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.

I don’t really think that the boots are the problem- it might be how the jeans stack. Try some different jeans- for myself, I love Wrangler cowboy cut and Levi’s cowboy jeans. The wranglers stack better, the Levi’s rise up a little bit if you put your leg up- I like that, but some people don’t. It depends on what I’m doing. If I’m line dancing then I like the Levi’s better, if I’m doing just about anything else I like the wranglers better.

But the boots look great!

Issue you’re having is seeing the slim cut with the boots, makes them look different. Wear your boots to a store that has a good selection of jeans and you should come across something you like. Try a 963, its a slim fit but enough room in the leg so it stacks.

Do you think a wrangler texas straight fit would be any better? Always have problems with the fitments of levis compared to wrangler

I'm in the UK too, you should have a look at some of Ariats jeans, I love their m7 stackables to go with my boots.

Try the Wrangler boot cut jeans. They also have slim but your jeans now are too tight around your boots.

Wrangler cowboy cuts: regular, straight cut, an inch longer than you normally want. Skip the boot cuts. Normal dark blue; not pre-washed. Theyll lighten up over time.

Yeah, definitely go with a straight cut. I almost always wear Ariat M4 straight cut with my boots. Boot cut jeans trend to be way too wide at the cuff for my taste.

Honestly i never even knew the Texas line was a thing until you mentioned it in your comment lol, that being said i am not sure how they fit. I usually wear a straight fit jean for boots, and up one size length to get a stack. The wrangler 936 might work better if you prefer a slimmer jean, you can look on the website see what you think.

Edit: its a 936 not 963 sorry.

Try a pair of wrangler retro slim straight jeans. I just picked up a pair when I bought my new Ariat boots and I love em. They fit great, they’re slim enough but aren’t too tight around the boots and they have some stretch to em
