slimtubing – how very dare you, blundies are NOT cowboy boots.

I think you mean Blunnies

I have an old pr of Blunnies, def def NOT cowgay boots

Sometimes cow boots are ace:

For sure

I've allways regarded cowboy boots as the same as exotic animals, great in their natural enviroment but a crime out of it
Desert boots are cool though

If it's desert boots you're after:

I have a pair of cowboy boots from about thirty years ago, Acme Boots, the square toed sort with the harness straps on as
someone was talking about. Started a pale creamy colour leather but I dyed them dark brown. Wore the damn things until they literally started to fall apart; the insole wore through and the leather started to crack and split where they flexed. Great boots with jeans, I'd love another pair, been looking at the black engineer/biker type ones, although that matt black pair hora posted are pretty sharp looking. Still prefer the square/chisel toe style, as I'm not so keen on Cuban heels.

Zascar and BA-nana they could wear zip up the front furry on the inside granny boots and look good

I used to wear cowboy boots a lot with bootcut levis etc during the garage rock revival of the early 00s (see bands like Jet and the Datsuns for further evidence).

I used to wear Beatle boots a lot during the garage punk and acid rock revival of the 80s (see bands like Chesterfield Kings, Plasticland for further evidence). Anyone wearing cowboys boots would have been pointed in the direction of, I dunno, INXS or something. You gotta ask yourself, would Billy Childish wear cowboy boots? Would The Mummies? No. I still can't get over garage rock.

I've always liked cowboy boots- worn discreetly under good jeans and worn in they can look good.

No they can't. To paraphrase what has been pointed out elsewhere, take them out of their natural environment and a crime against nature is committed. It's like ponchos, Nepalese knitwear or dolphin steaklets.

Wear whatever footwear&clothing you want. The worse thing in the world is dressing like all the identikit blokes you see out at the weekend- shirts that look like they are from Burtons untucked (or tshirt), jeans, indistinct black shoes etc and a liberal drenching of Lynx.

Stand out and you'll illicit an extreme reaction from the girls- either they'll point or they'll be intrigued IMO.

Always worked for me 😀

I think you can easily differentiate yourself from the winebar disco pub crowd without resorting to cowboy boots.

Do what cyclists do when they arrange a group meet in a pub? Wear a cycling jacket? Turn up on a bike? 😆 8)

I think, "take the p1ss" is the phrase you're looking for. 😉

We'll I love my cowboy boots. They are dead comfy.

I do however draw the line at wearing my cowboy belt buckle – unless of course I'm going to a fancy dress party.

ah yes, the girls always go for the odd one out! which school did you go to?

It's Friday, and Hora is off 'Down the Pub with the Boys…….'

That looks like fun actually…

When I was really young we used to go to Barn dances- whoopin' amazing fun 😀

each to their own.

Oddly enough, the square-toed style that I prefer tends to be referred to as a 'biker boot', rather than a 'cowboy boot', as it's similar in style to the round toed engineer boot that American bikers tend to wear. You'd probably find them worn with a scruffy pair of jeans and a scuffed black leather jacket than a check shirt with a bootlace bolo tie and a huge silver beltbuckle with a steer skull on it. That's what I used to wear to Mötörhead, Clash, Girlschool, Jam, and Stranglers gigs, anyway. My biker jacket was particularly disreputable, usually soaked through with sweat after being in the pit. The boots were great for stopping your toes from getting stomped on.

Brokeback Mountain anyone ?

these do a pretty good job of that too:

So … Hora … tell me … has anyone taken the pi** when you've been strutting around in these?

Any compliments received?

Anyone crossed the road?

We need to know. 😀

Holy Thread Resurrection!

It was a brilliant thread! A real STW Classic. 😀

But we do need to know how Manchester reacted – could Hora be 'on-trend' for the Season?

Ha, looking at the clogs above I was actually looking at some of those at our local folk festival earlier this year and thinking how good they'd be at some gigs I've been to, for stomping on the toes of people trying to shove past to the front.

True it was a good. As for the reaction he got, it would very much depend on which part of Manchester he was strutting his stuff through.

Canal Street could have been "interesting".

Broken in (with All Saint jeans over)- they actually look great. They do however make me circa 6ft5 tall 😯

I have a pair of Goth Cowboy Boots. Black leather high heels black snakeskin lots of studs and fleur de lis pattern. Look better than they sound. Honest. Time to start wearing them again methinks, the gauntlet has been thrown down…

(p.s are you having a mid life crisis btw ?)

Went to a motorcycle 'festival' in town yesterday, there were tattoos, leather chaps, and cowboy boots everywhere, Hora would've fit right in…

I don't have tattoo's though 😥 😆

What are All Saints jeans???

Edit: Found it:

All Saints have a huge collection of mens jeans that are the cutting edge of fashion. With attention to detail, and unusual fits, an All Saints man is a man who knows his fashion, and wants to stand out from a crowd.

Him proper buff?

Thats not me but 50% off sale means it IS me 😆

I've entered an alternate reality forum by mistake…..

U31 are you a Cowboyist?

I'm not a brokebackist, if thats what your angling at!
