I want a western boot that is comfortable, looks good and will wear well. I like these, but need to be sure that their styling will work in and out of the saddle. (aka sole, heel, etc).

New York City shoe/boot shops?

*golden*delicious* asked:


More specifically, I’m looking for boots with wide calf sizes, I have disproportionately large calves and they are the bane of my boot-wearing life. I’m going to be in Manhattan in a couple of weeks, just wondering if there was anywhere in particular to get a nice pair?

I am fashioned-impaired and can’t dress myself. What kind of shoes go with boot cut jeans?

I live in a western state and have finally transitioned to a modern boot-cut jean. However, due to my lifestyle I also wear cowboy boots most days. I hate tennis shoes. Are cowboy boots appropriate and what else looks good with boot cut jeans besides tennis shoes? I am in my mid thirties and finally got rid of the ’80s tapered levi look. Help!

How can I clean old boots to make them look like new?

tony lama boots
Your Asking Me? asked:


We want to clean some old Tony Lama Boots….They need to be shined….buffed. They look great otherwise. The only other thing is, they smell bad….Like our basement. Kind of moldy. They aren;t moldy, they just have an awful odor. I guess I just want to re-fresh them and get that odor out. There must be something I can use on them. Any suggestions out there? Thank you.
I guess what I need is an odor eliminator that I can use on good boots.

Loving My Muck Boots

boot
Don VanPelt asked:


I am absolutely loving my Muck Boots! It seems like finding the perfect pair of boots is like searching for the Holy Grail. I have purchased dozens of pairs, trying to find a pair that I can really count on to be warm, 100% waterproof, well-constructed, and actually comfortable for a long day’s work. I find that I am consistently disappointed-left with cold, wet feet and blisters. That is, until I just purchased my first pair of Muck Boots. I don’t think I’ll ever go back now.

As a year-round outdoor construction worker, if I want to make money then I have to be willing and able to work in all sorts of weather conditions. Winters around here are very long, and they bring a wide variety of weather-some days are well below freezing with intolerable temperatures and icy surfaces, other days bring wet, slushy conditions. I have to work no matter what the weatherman says. Having a pair of boots that I can count on to perform well in any situation makes a huge difference in my ability to do my job successfully.

I was surprised to discover that a pair of durable work boots could actually be really comfortable. I bought myself a pair of Arctic Sport Extreme Conditions Sport Boots and now I have absolutely no problem making it through a long work day in the cold or wet weather. These boots are incredibly durable, and I work in some pretty rugged conditions outdoors. Muck Boots are definitely built to last, with a tough outsole that provides excellent protection and stability, and a molded midsole and contoured footbed that keeps my feet comfortably cushioned for the whole day. No worries about those cold days, either, since these Muck Boots are thermal insulated and designed to endure temps as low as forty degrees below zero!

The stretch-fit upper fits snug to my calves, keeping the warmth in and the cold out, yet allowing me incredible freedom of movement-I hardly know I am wearing boots! Whether I am climbing a ladder or carrying heavy building materials, I know my footing is safe and secure when I am wearing my Muck Boots. And, an extra toe bumper helps out when my cold hands drop something heavy! If only Muck Boots made gloves, too….

I’ve been through more than my fair share of cheap, generic rubber boots that just don’t hold up as well or keep me as warm and comfortable as my Muck Boots. Amazingly enough, these boots don’t look at all like you’d expect for such a “utility” boot. They are actually pretty sleek and stylish for a durable work boot, and I am seriously thinking about getting myself another pair for everyday wear. There are definitely plenty of styles to choose from, and there are some that would definitely pass for a pair of great shoes-the secret is how durable and comfortable they actually are for any conditions. And, I may have just started a new trend, since the guys on my crew are all looking to get themselves some Muck Boots, after seeing how much of a difference mine have made!

Should I be worried? Legs giving out on my mare?

rocky boots
KJF asked:


I have noticed that my mare’s right hind leg seems to buckle and give out on her. She hasn’t fallen (although it leads to a very noticeable “jerk” back), and it hasn’t been a problem, but I’m still worried. I’ve only witnessed it happening while I was riding her, but that’s not to say it doesn’t happen in the pasture (and no, I’m not too heavy for her, I weigh a whopping 115). It seems to happen more often after a hard workout, and more often on rocky or difficult terrain, although it has happened in the arena too. She’s been off of regular work for probably a year, so I’m wondering if I’m working her too hard and she just weak? She’s approximately 8, she doesn’t wear any sort of boots or wraps, she’s barefoot. She’s had every vaccine available (with weeks in between, obviously) because I’m paranoid. She gets turned out all day, stalled at night. That’s all the relevant info I can think of. I’m going to call the vet, but I just wanted to know if anyone’s experienced something like this
It happens maybe once a day, or every other day, or sometime twice in one ride. It also happens much more frequently going downhill.
You’re right, it would be hard to get her to do it in front of the vet. I would probably have her do a neuro exam as that is the worrisome area - lameness and tripping can get better. A neurological condition often just gets worse : (
Although I think it’s a good sign that it only happens to one leg in terms of the possibility of a neurological condition.
Oh, also, she did have an injury a couple months ago to her left hind cannon bone. Tried to kick a mare through a pipe gate and got stuck in it (she was totally provoked by this mean mare next to her!). Destroyed the gate. Her cannon bone and around/above her fetlock was very swollen but she wasn’t lame in the slightest. Even the vet said I should keep exercising her. On the other hand, my mare is amazingly sweet and does NOT show pain in any situation. I don’t know why. I’ve never seen her pin her ears (although she probably did when she kicked that horse, but I didn’t see it)- girth tightening, shots, poking and prodding bumps, of course consequently I’m very aware of when she could be in pain, so I’m very careful… Do horses get that chronic insensitivity to pain like humans do? If so she has it. Either that or she truly is the sweetest mare God ever made.
She’s a tennessee walker, but she doesn’t do the running walk (yet!). She does have a tendency to flat walk, and I think that’s when it happens most - flat walk or trot. She also just barrels on like a tank and as a result is clumsy. But again, same leg makes me think it isn’t a coincidence.
