Default Cowboy Boots??

Hey guys, just was wondering how many of you ware cowboy boots when you ride? I have a really nice pair, but I would need to add a non slip sole. I was just wondering protection wise for your ankles and if they keep your feet warm or cold when riding?

Nothing but.


Best bet is have your local shoe repair guy do
a 1/2 sole in neoprene w/non-slip.

Ariat(spell chk) makes great boots that come w/rubber soles.
Most comfortable boots I've ever owned (20 + pairs over the yrs
of Justin's, Tony Lama's, Dan Post etc)

Tony Lama Ostrich. Had the original leather soles on and stopped in McCall Idaho a couple years back and had rubbed a hole in the bottom of my left boot the size of a silver dollar. Had to buy some redwings to finish the trip and got new rubber soles when we got home and they work great now.

Have a pair of H&H, made in Reading, Pa., America. They are ranch work boots; good sole and over the years have taken a few rocks and wood from the highway that would have stung if I didn't have the high leather. Keep me cool in summer and warm enough in cool weather.

I have a couple of pairs from Double H. They have several models with rubber soles. Mine are comfy, inexpensive and durable.

As for hot/cold...I wear them in both summer and winter and am pretty comfortable. My winter boots are a size larger to accommodate an additional pair of heavy socks.

Ankle protection? Nothing to write home about.

Long as you add rubber soles they're great.
