What's up with people hating on if guy wears round toe, square toe, snip, or wide? A guy who worries about another guys footwear is weird anyway in my opinion.

[@abelardopascual6564]

Because they think its for fashion instead of work, but some of us have wide feet so sometimes we have to go with certain types of toe styles

[@Jwe12]

Exactly my feet are very wide making wearing sniptoe very uncomfortable especially while working

[@carl-ok9gn]

@@abelardopascual6564 it's because cowboys are gay.

[@hankamerm.d.6865]

If a guy looks at others guys, comments on what they have on or how they dress, might need to get off the fence about their sexual preference. That’s just gay. That’s the type of stuff women do.

Shoutout to Curtis, I needed to do some research to gift our son a new pair of boots as he is entering the Army “Adulting”. We are a classic round toe leather sole family. And after watching his straight forward presentation, my son says he will be staying with the round toe leather sole classic boot. Send Curtis & his family down to Texas & open a store here in Cedar ParkKeep up the good work.🤠

I didn't know Pete Wentz went to RCC for his boot fitting haha. Very informative. I've got a lot of "traditional" but thinking of grabbing a pair of snip toes too. Not a big fan of square toes and ropers but I know those work great for riders. But I'll stick to my bikes haha.

David Eden's buddy David Eden's are for me but Cowboy boots have been around for decades and still going strong so that is a testament to that style of foot wear , I'm just a quality shoe guy and have never worn or own that type of footwear. Quality does cost a bit and that I do know.

Very helpful introductory video. "heel slip" is not self-explanatory to a layperson. I noticed most youtube videos saying it without explanation. At first I thought it meant sliding toward the front of the boot.

[@gilwhitley6810]

True story, to all the dudes on here: I work in a profession that's mostly women, and when the topic of boots came up at lunch one day, not a single one thought wide square toe was cool. One honestly said she thought they were for "special needs" guys with foot deformities! There seems to be a push by some corporate entity to push these "wide square toes" onto the market. More comfortable? Well heck, just wear Uggs around, or even those rubber Crocs, if you really couldn't care less what you look like. Anyway, free will and all, just tryna help a brother out, as they say.

[@mrsweedwalker]

I’m surprised to hear this. Square toe is my favorite for men or women.

[@alanparks7919]

I own pointed Luccheses, snip toe, ropers, round toe Ariats, etc. My wife only likes wide square toed boots. The most compliments I’ve gotten on them has been from ladies, so your hypothesis is wrong.

[@Murtagh653]

i'd rather be comfortable in my square toes than develop bunions, foot issues and hip issues trying to look "fashionable" to other people, i also prefer the look of square toe boots. i'd wager that most of those women wear high heels, which are terrible for your feet and hips and one of the main reasons that bunions are so much more common on women than men, good luck trying to get comfortable in narrow boots once you get bunions.

[@ghayath2011]

I love boots

[@globe1987]

I like a snip toe so far, but I have narrow feet and don't wear mine in a work environment where I'm on my feet all day. If I wanted a pair to wear at my second job, I'd for sure get a pair with a more rounded toe.

[@thinking6307]

Yeah globe...it doesn't have to be a snip toe exactly..but a more traditional round toe. If you go just a size wider..say "E" instead of "D" width and/or maybe 1/2 longer size, say 10 1/2 over your normal size !0.. you can accomodate a comfortable traditional more pointed style cowboy boot. With the right sole inserts, thick over the calf socks and the right heel heighth (not riding heels)...you can live in good cowboy boots.

[@AerowsX]

Oh, God. I didn't mean it to sound like that. Shaft of the boot, tall to protect against rubbing, and narrow because my feet are. Good Lord. NOT WHAT I MEANT.

[@NarugaWesker]

For anybody that might still be reading comments on this video, can anybody possibly tell me what to look out for when buying boots online? These will be my first purchase of boots and it looks like there isn't any convenient place in my city to buy boots and find my size locally

[@matthewallen9343]

MightyKingMonstar don't buy online, there are far too many variables between boot manufacturers and styles. Whatever your shoe size is will not be your boot size, trust me. Go into a proper boot shop and try on several pairs till you find 'your' boots

[@matthewallen9343]

Even if a shop doesn't have your size they can help you determine what you really need. For example, I wear a size 10.5 regular shoe but a 9.5 wide boot and it changes again if trying on a square toe boot. Boots are simply too expensive to not do the proper research and physically try out before buying

[@romulusremus7537]

I agree with the other post. Try on in person first. Just Google for western wear stores, make your way to one, try on various sizes and styles and see what brand and size is best for you, and then buy. Or if you want to buy online you'll have better results. And lastly, don't listen to narrow minded people's opinions of which style they do or don't like. Square toe, round toe, wide square, snip... And since when do guys care so damn much about another man's footwear??

[@1533ramsay]

Ok, I ordered a pair of boots online (cause I had a coupon that was about to expire) and got a size 6 regular. I thought it was a bit snug on the arch so I returned them for a 6 wide. but the Wide is very loose on the ankle. After watching a few videos I'm thinking the 6 regular was actually the right fit all along. how do I know if I'm right? how should the ankle look?

I have a pair of boots that I purchased over 20 years ago. I had them re-soled 4 times now. Guess what? They have outlasted all of the modern made in China boots these stores carry nowadays. I just bought a pair of Justin boots 6 months ago. They were super tight when I got them and now I need two freaking socks to make them fit snug. It is like they never stretched the leather while making them. If I don't double up on the socks, my foot slips all over the place. Come to find out, Justin is made in China now too. Are there any USA made boots left at these stores? Or have they all sold out to China?

[@brendonjramsey]

[@misterio10gre]

I know what you mean, My father now goes to central Mexico to buy his boots in Leon Guanajuato(they are known for working with leather). Personally I got a pair of Ariat not knowing that they are made in China, they are comfortable and haven't given me any trouble yet but they just don't feel right. I know that Nocona, Tony Lama, and Lucchese are still making their boots in El Paso, however I can't say anything about them yet because I haven't had them for very long.

[@griminsights]

For the best quality Cowboy boots made in the USA, I recommend Olathe. They are hand made, high quality boots of various styles specifically catering to the Working Cowboy, or stock-man Whether you rodeo and need boots for saddle bronc, or you like the tall Buckaroo type boots that reach to your upper calf, block toe or almond; Olathe has them all. I bought a pair in 1995 and still have them and wear them all the time. They are my go to for riding or working the stock.They have stood up to the job and catch the gals eyes too. They are easily resoled and well worth the bit of extra cash they'll cost you. I just bought another pair and spent $345, resoling my old pair for $70. You can special order them direct and customize them to your specs as far as toe type, heel, mule ears, pull straps, etc. Heh, that read like a commercial.
