Pulling them on and taking them off is an art that you soon master, but if it's your first time wearing a cowboy boot, it's something you'll need to learn. And to take them off, you need to pull from the heel away from your foot. If you've never bought a cowboy boot, you want them to fit snug, to the point that you're using the straps to pull them on. So, with Boot Barn's guidelines in mind, these unmarked Tony Lama boots that we think are a size 5 should fit up to a size 5.5 (and I recommend a foot on the narrow side just from experience with Tony Lamas). If it is your first pair of western boots, usually start with 1/2 a size down from your normal shoe size. If you own another brand of boots, that size will usually do. If you are familiar with the brand, order the same size you usually wear in that brand. Side seam, from the top of the heel (not ground) to the top of the leather strap: 10-3/4"īecause buying boots online is not easy, I've captured advice from Boot Barn, America's largest western wear store. Shaft, down back from top of the heel (not ground) to the top of the leather upper: 9-1/2" Sole, from back of bottom heel to toe: 9-3/8" (closer to 10-1/4" as measured with boot against wall) Very old style, almost Victorian in look with the scalloped wing tip.Īn amazing vintage boot with an old-fashioned look that fulfills that yearning for the past. Uppers have scuffing and the piping has worn away per the close ups in Photo 8. The soles and original heels are in good condition considering the age. We estimate these to be a Women's size 5, fitting up to a 5.5, but check measurements carefully. These are likely 1980s or maybe even older given the old maker mark, and with many old boots the size information printed into the interior has worn off. Yes, history.Here we have a great old pair of short Tony Lama cowboy boots that just exude Country Western. These are the folks who can distinguish the best cowboy brands from the subpar.Īnd if you’re looking for a crash course-or are looking to try the style that’s as American as apple pie, as American as immigrants looking to make it big in the Land of the Free-I rounded up the best cowboy boot brands in history. They are part of their everyday lives they are a uniform. But for many guys, men with roots in, say, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, and Tennessee, cowboy boots are not a fad. It’s a style that falls in and out of fashion constantly. Admittedly, not everyone has the same ardor for the Western trend. Now, I have five pairs of cowboy boots, and have bid farewell to many more over the years. I would experiment with other looks throughout the decades, of course, adding a touch of this and a bit of that, but it’s hard to miss the indelible impact that Fievel and cowboy culture had on my personal style. From then on, all things Western became part of my MO. I grew out of them fairly quickly, sadly, but I cherished those boots like they were treasure. My birthday parties for two years were Western-themed, I made all my friends play gunfight at the OK corral with me every weekend, and I seldom stepped out my front door without my real-deal cowboy boots. To say that I was obsessed with the film is putting it lightly. The flick is about a young immigrant mouse from the Bronx (my neighborhood) and his odyssey into the Wild West in the late 1800s, the era when cowboy boots originated. It was 1992 when I got my hands on VHS of the animated classic, which I would watch daily for the better part of two years. I have to thank An American Tail: Fievel Goes West for introducing me to cowboy boots.
