...years ago i discovered the joys of wearing cowboy boots. a good pair of cowboy boots is the ultimate in comfort - you can wear them for days on end without fatigue or pain. as an added bonus, they look great (except with too-short bell bottoms:rolleyes:)

any aficianados here? what are the best, sturdiest and most reliable brands available in canada? any reputable shops in the gta?

David, I have not yet discovered the joy of wearing cowboy boots and last year I thought of buying a pair but it never materialized. I heard people here and there talking about how comfortable they are. It certainly is a cool look.

I was looking for a bolo tie last year actually and went to this place called Bootmaster (bootmaster.com); it's right on Yonge Street, on the east side of the street, can't remember what's around there but a short walk up from Dundas Square.

I found a great bolo tie. That place is fantastic, great selection, great quality, wonderful service, relaxed atmosphere. I'm going on a limb here but with confidence that they are reputable.

A good place to start, cowboy! :2guns:

Geez, I find the complete opposite and I've had some pretty good cboy boots in the past. Nothing beats a good pair of Clark walking shoes for complete comfort.

Back in the late 80's / 90's? cowboy boots were the fashion rage, at least in SW Ontario. I had a pair of Boulet's that I wore the sole right out of over the course of a few years. They were indeed the most comfortable pair of footwear I have ever owned! A very close second were Doc's of that era.

I've never owned a pair of boots since, but if I still lived in Calgary I would probably own them again. Don't see too many people wearing them anymore.

I'll partially second Chito's post above re these boots....


I wore pretty much those exact boots for years, untill the uppers fell competely to ribbons.... never much liked the squared off toe, but the rest of the boot was great ehough to overlook that....

From them I went to a similar but MUCH sturdier pair of Harley-Davidson hytro boots.... like these...

They're for sale if anyone's interested... heh

The pair of boots I wear most often now is a pair of Canadian Army Garrison Boots


These are the most comfortable boots in the world.... AND they afford a LOT more protection to your feet than Boulet has ever had to offer. A great thing to have when hauling gear

I never wear them anymore.


Basketball shoes are MUCH more comfortable on stage.
I have a pair of Boulet suede cowboy boots that are really comfortable. my wife and kid get embarassed when I wear them. Wuss that I am I don't.

I mostly wear ECCO clogs in the summer and Merill snow mocks all winter.

Can't beat either
