Reddit mentions: The best western boots for men

yeah, but it depends on what you want to spend. Belstaff makes a pretty nice pair that looks like what you want but they are very expensive and a lot of that extra money goes towards fit and finish. The materials and construction might be better than Fryes, but not 400$ better, if you know what I mean.

Tecovas also make a nice tall womens boot but the heel is shorter than the others and there is no strap. The tops are scalloped a little bit as well. They have a leather sole which isn't great for winter but you can have any cobbler add a topy sole to them. These are very nice boots though, especially for their price.

This boot made by Boulet is also nice and have a bit higher of a heel, but still no strap. Its also a mens boot but don't be afraid to get a mens boot if you like the style because the anatomy of a womens foot is exactly the same as a mans. It's also advertised as a cowboy boot but it hardly is by modern standards. This is more of a style of boot that cavaliers and cowboys would have worn between 1850-1910. It has a leather sole and you would probably want to put a topy on it as well.

These Chippewas are also well made but again, the heels are short and there are no straps on them except for the engineer which is kind of short. The tall ones have leather soles, so again, you'd want to put a topy on them.

It's hard to find exactly what your looking for though because a lot of these types of companies are typically making styles of boots that have been around for about 150 years and don't really deviate much.

> if you are wearing thick leather boots with a solid square toe, like a mans cowboy boot or a nice workers boot, then you are most likely a dignified man who wants to wear a real, practical, manly, assertive shoe. Usually men who wear these kind of boots are the real deal for me and I like em.

Whelp, that's me I guess Dingo Harness Boot

My future father-in-law's first impression was apparently based on my choice of footwear. At the time I was wearing a pair of five-year-old Chippewas that were pretty beat up. He was impressed that I came over to meet the family in real boots, and not "the sissy lace-up kind".

Married 21 years now and boots remain my daily drivers.

(Edit: As for "manly", I'm 6'3", 250 lbs, manage an advertising production team for a national retailer, am obsessive about my lawn, and love cooking on the grill or in the kitchen. My wife says I'm a good wife. You figure it out)

I don’t know but I would recommend some nice black biker boots like these Dingo Men's Dean Boot,Black,9.5 D US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YD4XZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GX4nDbD46C59B I have some very similar that add 2 inches and don’t seem obvious and look very nice

Thanks, man! The style number on these is GA9262.54

I scored them on eBay for about $400 barely used; the sole hadn't even been scuffed up that much yet. I can't find this exact pair when I search Google, but here are some similar pairs I found on Amazon (which is where I get almost all of my boots):

• Lucchese Franklin (these are almost my exact pair)
  
  
• Lucchese Walter (these are also similar to my pair, I actually like them better)
  
  
• Lucchese Landon
  
  Keep in mind that caiman is probably the most expensive of all the exotic skins for cowboy boots. The boots I have are caiman hornback, so they have raised ridges as the leather comes to a point at the toe. Caiman also comes in a smoother version, typically referred to as caiman "belly"; same look, but no bumps. If you're looking for something cheaper but still exotic, ostrich skin is awesome. And Lucchese makes similar styles as those listed above with smooth and full quill ostrich skin. So thats another option, as well.

I'm curious, how much did all of that equipment cost and is it possible to do it without all of that equipment?

Edit: Also how do I know if my shoes are okay to dye? You said to deglaze them but they seem like they don't have a glaze on them right out of the box. They aren't shiny and I'm not sure if they are glazed.

I purchased these if you want to see the texture: https://www.amazon.com/Abilene-Mens-Pull-Western-Square/dp/B012XSDDK0/ref=pd_sbs_309_8?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B012XSDDK0&pd_rd_r=16cdc31c-da81-11e8-940e-5b72383d914d&pd_rd_w=PuhIj&pd_rd_wg=xK3dq&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=763ccc93-bfa2-47be-85ae-0cdd7e00b3da&pf_rd_r=CBDDG2P9S2E4PDZM1GYR&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&refRID=CBDDG2P9S2E4PDZM1GYR

Anyone have recommendations on high quality slippers/house shoes? I was thinking about these but have no actual experience with them. But full grain leather and all that. Good reviews as well.

I just want to be a sexy cowboy

These two are good starters.

I have biker boots with a heel and then I add more lift on the inside. I wear jeans/pants over the boot. It gives me about 2 more inches, which is significant. Don’t lift too much or it will mess with your gait.

Also, I’ve tried shoes that were designed to make guys taller, but each and every one had a giveaway in the way the heel is designed and they look weird.

The biker boots I have look like this:

It's legit. It's a legit site. I got my wife those Pajar boots and they are what they are supposed to be.

It's 200 bucks on Amazon. 120 on STP.

I got a pair of these years ago as a cheap/temp pair and they have been great boots... and I have no need or intention to replace them.

Not a huge fan of buying Chinese (or whatever they are), but I can't argue with the price/quality. Also not a big fan of wearing riding boots with laces so I prefer this style.

Here are some running shoe recommendations to go with those gaits:

You can always get straps for boots you already own

I usually wear henlys, jeans, and a single breasted peacoat

That's why Cowboys near me are buying these boots now.

Google Reverse Image Search says it's a Frye Marco Roper Boot in Dark Brown.
