Wendi Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My son and I started taking horseback riding lessons, not long ago, and we're really enjoying it. :001_smile: However, I think we both could use cowboy boots. Sneakers are not cutting it; they are so flexible and have no heel to help keep your foot in the stirrup. Any ideas where we could find something at a good price? In the meantime, I will try my hiking boots; they don't have a heel, but at least they are stiffer. It is pretty hard to post in Converse; I don't recommend it! :001_huh: Thanks, Wendi P.S. Horse people, be nice to me. I'm a beginner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Um, Target? I don't know about boys' selections, but our Target has different styles - from dressier to a Frye style harness boot - for women, including riding boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 we found a pair for my son several years ago at a Famous Footwear....they do have an online store. But that is a hard one and we live in cowboy country, so that might make a difference too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myra Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Tractor Supply Store or a similar "feed" store can carry cowboy boots. Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Unless you are in the west and can find them cheap and easy, I wouldn't bother with "cowboy boots." You need footwear with a heel and a closed toe, and if the weather is hot where you're riding, the footwear doesn't have to go up as high as cowboy boots. I found leather ankle high boots for summer wear, and I have riding rubber boots for the other seasons, but lots of riders wear leather winter ankle high boots with a heel. I found the traditional cowboy boots incredibly uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Look for a tractor, feed, or western wear store in your area. Pray to find them on clearance, because they can be pricey. The good news is that they're very well made and can last for years, even if you wear them every day. Get plain ones - ostentatious ones might trigger some teasing.

Wendi Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 We do live in cowboy country (AZ), so I am planning to check the local western stores to see if they have any good clearance deals or something, but I just thought I'd ask if there's an online place with good deals. I can't spend $$$ right now. Our teacher is going to let ds try a pair of her dad's next week during his lesson. I will probably wear my hiking boots; no heel, but at least they're stiffer than sneakers! I don't have time to shop locally until next week; the musical I'm in opens on Thursday, so this week is nuts. Thanks! Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsaggie Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My girls love cowboy boots. I bought them brand new one time. So now I always buy them at a thrift store. Boot Barn is just too stinkin expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their prices are reasonable, and they have a large selection. There is one at Thunderbird & I17. Not sure of any other locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest florinaonline Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Best place to buy inexpensive cowboy boots is Boot Barn. But on there store you didn't get any discounts or coupons. There are many site which have boot barn coupons see ShoppingSpout there are too many boot barn coupons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Goodwill will have them used. I've bought several pairs there that made my kids very happy riders. Farm and Fleet is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscampbell1979 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 If you keep an eye on Zulily.com they actually have Justin's for kids for just $25 though the sale for them just ended so i don't know when they will have them again. That's a GREAT price though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
