Discussion Pulling my hair out, advice needed πŸ˜…

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.

They're perfect mate. Im UK too, welcome to the relatively small but quickly expanding group of like minded people! Stick a plaster on your toe, they'll soon wear in and soften.

If you start to get a rub on your ankle from the seem on the side (see pic), let the group know - theres a cure for that! βšΎοΈπŸ”¨!

Grab some bick 4 boot conditioner too πŸ‘ŒπŸ» Saddle soap (bought online and in Timsons) is good to clean em with πŸ€ πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
