Justins are the least comfortable IMO

Try out some Ariat boots next time.

Ariat is a very comfortable, low cost option that still looks great.

Nope you are right, I'm a woman. Seriously, I know my cow shite. My dad ran 2000 + head of cattle. He was a legit cowboy. He ran a small herd of Angus, what he called a "gentleman's herd". They were fed and handled on the regular. You could work those herds in tennis shoes. They were breeders, high dollar cows that were spit shined, polished and had pictures in magazines. On the other hand, The bulk of his money came from cows that fended for themselves most of the year on more than 1500 acres with maybe 200 acres of that swamp. Bringing them in in the fall required serious handling.

When I was about 13, on one of these moves, my dad set me and my horse at an open break in woods - maybe 10 feet wide. The cows would be running through - picture an alley with woods on each side then a break in the trees. My job was to keep the herd from turning at that break. Well, my cousin's horse drew up lame so he took me off my horse, changed saddles,looked around handed me two big sticks, said you'll be fine and took off. Well, there I was, in that gap with no horse, 1000 + head of cattle bearing down fast, little ole me and those sticks. Thank God they didn't turn.

So please, no one tell me I don't know the cattle business. There is a ton of shite I know nothing about and I won't post about it, but it isn't cattle and horses.

PS square toe boots make your legs look thick.

You may know cattle, but your worthless anecdote is just that.

2467 acres. I know this exact number because it's all mine now, I'm an only child.

My Dad grew up dirt poor. He started breaking horses for a rancher as a teenager and turned that into his legacy. I could not be more proud. I grew up thinking he was poor - we needed a gate - buy one, no way 3 branches and a few strands of barbed wire = perfectly good gate. That was how he rolled.

ETA regretting I got all up in this thread - I prefer to keep my shite on the down low. But still, square toe cowboy boots are lame.

LINK

In the movie Tombstone, Wyatt steps off the train wearing square-toed boots. Aren’t those a 1970’s invention?

Nope, old-time boots usually featured square or round toes. Civil War boots worn by cowboys had flat heels and round toes. These boots gave way to the cavalry boot with higher heels and a reinforced arch.

Who gives a frick about looks? It's about comfort. I started wearing them the day I tried on a pair of square toe work boots.

Is Mingo a troll or is really this freaking insecure?
