Be true to your school:
NOCONA BOOTS
Rugged, fashionable cowgirl/guy kickers by the brand with"Rich Heritage, Rich Beauty"
And this is true-too.
We wore a pair of the Nocona fashion, distressed leopard, western style boots (now available)...at the most recent Outdoor Retailer trade show that ended two days ago.
As we logged about 8 miles a day, typically at a fast pace, our concern for comfort was real...but quickly abated when we put on the kickers...as the insole is actually cushion-y- with just enough arch support as to be-well-supportive...and the wear right outta of the box comfort, with no break in time needed, surprised us. Plus-the 1-1/2 inch underslung heel=thoroughly wearable.

All of which made us think about our suburban dwelling gal pals on Match.com---imo- ditch the online profiles and just get a pair of these boots.
BTW...a few women gave kudos too...and fyi, we paired with our Helmut Lang black leggings and a Walter tunic top (also black). A FUN!!!! way to bump our usual head to toe black wardrobe.
