| - I'm not a real Cowboy. Even though I was born and raised in Montana, aka Big Sky Country, I'm just a button-down corporate puke type. Nordstrom sees the bulk of my clothing allowance and the only boots I owned were the kind that fasten to a pair of downhill skis.
That all changed a couple years ago when I got an urge to get a pair of cowboy boots. I picked up a beautiful pair of Nocona boots and was completely hooked. They are so comfortable and excellent for traveling as they're easy to get on and off.
This Christmas I decided I wanted a black pair to add to my collection but the shop I bought those at went out of business about a year ago. I've seen the Boot Barn on my way to Costco so we stopped in there to have a look around.
They really have a terrific selection of boots, lots of different styles, leathers, heel sizes, etc. They also have a fantastic selection of men's and women's western apparel, both the P(rincess) and I bought new shirts.
I struggled to get the help I needed as I had a bunch of questions to make sure I purchased a similar pair of boots that would give me the same satisfaction as my current pair. The P finally got someone to help us and unfortunately he was was too new to help us and clearly wasn't participant of Western couture with his Vans shoes and Quicksilver shirt. I'll echo some of the other reviews that there was definitely a bit of an attitude from the legacy employees which I always find disheartening.
Since I couldn't get to a comfort level on the quality of the boots, whether they would stretch or not, if they were similar to my current pair, I opted not to make the purchase right then. This turned out to be ok as I was able to get a 10% coupon on-line just by taking their customer survey. They have a generous rewards program and I'm looking forward to getting back in and finding another pair of boots, you know, the kind that are made for walkin. . .
Now, about that horse. . .
