Cowboy Boots-How Many Is Too Many??

I have recently become obsessed with cowboy boots. Born and raised in Southeast Texas you would've assumed that it would've happened earlier, but at the ripe old age of 44 I am now the owner of 6 pair of cowboy boots.

I found this red pair last year at Cole's in Warrenton Texas, I paid $40, which is a steal considering they were Justin Boots, who by the way have been making boots in Fort Worth since 1879. When I tried them on my foot squealed in delight, the inside of this boot is like heaven. I wore these boots for 2 solid days of junk-n and antique-n in the country with only a small tiny blister on my little toe.

Now these boots are the most adorable things I have ever seen, the red inlay hearts are to die for!! I think they must be official "riding" boots because they are so tall. Probably made for a Rodeo Queen! These are also Justin that my Mom found at a Goodwill, I won't tell you how much she paid for them because it will make you sick. Luckily I wear a 5 1/2. They also fit like a glove but rub a little on the ankle, but I think I can fix that with some thick socks and maybe a pad of some sort

Here is the lot. The brown pair that is not pictured are a little too big and uncomfortable, I am going to give them back to Mom. The Zebra pair are actually rubber boots that I have yet to wear, but I just know that I will need them someday. The gray pair with black toes were purchased in Round Top a few years back, they are a little tight, but I still wear them anyway!!The black pair I bought in 1990 at Margo's, they are practically worn out!! The heel is worn down thin..........but I heart them!!

I'm thinking that during Antiques Week in Warrenton in the Spring I will be looking for a brown pair of Justins!! Don't you think?? How could one more pair hurt??
