Cowboy Boots Aren't Respected in the UK?

Cowboy Boots aren't Respected in the UK?

[@andrewemslie3901]

I've been wearing cowboy boots in the UK for about 10 years and never had any issues. That said I do feel kind've self-conscious about ones that make a noise when you walk so I tend to go for ones with less of a heel etc.

[@daffydsek2930]

I’m 35 and from the UK, I’m also a massive country music fan and I’m gonna get me some cowboy boots for sure!

[@DanP221]

We need country in uk

[@bobbyhenshall169]

That's BS I'm from England and I just received my second pair of Cowboy boots today. I don't care what anyone says, they're a timeless classic!

[@drbonesshow1]

America went from cowboys wearing boots to politicians licking boots.

[@bccptw]

I’m from the US, and I live in Korea. I wear my boots here. I’ve worn boots to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. I’d wear them in Europe if I go back there. Great comments you have in regards to wearing boots. I’ve been wearing cowboy boots for over thirty years.

[@laz8872]

I live in the UK . I have got 3 pairs of cowboy boots 1 black 1 brown and 1 rough out beige colour. I never ever had a bad comment. I wear them quite often as we know in the uk weather it’s raining almost every day. I ride a Harley as well so it goes good with the tough look 😎🤣 and also perfect for riding.I think the biggest problem if you go with the too flashy jump in the face colours. If you get a plain black or brown nobody would even notice you wear cowboy boots they almost look like a Chelsea boot just a bit higher. End of the day wear whatever makes you happy I wear them because they are very comfy and very versatile. 🤙🏼

[@NickShellVideos]

Great to hear!

[@stevenserna910]

Hey man, I got the same boot colors as well. Tony Llamas, Dan Post, and Nokona's. I ain't into the exotic skin boots, too hard to keep 'em clean. Good boots just feel real comfortarble.

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

From California, but it's exactly the same with me. Have two pairs of cowboy boots. While the weather isn't too extreme out here, I do wear them off and on in the winter and like you, I've got a black pair and I have a brown pair, which I like to spit shine. Like you, I'm not keen on flashy colors or wild designs. Plain, basic and classic is plenty fine for me.

[@TomDingleby]

As a resident of the UK I would say that people would consider them "gay" as weird as that sounds. The whole "cowboy" thing. I wear them here and they are great regardless of whether they are fashionable.

I wear them and I live in the north of England :)

[@shaunrocks7865]

I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 I love my cowboy boots, couldn’t care less if it’s fashion or not, they feel good & look good 👍🏻🤠 plus it’s good not to follow what people think is fashion, couldn’t care less 👍🏻🤠🇬🇧

[@andrewmoss6449]

Nope. You would certainly turn heads if you wore them whilst walking down a street in the UK. However, it would be acceptable to wear them if you were horse riding.

Yet it’s ok for guys to wear skinny jeans that show they’re ankles I’ve never understood the uk I mean Paul weller and the Gallaghers are actually considered stylish here in the uk anywhere else they’d be laughed at with their stupid haircuts and raincoats

[@bijaytamang7669]

Jeans and cowboy boots- it's an oscar winning combination actually. Jack Twist with his blue jeans attire and a pair of cowboy boot leaning against his GMC truck. That's killing, man!

[@linuslam80s]

I recently moved to the UK and I’ve still got my cowboy boots. And sometimes you get some weird looks lol. I’ve had a few ladies come up to me and be like « I like your boots »

[@microcastleVS]

ive been wearing cowboy boots for years and never get any negative comments asside from maybe the odd joke from buddies about me being a wannabe american lol. trends change all the time and i've noticed they are appearing in lots of shop displays recently (perhaps since yellowstone took off)...i also wear a lot of hawaian shirts and my wife used to hate them...few years back they came in trend and all of a sudden she was buying them for me haha. trick is for me to not follow trends which change every 5 minutes and go with what you like.

[@Sean-bz8ri]

I feel like Cowboy boots are mainly fashionable here in the American continent. From Canada all the way down to south American countries like Chile or Brazil.

[@tonynasaofficial]

As an Italian American who traveled to Europe and wore boots no one care as long as you have confidence and trust me I wore way more weird stuff then cowboy boots hahaha

[@WikkeSchrandt]

I live in the Netherlands, and have spent a lot of time in the UK. I've been wearing exclusively cowboy boots for the last ten years or so, and while I do occasionally get comments when people notice, along the lines of "those are so cool", I haven't been laughed at or ridiculed in any way. I did feel incredibly self-conscious when I started wearing them, but that's something which goes away with time. For anyone in the UK (or broader Europe) reading this - just go for it!

[@majestco3664]

If you where your jeans over them I don’t think anyone would really care in the uk tbh depends where u are going

[@baldbookgeek]

I see them a lot where I live in the uk maybe its a country side thing I wear them a lot

[@wilsjane]

That is true. The shortcut to our local shop involves walking along the edge or the fields and no one takes any notice when I wear my leather jeans in the morning to prevent my pants getting soaked in dew. When I wore them on a visit to London, a guy came over and recommended a new gay club. It was so funny at the time. He looked really puzzled when my wife came out of the shop and took the dog. 😃

[@neilizer]

I'm in the UK and looking to buy my first pair of Cowboy boots....preferably Ankel boots so if anyone can educate me on a good brand I'm all ears 👍

[@loganl7605]

Might be a little late to rely but Ariat do some really good short westerns. Basically Chelsea boots but more of a western look, just ordered another pair of lowboys. Have a look at the midtown ramblers, the lowboys, and the bookers

[@rogueblader]

I've been a cowboy since I was a kid cause of my grandad I never had people laugh at me for wearing my boots we even have western events here in the UK

[@harrywinwood6111]

Exactly the same as you I started watching John Wayne with my grandad when I was 3 years old also live in the uk and people have never said anything

[@TwoSugarsandMilk201]

I’m from the UK, and I like cowboy boots myself, but I think it’s seen as a bit of a costume unless it’s a fashion variation of a cowboy boot on a woman (because it’s in right now). It’s tall boots on a man that I think is the issue here. Even a man wearing long English riding boots in his day to day life would be odd unless he was in the country and say lived that lifestyle. Whereas it is fashionable for women to wear any sort of long boots. In fact I see women wearing long wellies if it’s raining but hardly men. Though if men did on a rainy day, no one would laugh at them because they’re serving their practicality. Probably all just a fashion norm thing related to femininity and masculinity. These are observations from London though. Don’t know about the rest of the country too much.

[@johncas1]

I ride a motorcycle and wear long boots there for safety more than fashion I wear a paid of cowboy boots on my cruiser bike with jeans and a leather jacket

[@gobucs3146]

I’m from AZ and visiting the UK (and 3 other countries) right now, and I wear cowboy boots at home. I didn’t bring or wear them to UK for one, alot of walking. Boots are comfy but after so long, your feet do hurt. Second, I have TSA precheck and don’t have to take off my shoes, but boots I have to because of the shank, and most are a PITA without a boot Jack. So won’t wear on a plane, and they’re too bulky to pack.

[@englishcowboy9155]

iv just put up my first vid on youtube ( the english cowboy ) iv 3 pairs of cowboy boots, iv been surprised how many young folks have said to me ? graham i love your boots, i dont recall one bad remark. nice vid Nick.

[@EthanAllsop]

In the uk you can wear lots of types of boots and especially outdoor boots and be respected, cowboy boots however look a little daft on us britts so it is assumed that the guy wearing them is a bit daft. While that's not the case most of the time it's just a stigma that comes with it. If a brit goes to America and wears them out there fine cuz they fit in more but I don't know what do you guys think?

[@bradfordmcglone1984]

Cowboy boots are the best no matter what no one thinks!! 👍

[@TheMattp666]

I live London and have 30 pairs all I get is compliments shake skin especially

[@TheMattp666]

I have 20 pairs of cowboy boots and only get compliments especially my pythons , from London england

[@ferbadcompany1499]

at first people will notice a lot, with time you will be just the "cowboy boot guy" (it is like a cool leather jacket you know?) the thing that really matters is your confidence without them, then is just another thing you put on because clothes just say little things like "i like western movies" or "i appreciate quality".

[@NickShellVideos]

Very well stated.

[@stevenserna910]

Hey, Europe is a whole other place. They got their own stuff. The British and euro-folks I've met here in Dallas dress just as casual as folks here do. And also, not that many have as bad of teeth, like I us'ta think. I don't know or care what they wear over there in euro-land; God bless 'em though, I hear the weather's bad over there, so they probably look like the Gorton's Fisherman logo icon. That's cool too. If they don't like boots, I'll just stay my azz here in Texas and have a cold-beer. They can come here and have a beer with me too and wear what they wan'na. Bring me one of them British bowling hats y'all wear, I think they're very snazzy in Herringbone tweed. Pip-pip cheerio, I do say, and all that matey, righty-o. Spot-o-tea for ya Guv-nah.

[@SchafdoggGTO]

western boots are super comfy if you buy the right ones. and they slip on, and off, super easy. i wear ankle socks with mine, and wear them for casual, work, and dress. and they last YEARS

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

¿ Ankle socks with cowboy boots, and you think they're comfy that way ? Well, to each their own.

[@1I3b]

I have started wearing cowboy boots back on 80's in Poland and still doing this here in UK, yeah - sometimes folks notice it and say something, thats it. Regards

[@melodymaker396]

You know, come to think of it, the Beatles wore a shortened ankle boot that was pretty cool in the 60s. With a little added stitching design in the boot, they could have passed as ankle high cowboy boots. Then in the 70s, in the UK, a zippered taller boot was worn as fashion changed things over to the colorful leather platform boots/shoes into the 80s. I wasn't into the platform shoes/boots but I sure miss my suede and patten leather boots I wore over there in the 70s. Not sure why this obviously younger person would make such a comment like that. Cowboy boots are still popular in Spain and Portugal in Europe. Some of the best boots are handmade by Mayura in Spain and will rival some of the Tony Lama boots in the US.

Lol... cowboy boots worn in TX is quite a normal thing. It's worn for work, for going out, for special occasions. It has nothing to do with looking attractive because you see work men wear them for work outside hot Texas summer.

There was an old man on the council estate were I grew up wearing cowboy boots and a fake leather jacket and bleaching his gray hair jet black to match his black teeth, and he looked the fucking business 😆

[@juancana457]

A handful of, respected, ladies have opined that a well kept, mildly ornate pair of cowboy boots, on a man whose tall and fit, is flattering, assuming that's the only cowboyesque statement of your look 😉.

[@Admodeus]

You can have your trousers over the boots though, can't you? I think it would barely be noticeable. I had this same kind of anxiety about buying military jack boots, thinking I would get lynched by the locals, but if they are under your trousers, they are pretty much the same size as a shoe, and who really pays attention to what shoes a stranger is wearing?

I remember when I brought my first pair of black Laredo boots back in 1972. I remember how people ask me where I got my westerns from and how cool they looked. None of them laughed or had nothing bad to say about them, apart from saying are they comfortable. They were never negative. Maybe it because we come from a littile rural town in NZL. I don't know.

I would say more of a rural American thing. I think pretty much the only time you would see them in a suburb where I live, would be if someone was visiting from a rural area maybe. I grew up in the suburbs but live in a rural area now, and while I would still say they’re pretty uncommon overall, there are definitely people in rural areas that really want to go for that look.

They won’t be respected here in the U.K. because most guys wear the girly long T-shirts & uggs nowadays, most guys are very feminine here.😂 I don’t wear cowboy boots but I wear biker boots which reach above my ankles and get odd looks for that.

5'9 IS average height...I once wore a pair of fake snakeskin cowboys while strolling through a strip mall and some woman/girl actually wolf whistled at me and shouted "Looking Good Cowboy"! as she drove past. The boots were the only thing remotely "western wear" had on but it made an impression!

You just made me laugh, remembering the day when the dry grass around a barbecue caught alight and a guy wearing cowboy boots and Wranglers just stood and watched his girlfriend stomping it out, rather than get ash on his boots or embers on his jeans. He did not seem in the least bothered that the girl was wearing sandals and shorts. Perhaps the funniest moment was then he shouted to her, telling her to be careful and roll her shorts up to prevent the embers getting inside them or catching the frayed denim alight. My biggest surprise was that when I saw him a few months later, he was still with the same literally hot girl.😃😃

Dress like the locals or you will get looks. Most won't say anything, but people think. If you look odd or dress odd, people will just avoid you. It's easy to say "I don't care what people think", but most do anyway, it's stupid not blend in just a little bit because without it you won't make friends and miss out on opportunities.
