My birthday is coming up in a couple of days. I told Pat I'd like some cowboy boots for my present, since I don't own a pair. I think that's kind of pathetic. I've lived in Colorado for over 30 years. At some point it becomes a moral imperative to own a piece of western wear if you live here. Don't get me wrong, I've owned cowboy boots in the past, and somewhere in a closet I've got a rumpled old cowboy hat.
The place to buy western wear in Colorado Springs is Lorig's, which has been around for generations. A couple of years ago they moved to a new location near my house. Handy! I've never been in Lorig's before. I was so impressed. They had the most amazing selection of beautiful boots. I fell in love with all of them! I tried on many pairs, but unfortunately I do not have the kind of feet that take kindly to cowboy boots (a little wide, and a very high instep -- cowboy boots just absolutely kill me), so I did not walk out of Lorig's with a pair. Sigh. But it sure was fun trying them on!

Hi Tamara - I found your site while searching Colorado Recycling. It looks like a lot of fun - every day a new photo.
And, I thought it was funny when you mentioned your feet not taking kindly to cowboy boots. I mean really - do anyones'? Those narrow pointy boots. I have a pair I love to wear - but sometimes I wonder when Dansko is going to come out with a pair of cowboy boot clogs.

I totally agree Jennifer! I think people with narrow feet fare much better. Unfortunately I have fat feet. * sigh * Now if Dansko ever came out with cowboy boots I'd be all over it!
