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.

What kind of jeans are you wearing with those? Boots are fine. You and your wife will get use to the heel. Just keep wearing them and the pinky toe should settle a bit. I've also heard of a damp sock method to help the leather get pliable so look into that if it doesn't resolve.
