    Doug,

    This is going to sound stupid but who cares....You posted in another thread that IF you bought a mossberg for 200 I believe it was, you would be strapped for awhile...Now you are wanting a pr of cowboy boots for 40 bucks less?????

    Sounds to me like may be you should wait on both...you dont need the boots...In all honesty you want them to "fit in" at a bar, right?....If there are second hand stores or thrift stores, check them out for a pr if you want them so bad....

    The gun will get you food in a pinch, or protect your home, your life...the boots wont...


    I know its not what you want to hear but its the first thing that came to mind when I read the other thread of yours...

    Doug,

    Nocona and Justin boots are both owned by Berkshire Hathaway. I was trying to find out how Warren Buffet used his money politically, but am running out of time this morning. I did see he raised a lot of money for Hillary and is planning to do the same for Obama. I know you have about decided to give up Levis over their donations, maybe someone could look up Warrens feelings on gun control?

    I am curious now...

    I sure am glad to have GB for a resource for everything - you all help me a lot.

    "This is going to sound stupid but who cares....You posted in another thread that IF you bought a mossberg for 200 I believe it was, you would be strapped for awhile...Now you are wanting a pr of cowboy boots for 40 bucks less?????"

    I honestly appreciate your thoughts, Beth. My cowboy boot research has just started, and will probably take a couple of months before I make a decision.

    I will be buying the scattergun when I get my check on Wednesday.

    Thank you, again.

    And you're right about the reason to buy them - just to fit in at the Silver Spur. I look like quite an out-of-place person when I'm there.

    +1. The reason that I ask is that I have a couple of pairs lying around that I don't wear anymore.

    I'm a 9 1/2 - 10, with duck shaped feet.

    But if your feet are bigger than that, I could wear big sox.

    Whatcha got & how much ??

    Thank you.

    Elk hide might make a good boot -- soft yet tough -- but I don't kow how long they hold up. I would advise against ordering western boots from a catalog. Fitting is wierd, and normal shoe sizes mean nothing. If it's a true leather western boot, it has to be tried on. And perfect fit won't happen for several weeks after you buy them (the vamp will loosen up and the heel cup will tighten).

    Go to a boot store with employees who know their business, and try them on.

    Chit kickers that don't fit properly can be sheer misery.

    After the giant misunderstanding with the Russian Mob, there are now two things I won't ever order from the internet.

    1) Footwear
    and
    2) Twenty-something Ukranian Women.

    You never get what you think you're getting, they're usually a few sizes too big and dude, no refunds means NO refunds.

    Trust me.

    Mine would be too big for you (size 11-1/2 and 12). Sorry.

    Edit: Doug, here are some good ones. I have a pair that I bought 12 years ago. The only thing I have had to do to them is have them re-soled. Plus, the are cheaper than the ones you are looking at.

    Doug:
    Get them in 9 1/2 EEE and if you don't like them, send them on over.
