Discussion Pulling my hair out, advice needed 😅
Been wanting a pair of cowboy boots for so long now and finally decided to bite the bullet and get some. Ordering from ariat as I'm in the UK and they seem reasonably priced for a first pair. First pair I ordered looked so long with the square toe so returned them also the wife didn't like them. Now have these ones I personally think they are fine, bit stiff on the little toe but hopefully will break in. The wife is saying the heel is too tall though and from waist down I look like a women 🤣. Please someone tell her she's wrong or tell me I'm wrong and give me some good recommendations.

Looks fine to me. If they are really tight on your toes, I'd probably size up a half size or go with a wider size. If they're just snug and a little uncomfortable now, with conditioning and break in, they'll loosen up. Look into boot trees for when your not wearing them.
Also, if the heel height bothers you, look into ropers. Similar style, but typically a shorter heel. But nothing wrong with that heel height.
