re: Who wears cowboy boots and why?

I wear RedWing Pecos boots every day. They're basically a Roper style boot. I traded in my lace-up climbers when my job moved out of the field and into the office--probably saved several hours of time annually just by moving from lace up to slip on.

So, yeah, mostly for work (they meet the company footwear requirements for sole, heel, etc.), but I'm a farmer on the weekends, so I wear them there too.

Gotta be honest--we moved to a new church a few months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the pastor wearing full quill ostrich boots and jeans on Sunday morning. I've never attended a church where the clergy wore anything besides suit/tie. Seeing the pastor's attire basically gave me the excuse I needed to give up wearing the suit/tie combo myself. Now, it's jeans and boots for this old cowboy (and occasional telephone man) 7 days a week.

I don't wear them as much these days. I have a pair that needs to be resoled. If I take a notion I'll get them done. I don't care enough about wearing them right now.

I’m not saying this is you, but legitimately the trashiest people I’ve ever met were wearing crocs with jeans. Just a heads up unless you don’t care

You ain't a baw unless you wear camo crocs with jeans to church.

Walt, you are one strange cat.

This thread has been done several times.

The only answer you need is because you want to. I hope you get to the point in your life when you don't question your choices based upon perceived opinions of others.

I wear them because they are timeless. Never will go out of style.

Anyone recommend a pair to go with a tux?

For the Buckle Bunnies!

I don’t wear “cowboy boots”.

But I do wear Wellingtons all the time.

I wear boots because I want people to perceive me as a country guy

wore Tony Llamas and khakis every day to work before I retired.(jeans were not allowed0 They were just the most comfortable footwear for me
