Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I can't find them anywhere except online. My question is do they run pretty much true to size? I hate buying shoes online except for sneakers, they usually fit. Like this................
Too Tall Bob Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I wear them - size seems to run true. Very comfortable
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I have feet that don't like most boots anymore, and I find that buying new ones is a big pain. I do have to go on-line because most boot stores don't stock any kind of ropers, especially those soft-sole boots like you show. So, deal with an on-line company that does a free return policy. I find about 1/4 of the time they run bigger or smaller than normal. Most of them are made overseas, so holding "American" size correctly seems hard for them to do at their low cost. Some companies like Boot Barn will let you have them delivered to store where you can try them on and not worry about shipping back because the store knows fit will not always be perfect. Be willing to put in custom or replacement insoles if you have medical needs. I don't think I've seen the Horseshoe brand before, let alone tried them on for fit. good luck, GJ
Captain Bill Burt Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 My feet also don't care for most boots. Ariat's were ok, but not optimal. White's boots are expensive, very expensive from my perspective, but my feet have felt much better since I started wearing them. The one's I bought fit well in the same size as my Ariats, but were a bit bigger and heavier than I expected (about 3 lbs). My next set will be the smaller MP-Shermans.
Captain Clark Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 @Rye Miles #13621 As I remember they do run true to actual size. I haven’t bought Horseshoes recently, ( pandemic) but they are comfortable and have good support! I usually find them at actual / factual western wear stores!
DeaconKC Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 My Wolverine Ropers run very true to size. And they are extremely comfortable and have held up very well.
Choctaw Jack Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I've worn Justin Ropers for years. They seem to run pretty much true to size. I lived about 40 miles from the Justin outlet in El Paso, so it was really easy for me to pop in and pick up a pair( I still own several). Unfortunately, I have moved out of the area, so I haven't bought any for quite a while.
Hoss Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Most comfortable boot I’ve found is the Knox by Tecovas. Very reasonably priced. And can get them in size 15 EE. (My brother used to tell me to just wear the boxed his boots came in !) They do free returns for any reason. Size is true. I have 3 pairs!
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 These are the most comfortable foot wear that you can wear playing cowboy.

Crepe soled Justins are... no old, fat guy bending over to tie laces required! Like wearing tennis shoes! Mine are on their 3rd set of soles!
Captain Bill Burt Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 These kept my feet dry during the great monsoon at SC State in ‘23.
Mister Badly Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I wear moc toe wedge sole boots for my extry wide and long feet.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 I ordered a pair like I have pictured in the OP, they’re coming tomorrow. Thanks for the info
Texas Maverick Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 I will be ordering a pair today. I have problems with regular boots cuz I can't get my feet to bend to go down the chute on them so have a pair of Ariats but they are a pain to lace up for someone that has problems bending over so tried the Tecovas zippered ropers and they fit fine but are hard on my feet after walking on the rough, uneven ground for the match because they are just flat leather soles. These look like they have good soles and padding so I am hoping they work on this old mans feet. Update: Just ordered my regular 11D from Amazon. Should be here for my next match at Green Mountain. Will let ya know how it goes with the new boots. I really am looking forward to wearing them and seeing if I am able to walk after the match. TM
Gray Hare, SASS #20821 Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 I wear these and love them. My feet and calf's always hurt after shooting. Started wearing these and the pain all went away. Gray Hare
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 Okay folks, got em today!! They’re great! Comfortable! Glad I bought em!
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 They have the foot bed of a running shoe. That is the big secret!
Texas Maverick Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 This is what I bought and they are on their way. This is the walking model and not the hiking model so has the steel shank. https://www.amazon.com/Roper-Mens-Horseshoe-Walking-Brown/dp/B002DQY4CE/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=397149597281&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9028275&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9042559684639148307&hvtargid=kwd-303301682783&hydadcr=15252_9600101&keywords=horseshoe%2Bropers&qid=1686064876&refinements=p_n_size_browse-vebin%3A1285071011&rnid=1285068011&s=apparel&sr=1-1&th=1&psc=1

Texas Maverick Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Just got mine in from Amazon and they look great. Will try them out this weekend. Thanks for asking about them because I was unaware of them. TM
watab kid Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 im stilll wearin the original low heal boots i got at cabellas some 20 years ago now , i keep hoping they will show signs that might prompt me to replace them , i think im too frugal , or my wifes frugality has worn off on me , yet , i spent the cash for a nice pair of NRV when my "other stuff" acted up at a match , not at all sure why i dont care as much of my feet - i am learning tho and im in the throws of replacing the bits that dont work for me - boots are next on the list , my feet deserve it i think , my body definitely does
