How do you walk in cowboy boots?

Answer 1

All you have to do is soak them in the trough or perhaps your bathtun before you go out in the morning. You can be wearing them while they soak or not. It should not take more than just a couple minutes of soaking. Don't actually get water inside them, that will probably ruin the inside and make them uncomfortable (depending upon the boots). While they are submerged past the ankle part at least, if you are not wearing them, push outward from the inside on the places that might rub you the worst. For me it was right at the ankles. Bend them around a bit into the shape you want them. Once you have let each boot soak for just a couple of minutes put them on (unless they are already on, then just keep them on). Roll your foot around in them a while to try and streach them and mold them to your feet. Wear them around for a few hours at least. After that, you can either take them off or continue to wear them while you work.

Note: You may need to do this more than once. Just soak em a little each morning befoer you head out in them and put them on while they are still wet. If your boots are not water proof (not every western boot is water proof), you are going to have to do one of two things: deal with the water (wear thick socks), or deal with the pain of wearing boots that are not molded to your feet. You should be able to take em off and let em dry after a couple of hours anyway.

or you can walk them puddles of water

first of all you should not buy any boot that is not ALL-LEATHER. Meaning every part is leather, including insoles and shanks. Once you have bought a good boot, soak them in a tub of warm water for 30 minutes make sure the entire foot of the boot is soaked then strap on a thick pair of socks and wear them for a solid 10-12 hours. Or pour a cup of water down inside your boots strap them on and wear them until dry, and they will be perfect.

Don't fight the effect of the heel - go with it. Slow down, and take the swagger in your stride.
