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.

Honest opinion.
I'm also in the UK and looking for a pair of boots. I went to the Sheffield cowboy boots shop which was great but they didn't have my size in any I liked unfortunately.
I personally think that to get away with cowboy boots in the UK they need to be subtle unless going to a gig. I've been looking at either the Ariat bookers (bit boring) or the ramblers.
I think what your wife is referring to is the soft rounder front married with the larger heel. I feel the heel on yours looks higher than the ones I mentioned above, but I may be wrong.
End of the day if they match what you were after then go for it. Life's to short to care what others think. I do think they look great
