Lucchese Boot Company announced through its vendors that its prices were going up dramatically on March 1. Many vendors sent out last-minute appeals for sales before the price increase took effect.
I had my eye on a particular pair of Lucchese boots, so I inquired via a reputable vendor what the cost would be to buy them with some minor customizations.
The reply startled me.

Sheezy peezy, this stuff never stops. But let me advise, first, the word “can” as in “can I wear cowboy boots with a suit” is asking for permission. Like, “please, mommy, can I, can I huh?”
Directly from my statistical analyzer, here are the latest “can” questions that have directed visitors to my website or this blog:

Now becoming a weekly series, here are the boots that I wore to work this week, which continue to follow my self-promise to wear each pair of boots in my collection without repeating any of them, for the duration of the line of boots that both fit me and fit my work environment. (For example, I can’t wear muddy engineer boots to work in an office.)
I wear cowboy boots when I drive my four-wheeled vehicle in cold but dry weather, and motorcycle boots with soles that provide better traction on slick pavement when I drive my truck in wet and cold weather — and of course when I ride my Harley which hasn’t been much lately as the weather has been uncooperative.
So here are the boots I wore to work this past week:

As most visitors to this blog and my website know, I own a lot of cowboy boots and motorcycle boots. As of today, I own 200 pairs of boots. Yep, that is quite a few. I made a pledge to myself to wear a different pair of boots each day so that I wear every pair of boots I own (and that still fit me). If it works out right, I will wear a different pair of boots each day for over six months.
For the last two weeks, here are photos of each pair of boots that I wore to work. Note, I change boots when I get home from work, and wear different boots on weekends, so what you see below are only the boots that I wore Monday through Friday in my office. (These are photos from my photo collection. I did not have time to take actual photos of each pair of boots every day):

Someone sent me a question recently, asking, “What’s a decent cowboy boot company similar to Chippewa [for motorcycle boots]. Not too expensive but good quality? Do you have an article about that?”
I searched this blog, and was astounded that while I have written often about cowboy boots, I did not have one article to address that question — until now. Most guys, especially those who do not wear boots often or are new to boots would consider boots that do not attract much attention — subdued colors, regular walking heels, round or less pointed toes. They just want a pair of plain old, decent, and affordable boots to wear.
What are my suggestions for cowboy boots that are decent and affordable today?

I have been enjoying opportunities to break out and wear some of my newer cowboy boots to work in my new-old-new-but-old office. (It is hard to explain, but let’s say that over the past 25 years, I have worked in the same building for different employers but in about the same space. The old place and colleagues have not changed, but my boots have!)
First day back, I wore…

It never ceases to amaze me and cause a laugh when I see searches with questions like, “are boot cut jeans meant to be worn inside or outside the boots?”
And leave it to google to direct the person asking that question to the most frequently visited page on my website, “Wearing Cowboy Boots”.
So, what about those boot cut jeans?

Someone wrote to me recently asking about Laredo Tunica cowboy boots. These boots are made under the Laredo name by the company that makes Dan Post Boots, McRae Industries. (More info here). His question was, “it states “leather-like shaft”. What does that mean? Is the boot shaft 100% leather or only synthetic leather?”
Here is an example of a description of another pair of Laredo boots. I found this description on a boot/shoe aggregator/retailer’s website: Leather foot with lizard print bucklaced wingtip and a thirteen inch leather-like shaft.
What would I do if I saw this? Answer…
