I've never owned a pair of cowboy style boots before even though I live in Texas. I thought I would branch out and try some in my kind of style. These boots are very cute and all the stitching is great. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that the zipper is on the out side of the boot instead of the inseam. Mine also ran a little tight but not too badly. I just have to wear thin socks with these. Still loving them for now though.
