True Texan or imposter?

Those are Mexican elf boots. Every time that walk. They stab themselves in the nuts.

Y'all are lucky you can wear boots. When I was a kid my grandpa would buy me a pair of boots every summer. Grandpa was a polled Hereford guy. They were the big thing in Idaho at the time. Grandpa was a big half Swede, half Irish guy. He missed out on WW I due to having gotten tetanus in his right index finger when he was 10. He was stringing barbed wire and got cut. His right index finger was frozen straight out and bent to the left.

Anyway he'd buy me a nice pair of boots every summer which I'd wear till they didn't fit. Wore boots all through high school, wore boots up till about '95 when my feet got so wide I couldn't find any that would fit that I could afford. I wear a 13 EEEE with a very wide toe area and narrow heels.

So it's New Balance shoes or Keen sandals for me now.

At least they won’t be driving in those...

I'm a little surprised at the level of technical boot knowledge here. I mean, there's some analyzing of minute details and a general conversation around the vagaries and variations of some not widely known boot features and history.

Not real surprised, though as this is Texas Gun Talk.

He picked up a smoking hot girl who flew in and left with her

Probably his hair dresser

There hasn't been a single day since the third grade of elementary school. I haven't had a pair of boots.

Hats too. I currently have two straw hats. Wide brim and low crown. I've had plenty of felt hats. Black and silver. Cheap and crazy expensive.

This reminded me of a little bumper (fender?) sticker I had on my Ironhead...

"It used to be about the motorcycles,
now it's just a fuckin' fashion show"

Y'all sound like a bunch of hens clucking about shoes.

Hard to say without seeing his tattoos.

The naïve side of me wants desperately to believe that this is made for YouTube, i.e., not real.

As a young guy I worked cattle ranches and later worked on two dairy farms as a haying hand among other work.

Not once did I wear western duds.

Why not?

Wearing the style of clothing harkening from more than a century ago I think looks as ridiculous as wearing a pirate costume complete with a wooden peg-leg, a hand hook and a parrot on one shoulder.

Looking like a western all decked out drugstore cowboy as a claim on Texas culture is laughable. Most especially if you wear one of those western hats that vaguely remind me of a sailing ship.

Vasque Sundowner laced hikers and a baseball cap is about as western as I get and I've lived here all my life.

But to be truthful -you haven't seen me in my pirate outfit - or you'd have a different outlook.

"I think I've been hiding myself, for a while"

"you found yourself at the Harley store"

If that's not made for Youtube, that is the very definition of poser.

BRD@66 - Thanks for my outburst of laughter!

It's good for the soul!!
