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"...
