Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
There's many different types of boots. Motorcycle, work, hiking, dress and cowboy boots. I've probably left out a few styles. If you mean traditional cowboy boots do some research online, YouTube might have videos on different cowboy styles. I finally got cowboy boots about eight years ago and I tried on boots for months. Ariat and Justin are probably the most popular brands and less expensive. My daughter only has Ariat boots. I can't wear either of those brands. Cowboy boots can have pointed or squared toes. For me squared toe is more comfortable and a very low heal. They come in several different heal heights also. I probably tried on over fifty different styles when in Texas. I ended up with Corrall brand. They were made in Mexico when I got them. Not sure if they are still there. They have more bling but I bought them for comfort. If you can get to a local boot store they can stretch the toe and leg for a better fit. The hardest thing to get used to is the heel slip. It's functional for real cowboys I believe it has something to do with heel in stirrup. I wish I had known all this when I was searching. Many western stores had free shipping and returns years ago. I'm not sure about now. If you are looking cowboy:
