Where can i find boots?(western riding)?
good proper fitting western boots are hard to find in a hurry.if you want good fitted boots go to %26quot;drewsboots.com%26quot; and look at their selection.they have the fitting guide and toe and heel guides so you know what to ask for when you buy your boots,but for now you need a good pair of sort heel%26#039;d shoes that wont let your foot slip through the sturrup.


edit;western boots have different uses for the heels and toes.starting with heels,roper heels have low heels usually 1 1/4 inch tall and not undercut also known as a wellington heel.roper toes are round and flat also known as a wr toe.western boots are like tack and saddles,each has a use and here in the west you can tell what part of the country a cowboy is from by his boots and hat also if he is a real cowboy or a drugstore cowboy.tall boots for brush riding,shorties for ranch work.ropers for walking(why walk when you can ride)underslung with spur ledges for riding long days.sharp toes for brush,round toes for arena%26#039;s.real cowboys are lost artists and everything they wear has a use.hats for sun and rain(also holds water for horses and putting out fire pits)bandanas for washing up,wiping dirt and sweat off and can be used as a bandage or dust mask.long sleeve button down shirts to cover the arms.vests to hold things(they have pockets)and keep you warm.tight pants keep saddle rashes down.chaps for brush and to keep rope burns off your pants.slickers for rain and keeps your saddle dry.but mostly boots have to be well fitting and keep your feet dry and are also used as brakes(when roping on the ground digging the heels in).doggin heels,roping heels,walking heels,underslungs and box heels all have a purpose and use but you would be better off with roper boots which can be found at western shops or feed stores and they are cheap and used for what you need them for.

Reply:I have had riding emergencys before where i needed boots fast.





Cowboy/cowgirl boots may be the way to go if you cant find them anywhere else. You can try fleet farm or any surrounding tack stores in your area. (Look up on yellowpages)





Also ive bought english boots before with a small heel at famous footwear. They were cheap and then after one use you can buy proper ones.





goodluck





if you need them fast you wont be able to get proper ones unless you go someplace like fleet farm and get girl/boy cow boots.
Reply:Where do you live? Go buy some roper boots at any saddlery store and if you like riding western then buy them on line when you can. If you currently have English/paddock/barn boots, then use them. Do not wear tennis shoes. The saddle and stirrups are completely different. You need a boot with a heel for the western stirrup.





ADDED: If you will look at the first link I gave you, it shows Roper boots. Since you haven%26#039;t said what state/country you live in, we don%26#039;t know where to tell you to buy them.
Reply:Cj, my suggestion is don%26#039;t rush out and spend hard earned money on something that you are not sure you would like or would wear. i am sure that at your 1st lesson you can wear sneakers. If you are wanting some really good quality boots at a great price I suggest Ebay. Some of the better boots that are not extravagant but will hold up are Tony Lama, Justin, Nacona and those are just a few. Don%26#039;t get anything made of exotic skin stick with a cowhide, goat hide ostrich is good to. The exotic are beautiful but you would just ruin them riding. DO NOT GET ANY FAT BABY%26quot;S they are very dangerous to ride in, the boot is bulky and your foot could get hung up in a stirrup. whatever you do decide to buy I hope they make you DANCE. if you need any more questions answered on cowboy boots you can email me





PS Ebay usually will ship the next day
Reply:any place that sells boots. Like, where i live their is a store called %26quot;Boots%26quot; and they have every type of boots known to mad. Just search on the Internet.
Reply:boots for horse riding?? thats crazy.... get some nice flip flops.
Reply:You can look up in your local phone book where tack shops are near you. Most will fit them to you.





You can also look up on the following websites:





http://www.statelinetack.com





http://www.doversaddlery.com





http://www.wildhorsefeathers.com





Most of the time all of these websites have overnight delivery and/or free shipping off of $100 or more.





Good luck!!!
