I finally found a cowboy boot (cowgirl) that doesn't pinch my toes.  Everyone is right about Ariat boots being comfy, as long as you can get a size that works and a toe that works for you.  I couldn't wear the pointy toes in the same size but these round toes are just what I need.  I was trying to find something in a square toe but difficult to get a boot that has EVERYthing you want.  I'm size 11 and I was tempted to get size 10 because of the reviews that say Ariat runs large.  I found Ariat boots in a store where I could actually try on and they only went to size 10.  I couldn't begin to get into them!  So, I don't know what's up with so many saying they run large....
