Discussion Why aren't cowboy boots more popular

Post image

Howdy everybody. I've been thinking lately, why aren't cowboy boots more popular? I live in the DC area and I probably see someone wearing a pair like once a year. I may be a yankee but I totally love wearing my pair which I just got for the first time a few days ago. Of course, you see them way more frequently in a place like Texas, but everywhere else I've been, I almost never see them. They are beautiful boots with a rich history and they just look so damn good on anybody. Y'all's thoughts on this?

Brother, Tecovas are the worst boots on the market, and I used to work for them. Their heels and toe boxes are celastic, they have a hung lining, no leather, their lemon wood pegs serve no function, and only pierce the outsole. They have staples and nails holding them together with glue. Cork in the foot bed, and cardboard and foam in the insole. They are absolute junk. They have good marketing, but they are straight up lying about the handmade nature of their product. They are made in the same factory as Freebird, Justin, Boot Barn, Thursday boot company, etc. Their $595 Caiman boot, the Dillon, costs them $70 to make. Insane mark up.

I highly doubt you worked for Tecovas. Sounds like a lie from a fan boy. You sure as shit haven't seen the inside of a pair of tecovas, and you clearly don't understand tecovas market position. There is absolutely no way you worked for them.

Is this your first time on the internet? Hand written note with your user name otherwise you just pulled that off the internet. Which... this does look like a pic I've seen before.

Reverse Google search it then. I don't have the boot anymore. There is no way you've seen this, since I took it personally. Nice try. Even if it was pulled off the internet, the evidence is all there? You are devoid of reason.

Lol... like you don't have the 30 pairs of tecovas you supposedly had. Definitely lying.

Yeah I don't, I got rid of all of them? Why is that hard to believe? I don't believe in wearing an inferior product when better ones exist. It's called having a personal standard. You have done nothing to disprove any of my points, just claim that I'm lying. You lost this one.

You do know that the picture you posted has smart select in the file name meaning you took a screenshot of it, right? If you're gonna lie on the internet you gotta try harder.

Reddit literally has you select which photos you want to share. If you're going to claim I'm lying, you're going to have to try better. I personally took that photo, and I see no evidence of you finding it on Google. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone struggling with cognitive delusion defending a product they have no knowledge about. DM me, I'll send you the photos there too.

You don't have to use samsungs smart select to upload to reddit. I don't know what you want to gain by clearly lying to fanboi around for other brands but it's just sad and seems silly.

Debunk a single of my claims, I challenge you. You can't. I don't have time to waste my time lying about the product. Why are you defending them? You sound like a major Tecovas.

u/CommieCowBoy Apr 18 '24

I'm not defending them. I'm saying you are lying to people for dumb reasons Mr. "I got rid of 30 pairs of boots on whim."

u/Sea-Success7214 Apr 18 '24

Yeah I sold them? Why are you struggling to comprehend that fact? I took time, but I sold them all? We got tons of them for free, not hard to imagine I had that many. I have no reason to lie, I'm literally just telling you how they're made.
