![]() These boots go with jeans, dresses, skirts, and rompers.ĭon’t mind these pale legs, they need a little more California sunshine to hit the. The aroma of new leather greeted my nose instantly when I opened the box and the boots felt buttery soft. Not all leather is created equally and I’m sure you’ve noticed that before. I can’t think of a single boot brand that ever came this important piece of paper.Īnother thing that really impressed me about Tecovas was the leather quality. The fact that Tecovas put this handy try-on guide in the box with their boots was impressive. Fit is one of the most important aspects of wearing a pair of boots, chances are if the boot hurts you feet you are wearing the wrong size! Remember my article on Debunking Common Myths About Cowboy Boots? This handy guide is something more people should read especially if they are uneducated about cowboy boots. Then I picked up the guide and realized Tecovas really understood what made a good pair of boots. I actually put on my boots before I even read the boot try-on guide and accurately described the whole process to my husband beforehand. I don’t notice the heel slip in all of my cowboy boots and it’s usually the more expensive ones that are better made that have this fit feature. But once I took a step and felt the heel slip, I knew these were well made. The boots fit snuggly around my feet, nice and comfortable. If you think a week isn’t long enough to test out a pair of boots, let me tell you this – I knew Tecovas were going to pass the test from the moment I put them on. I’ve been wearing my Tecovas boots for a week and can honestly say these boots are meant for walking. Most boots I’ve worn around the $200 mark aren’t boots I could vouch for in terms of all day comfort. Tecovas come in at a price point around $200, that’s almost unheard of for a good pair of boots. Some boots are made better than others and it’s usually safe to say – the higher the price, the better the boot. I’ve toured three cowboy boot factories and worn almost every brand. I’m boot obsessed and I know a thing or two about cowboy boots. It’s no secret I share a lot of boots and brands on this blog weekly. Last week I introduced you to Tecovas, an Austin, Texas-based company selling boots at an affordable price point. Yes, history.Looking for a new pair of boots? I put Tecovas to the test. These are the folks who can distinguish the best cowboy brands from the subpar.Īnd if you’re looking for a crash course-or are looking to try the style that’s as American as apple pie, as American as immigrants looking to make it big in the Land of the Free-I rounded up the best cowboy boot brands in history. They are part of their everyday lives they are a uniform. But for many guys, men with roots in, say, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, and Tennessee, cowboy boots are not a fad. It’s a style that falls in and out of fashion constantly. Admittedly, not everyone has the same ardor for the Western trend. Now, I have five pairs of cowboy boots, and have bid farewell to many more over the years. I would experiment with other looks throughout the decades, of course, adding a touch of this and a bit of that, but it’s hard to miss the indelible impact that Fievel and cowboy culture had on my personal style. ![]() From then on, all things Western became part of my MO. I grew out of them fairly quickly, sadly, but I cherished those boots like they were treasure. My birthday parties for two years were Western-themed, I made all my friends play gunfight at the OK corral with me every weekend, and I seldom stepped out my front door without my real-deal cowboy boots. To say that I was obsessed with the film is putting it lightly. The flick is about a young immigrant mouse from the Bronx (my neighborhood) and his odyssey into the Wild West in the late 1800s, the era when cowboy boots originated. It was 1992 when I got my hands on VHS of the animated classic, which I would watch daily for the better part of two years. I have to thank An American Tail: Fievel Goes West for introducing me to cowboy boots. ![]()
