Kid Drover Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Hi Y’all, My feet are being chewed up by my standard lacers. Other than earth walkers (great boots but out of my price range), what is the most comfortable legal foot wear (boots)? Thanks for stoping by and helping and old cowboy continue to limp along.

Doc Shapiro Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Everyone's feet are different. You're just going to have to try on a mess of different boots. That said, I like the Ariat work boots.
Captain Clark Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 You may find that Justin work boots with the Jflex insole technology will give you the comfort your looking for with stable support as a bonus. Remember to look for the USA made Justin Jflex boots. They work for me! Like Doc Shapiro mentioned, try on a few to see whats for you
Cat Brules Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Try on Ariat “Roper”-style boots. 12” shaft, with walking heels and round toe. Cat Brules
Krazy Kajun Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 KCD, I like these, Ariat Lacers and they are pretty comfortable and popular in our neck of the bayou! Kajun
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Red Wing Shoes is what I wear. Used Red Wing work boots for 25+ years, lots of choices, ankle boots too that look just like brogans. I still have a nice pair of 11" slip-ons for dress up somewhere, but I can't wear any kind of boot now, that's why I wear shoes. If you decide to look at them go to Red Wing store to be measured on their gizmo. Good Luck https://www.redwingshoes.com/
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Have your pediatrist write a letter requesting that you be allowed to wear a athletic shoe. SASS has no problem accommodating a medical condition

The only SHB refences to "soles" is in regard to the CC & BW categories prohibiting "LUG soled" boots. The following rule changes were made in 2010: Quote CLARIFICATION: Boot soles for CC/BW (edit language to read "NO LUG SOLES".) The way it reads now is too restrictive & has already been ruled as non-applicable. Boots are required and must be of traditional design with leather or smooth rubber non-grip enhancing (i.e NO “lugs”) soles). Moccasins are not allowed. SHB (Classic Cowboy/Cowgirl) Boots are required and must be of traditional design with fancy stitching or multi-color fancy design with smooth, non-grip enhancing (i.e. NO “lugs”) soles. Lace up boots and moccasins are not allowed. SHB (“B” Western) SOURCE
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Bare foot is also an option. As in boots aren't required.
Chief Rick Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Do you want to wear boots? How about a pair of wing-tips? Not everybody wore boots.

Mine seem to get worse every year - - make that month. Not sure. My shoulders, biceps, left forearm, & ring finger on right hand all hurt so bad, I haven't been able to pay attention to my feet! I'll check & get back to you.
Trailboss (Santa) Dave Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 My foot doc's say I have to wear custom made boots ands shoes with custom insoles Redwing made me a nice 8 inch pair of lace up boots and I just picked up another pair, sorry I don't remember the brand, from my local Hanger store Sad to say my 17 inch boots just set in the closet and collect dust as I can't wear them all day anymore
Patagonia Pete Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 There was a lot of interest in these ... AND ... a big thread/discussion about a month ago!!

J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526 Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 I have Ariat “Roper”-style boots, they look nice and to make them feel better I changed the insole to a softer one that had more support where I needed. Still tough on my feet after wearing all day. For the most comfort, I wear my go to work boots, Wolverine Durashocks. With better insoles these work for me when I wear them all day. I normally have two pairs and buy them when on sale. Wolverine Durashocks

Hmm Nobody would shoot with only bibs, a hat, and no shirt or shoes. I'm just sayin
Mister Badly Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 I swapped out the standard insoles in my Durango's for gel insoles. Worked well
