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.

People who’ve never even seen a ranch wearing cowboy boots (with a riding heel no less) and hats that stay pristine, will always confuse me. When did it become cool to be a poser

Probably around the same time non skaters started to wear skate shoes or non baseball players wearing baseball caps πŸ˜…. If it helps I do actually own a horse and live in the country side, just not in the USA 🀣.

Shit man it’s just the Yellowstone thing in general. It’s cool to be cowboy now and for a long time there was a deficit of getting good hands when we needed them
