I just love them. They are comfortable and stylish. I can walk all over the city in them--they are the perfect heel height. I have them in black, camel suede and black with green. I wish I had them in dark brown. I wear them with my True Religion and Lucky jeans, and vintage cashmere sweaters. I haven't found a 2006 boot that I like better so for now, I'll just keep wearing them! My 6 year old daughter also has a pair of Cole Haan Morgen cowboy boots and likes wearing them when I wear mine! I have 6 pairs of the Cole Haan Morgen cowboy boots from Fall 2005. I just love them.

I'm known worldwide for wearing Nike Cortez sneakers in mis-matched swoosh colors, but it's my cowboy boots that illuminate my soul. My favorite pair are from Tony Lama: elephant hide in basic black, sixteen years on the road this summer. Been through three motorcycle crashes and not a nick on 'em. Rain or shine, summmer/winter, they always hang: lookin' great, comfortable as my best friend, and bomb-proof. "Fashion"? (snicker) BTW: my next pair will be from Olathe Boots. Google 'em up.

Jean skirts look too western, prairie skirts are not my style...what is something chic that I can pair them with to show them off? Dear Manolo,

I have got the Anna Suit nude colored slouchy cowboy boots and was wondering what should I wear with them? Jean skirts look too western, prairie skirts are not my style…what is something chic that I can pair them with to show them off?

But, I am tempted for those dark brown suede-looking boots below. Joey says, there is no SEASON for wearing cowboy boots, and if you want a pair of hick heels, don’t buy them for $500.

None. None at all. However, the link provided by the Kourtney, opening up the possibility of the lovely cowboy boots with the careful foot measurements and the pricing in the Canadian dollars, is causing the drool on the keyboard.

Though this western girl thinks it is quite comical that the shoes she wears for work and such are a major fashion trend. If they aren't dirty they are just a pair of boots.

I've lived in Texas for 25 years and have never ridden a horse once. But I have coveted many a pair of Christian Louboutin or Prada. Anyone like the lovely LaBellaDonna must come to shop at the Galleria or River Oaks. So far from the ranch, yet so close to shoe perfection. Funny.

Worn with blue-jeans (the classic kind, not the wide-bottoms or rolls): fantastic, especially when you're on the ranch, riding Western, and so forth. Worn with other kinds of pants: "Hey, here I am at the Texas Boots 'n' Black Tie Ball!" Worn with shorts: "I'm a cocktail waitress in Oklahoma City." Worn with cowgirl clothes at a Western-theme costume party: Just great. Worn with miniskirts, sundresses, etc.: Beats miniskirts with Uggs, and will look fine on the young and gorgeous for its fifteen minutes of fashion. Worn with long peasant and pencil-slim skirts a la Tia: fantastic on some women, not so fantastic on others, such as me. Maybe it's my great height, broad shoulders, and long waist, but I need to look sleek at all times, especially in the boots department. Cowboy boots, even the chocolate suede Lucchese variety, are extremely rugged-looking and bottom-heavy. On some women, their virile look makes a nice contrast to her femininity. On me, they'd make me look like Ma Kettle clomping around in huge clodhoppers. So, while I know that Western is huge this fall, and it would be fun to own a pair of cowboy boots down the line (the tan, outdoorsy Luccheses because I'd never wear them except with Jeans), I think I can look semi-super fantastic without them. And the great thing about Manolo's blog is that all the links stay up forever! But does every super fantastic girl really need a pair of cowboy boots?

La BellaDonna, she would have thought that the boot of the cowboy, worn in Texas, would say not, "I am worn by the redneck," but "I am the suitable footgear for the sometimes dry and dusty, sometimes suprisingly muddy, often difficult terrain, and I will keep your feets from slipping out of the stirrups, should you be riding." The suitable footgear for the environment - unlike, say, the hiking flip-flop. *And La BellaDonna will be happy to take the Tia and her dainty feets shopping, should she come to Philadelphia! Hmmm.
