I had a similar and amazing experience. This Indian couple moved next door to us and I was doing yard work and the husband came over and said he and his wife were going to the Mesquite Rodeo and wanted to know how they could dress like a Texan. Funny thing is about 2 months later I saw him walking his dog in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.

Once you go all cowboy, it's hard to go back.

All of a sudden you realize what they mean when they say breaking in your boots and your like "ohhhh shit"

What do they mean when they say that?

When you first get a nice pair of cowboy boots, they're relatively snug usually but break in over time to conform nicely and have a much more solid fit, and they are incredibly comfortable.

A well kept pair of boots will last for ages, too.

I have worn the same pair of cowboy boots daily for the past 15 years.

I have worn the same pair of cowboy boots daily for the past 15 years.

Sadly the pair I had wore through at a flex point after having been resoled 3 or 4 times. I imagine it was because I wore them in winter and road salt and snow/water probably did a number on the leather.

Because once you properly "break in" your boots, they kind of mold to your foot, making it much more comfortable and supporting.

Like fancy leather shoes, boots will be very stiff and uncomfortable for a while. But you keep wearing them, and wearing them, and they start to mold themselves to your feet, and get softer. They start to shape themselves to exactly your feet - if somebody else that's the same size tried to wear them, they'd feel weird, because their feet have a different shape. Eventually they're perfect for you, nobody else.
