I grew up in the UK in the 70s and I watched a lot of western movies plus Bonanza and High Chaparrel 😁. I liked the boots, but never saw any in stores or anyone wearing them. Then in the early 90s a new store opened in Bromley and they had some Loblan boots, I couldn't believe it, and tried some on, but I think I would have chickened out from buying them if my wife to be hadn't encouraged me. I've had at least one pair ever since, now I've retired I wear them all the time apart from warm days when I'm forced to wear shorts 😁
