Dusty Morningwood Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I want to surprise Red Molly with some new boots. She is finding that her ropers and other "cowboy" style boots give her fits on the gravel around so many of the ranges we shoot. So I thought some good lace up boots that maybe offer more padding in the soles? She likes B Western wear, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi Dusty, Flat thick soles are best. Otherwise, the ball of your foot takes the brunt of the gravel. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I just posted these on another thread. The Roper Kiltie are comfortable and have a spur ridge for spurs, wear like an athletic shoe. Click on the color and the picture will change, not B-Western flashy though. Good Luck Roper Kiltie Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicated Lady Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 B Western.... Lace up boots? I thought we weren't supposed to wear lace ups if shooting B Western. I could be mistaken. When I wear my saloon girl outfits or my school marm outfits I wear lace ups. I highly recommend Oaktree Farms "Steeple" boots. The heel is not too high. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting. I'm on my second pair of black ones. I wore out the sole and heel of the first pair. The top still looks great.

Complicated Lady Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hey Complicated Lady do you have a web site for those shoes, they sound like what my wife wants They are sold many different places. You can try Googling "Oaktree Farms boots" I know Wild West Merchantile sells them. They are also on Ebay. I would not pay more than $99 for a pair. I waited until I could get free shipping. You can tell your wife they are "true to size" I wear a size 8 shoe, I wear a size 8 in that boot. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No can do, pard: Boots are required and must be of traditional design with fancy stitching or multi-colorfancy design with with non-grip enhancing (i.e. “NO Lug”) soles. Lace up boots and moccasins are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Folks, He didn't say she wants to shoot the category. He said she likes the clothing. I dress sorta BW much of the time and haven't shot the category yet. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Morningwood Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks for the input. As Allie Mo said, RM like the look, but does not have to shoot the category. Comfort over style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty, check out Tim's Boots as well. Wildcat had to have an ankle replacement last year, and several of her boots were no longer suitable. We measured her foot carefully as per Tim's instructions, and had a a pair made for her. She almost cried when she put them on, saying they were the most comfortable boots she has ever worn.
