Many people love the western look as it harks back to a more rugged era. The idea of the wild and independent cowboy who spent his life out on the range herding cattle and battling the elements has a very romantic image in today's industrial world. Sadly the reality was not as much fun, but the style of outdoor clothing has never lost its appeal.

One of the best places to shop is on line. There are many companies that stock and distribute the entire range of cowboy clothing. This ranges from hats to shirts, jeans to foot wear. It is especially important for those new to the look to see their options. Without looking around they are simply unaware of the vast number of choices and different colors, styles and even toe designs.

One feature of the cowboy boot is the type of toe. Most people think of the classic pointed toe, but there are also blocked and snip toe pairs available. The snip toe is simply a flattened end to the boot. It is a good idea to go to a local retailer and try on a few pairs to see which is the most comfortable.

There should be a well stocked tack store in every area. The staff are very experienced and more than willing to help. They can give the new customer a few tips and pointers about what is the best pair for their particular needs. Some people love the highly decorated look, with lots of tooling, embroidery and even some suede in a contrasting color. Others are looking for something a little more subtle in a plain black or brown with minimal tooling and a low heel.

Many western riders own many different pairs of boots. They need a good sturdy pair for everyday riding and barn chores. If the participate in horse shows they will also need one or two additional pairs to keep just for the show ring. Each discipline has its own dress code and turn out.

The classic black or brown boot is still as popular today as it has ever been. Companies such as Justin, Ariat and Dan Post produce many wonderful pairs with various degrees of stitching and tooling. A new rider may just want a basic pair that will work for both practice and showing, until they decide that riding is their chosen sport.
