Looked at Shepler's big selection but the only boot's that I really liked that fit were Chinese made. So I went to Langston boots in the stockyards and the same situation. My son went to Doc's right behind the Langston on store on the recommendation from a clerk. My son wasn't finding what he wanted either. He found a pair of hand made calavary boots that fit him perfect. We got back to the hotel and tried his boots on. They were very comfortable and a very nice boot for the price $159.99. So the next day I went and found a perfect (for me $179.99 same price as the Chinese boots) pair of handmade on the premises cowboy boots. The best part was having Doc explain how boots should fit and what happens to boots as far as fitting over time and care for the boot's. What oils to use on different type of boots. The knowledge that you don't get at Big stores like Sheplers or Langstons. I know because my wife bought boots from them. Both big store's had good service just not the knowledge and experience of a cobbler.
