, especially my Lucchese's.

[JD0261]

Tony Lama's or Justin's for me

[kenrobg30]

I had a paor of Cowboy boots once. Had a hell-of-time, pullong them on the first time. Then, I stood up, and got a nose bleed. Been scared of heights ever since. I don't really care how high up I get, as long as one foot's touching the ground. ;) S/F!! KEN

[SlingerDun]

Discontinued style made for Filson and advertised as "Upland Field Boots"
Two layers of leather except where the Tin Cloth canvas twill replaces the outer layer for weight reduction.
Filson won't reveal anything about the maker except that it's a domestic outfit.
Because of the semi-pointed toe box and wide heel, they are curiously similar to packers and i've a hunch they may be White's - Hathorn. No synthetics or Gore-Tex, simply leather and canvas. They came with a Gumlite bob sole that wore slick and thin after about 3 months of hard use.
