A friend of mine was wearing the same pair of cowboy boots for ages (mine lasted for about 8 years of continuous wearing). His mom was always nagging and told him to buy a new pair because they were in pretty bad condition. One day I was having a coffee at their place when his mom arrived and he told her: "Well mom, I guess you were right about my boots. Yesterday I threw them in the trash, this morning I saw a hobo picking them out then he threw them back without trying them on." :D

The only thing that can prevent you from wearing Cowboy boots is your own self confidence. If you feel good wearing them you rock them. If you are self conscious wearing them you ain't gonna pull it off. Doen't matter where you live, what you drive, or what you listen to. When I roll up in my Mustang convertible with BB King turned up on the stereo and I get out wearing boots, jeans, a hawaiian shirt and a fedora I don't fit anyone's mold. I am me and I do it well.

Myth #5 - Rounded or Pointy Toe Cowboy Boots squash your toes. I've got all kinds of toe styles with my many pairs of cowboy boots. I've had to explain it to people that the vamp (foot) is longer than your athletic shoes are to accommodate the narrowing toe. Naturally size and proper fit play into this as well. The only time I've ever had boots (any style and I have many) that hurt my feet was when they needed lots of breaking time or my feet had grown and the boots were not too small for me. Just remember that if you want to wear your boots, no matter what kind they are, wear them!! I've got some tall boots and most of the time I wear them with my jeans or pants tucked inside the tall shafts. I've gotten quite a few positive compliments from both men and women, and very few negative ones. So the moral of this is that only you can make you happy; others will make you unhappy if you let them. Don't worry about what other people think; Stand Tall and Wear dem Boots!!
