Today I want to talk about kids cowboy boots and where you can find the best boots out there. Finding boots for your little boy or girl can be a challenge. They need to have a great fit so that they can wear them all day. They also need a little wiggle room as they grow, and of course, they need to be rugged and tough as your boy or absolutely adorable like your little girl! That isn’t a small order at all. Kids cowboy boots are perfect because they are a mix of fashion and function. Make sure to take the time with your child and see some things they like in cowboy boots. An easy way to do this is just to browse some pictures online like you are doing now. This way they are involved in the process, and excited about maybe getting their very first pair of cowboy boots!
I didn’t grow up in Texas or Montana. Not even in Georgia or South Carolina. I didn’t live in an area that you would consider “country”. I like to consider my self mid-western if anything. Now, with that being said, nobody in my family ever wore cowboy hats or anything like that. No cowboy boots boys or for the boys so to speak. We were pretty much salt of the earth plain old vanilla Midwestern dressing people. Nothing crazy, nothing really special, typical jeans and some kind of t-shirt (usually with a sports team logo) or some kind of plaid or flannel shirt in the colder months. The more I think about it, us mid westerners really didn’t like to stand out back in the day as I was growing up in the flat featureless plains of Indiana.

But there is one thing I do remember having as a little boy in the Hoosier state, and that one thing was a pair of cowboy boots. I couldn’t tell you why I had a pair. I’m sure I begged my parents for them constantly. Birthday or Christmas gift or something. I’m pretty sure of this just because I do remember the frequency that I wore them. Pretty much all the time. When you’re a little boy and you wear the same item constantly, that a pretty good sign it’s definitely one of your favorite items.
My youth cowboy boots when I was a kid were brown. Looking back on them as an adult, I would say there was nothing really special about them. No crazy designs. They weren’t snakeskin cowboy boots or anything. They were just a pair of boots that looked like they would be worn by a ranch hand in an episode of Bonanza. But guess what? They were my cowboy boots and when I wore them, I was practically a real life cowboy. They not only gave you that distinctive look, they also felt completely different from wearing a boring ole’ pair of sneakers. I was practically a mini John Wayne! They were awesome!
With that being said, I have put together some of the best kid’s cowboy boots for your little man and little girl that I could find. These are proven quality boots that will last them through thick and thin. Enjoy! First listed are kids cowboy boots for the boys:

Tips For The Perfect Fit – The Struggle Is Real
As a parent, fitting your kids for footwear can always be a little challenging. You want to make sure they fit, but at the same time leave some room for growth so you don’t have to buy them a new pair in a couple of months. Trust me, I understand this perfectly. Yes, when thinking about fitting my youngster for shoes, it does instill the slightest sense of fear into me. Kids are impatient and I really can’t tell if they are telling me the shoes are comfortable because they are comfortable, or they just want to get the heck out of there. For some reason, kids cowboy boots instilled the fear times five! I’m not sure exactly why, I guess it’s just because they just seem to be “more shoe” or bigger or something. I figured it was gonna be allot harder than it was. Truth be told, it’s pretty much the same thing. I’ve left a helpful little guide below that should help you make the process as painless as possible. Let me know if you have any added suggestions in the comment section below.
1. Start by putting your fingers in the bootstraps and pulling outward to make the boot’s opening wider. Then let them slide their foot into the boot using their body weight. The boot should definitely be snug and a little challenging to put them on the first time. If the boot goes on too easy, then they are too big. A boot that fits like that is likely to flop off their feet.
2. Repeat this process for both feet as each boot, especially handmade boots. Each individual boot can fit a bit differently. When you hear a light thump as their foot gets into the boot, you know you’ve found the right boot size.
3. Talk to your child. Show them the widest part of the boot which is right in front of the arch in the boot. Ask if it feels tight or uncomfortable. That should be the most comfortable part of the cowboy boot, so if it’s not try another pair. Squeeze the toe of the boot. Make sure that there is at least a half an inch to a full inch of space between your child’s toes and the boot’s end.
it’s also important to explain to them all about breaking in a boot. Telling them that they may feel a little stiff now, but will get more comfortable should help when deciding which boots to get them. Remember this is true for many boots you can by. They all need a little time to get more comfortable, and once they do you’ll never want to take them off. If you follow these easy steps, you’ll be well on your way to find some awesome kids cowboy boots for your child.
