    Kilted Cowboy

    I went to a Country Music concert last night kilted. I've done it before, but this particular event is sort of an all day outdoor affair with booths, vendors, attractions and the like. Lots of people show up and hang out all day before going into the stadium for the final acts.

    I was wearing brown lace-up cowboy boots, my chocolate brown Workmans UK, black T-shirt and black cowboy hat.

    I got more positive comments than I could count, (most were "nice legs" but some were a whole lot more suggestive), a few dozen kilt checks which I dont mind, and I posed in dozens of photos. I would bet I am in more strangers photos than anyone not on stage, and I might be in a few more than some of the smaller acts!

    It was definately a good day.

    Cowboy Celtic...

    Sorta related here, although more appropriate in the Music section, is the Canadian band:

    www.cowboyceltic.com

    One of my all-time favourite bands!

    Cheers,

    Here's an example:



    Although they are a man's boot, I don't care for them much.

    In a similar vein as "what is a kilt", I would have to say that neither of those pictured are "Cowboy Boots".

    Careful Arrogcow: in these parts people get kinda *touchy* about their boots; hats for that matter, too. I travel a good bit throughout the Rockies for work, and what passes as a "normal" boot in Texas and southern NM would be laughed out of the feed and grain store in Ronan, Montana. All I care about is the comfort, and construction (leather, short heel w/ no undercut, and room for my toes). I don't like laces (take too long to put on), but I wouldn't rule them out: the packers who wore them needed more support in the ankle for walking than the cowboys did for riding.

    Bryan...then again, you said "cowboy boots", not "western boots"...

    Not saying there's anything wrong with the boots, just questioning the "Cowboy" part.

    Real cowboy boots bear very little resemblence to what people think of as cowboy boots. My grandfather was a cowboy in his younger days and he wore a type of lace up boots. Real cowboys spent as much or more time on foot as in the saddle except during the time driving cattle which was not a huge percentage of their time. Hollywood is full of it bovine byproduct.
