Hi CP,

>I want a pair of the heeled cowboy boots everyone was wearing...<

Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada.

Best prices in Mexico.

It's somewhat amusing that about 2 months ago there was a thread teasing someone about wearing Western wear in Europe.

How much do you want to pay? Do you want made-to-measure or off the shelf? There are a lot of bootmakers and even more stores that sell boots. Depends on what's important to you.

I'd recommedn my ussual source but am not sure you are willing to go to 4 figures, and probably no need to, either, if you just want to make a simple fashion statement.

Hi Ira, I had the same thought about the other thread (smile) as you did.
See, the posters husband knew what to wear, LOL.

My big ole size 14 bubba boots make quite a fashion statement and they only cost in the low two figures. Leaves me more cash for my super tight wifer beater shirts!

Hey degas, as long as a guy is in style, it doesn't matter how little he paid for the fashion statement, LOL.

I definitely think the key words are &quot;<b> is in style </b> and since I suspect the original poster is actually a woman, this could be very interesting.

Intrepid &quot;as in style&quot; which post had that statement? I couldn't find it.
And yes, I assume the CP was a female. But then maybe not. But the point is ??

These are not regular cowboy boots (I'm from Texas). We saw these boots in Italy in December and they were very fitted on the leg with beautiful supple leather but the heel shape and toe was like a cowboy boot. They were really cool and lots of beautiful Italian women wearing them with skirts. I have not seen anything exactly like them here...yet.
