We have a new puppy and my mother went a little insane and was pounding his food into smaller pieces instead of just adding water to it. I let her know it's 3am in the morning and the pup can sleep another 3 hours. She had no idea it was so early. I'm also up because my lower back and vicadon apparently wakes me up after 5 hours of sleep.
Okay so I had to get that out of my system. The real post begins now...
Gentlemen this post is for you. My male BFF use to be ultra skinny in high school and college. Plus he had a short inseam so that made it tough for him to find men's jeans. So one day he tried on his sister's jeans. Well he found that those suckers fit him better. Jerk fit in a size 0 jean.
I tell you that story because riding boots really don't have a gender. The only difference btw the ladies and men's tall boots is usually the cut is a little more generous. I say usually because sometimes there is no real difference between the two in relation to calf size. I had looked at a few men's boots when I was searching for a tall boot because my calf is nice and wide. I think in some brands the calf was maybe 1/2" or 1" bigger not a real difference.
Usually the huge difference is the height of the boot.
So wisdom of the day: Don't let the tag ladies discourage you from getting a nice pair of boots. Ladies sizes generally come in more options. So if you do have a bigger calf and are tall you can probably find a boot.
Now if it comes without a freaking zipper is another issue.
This was immensely helpful and it was a question I was reluctant to ask. There are many more options for ladies boots and they really didn't look very different but it's nice to have confirmation. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem. The only other issue you'll have to find is foot size. I forgot about that when I originally wrote the article.
