All That's Missing is The Tumbleweed...

The Company -

I learned about this retailer via the, not quite antiquated but certainly struggling, government snail mail service. They sent me a catalog, largely full of a bunch of flamboyant 80s clothing styles of the kind that I worked hard to stay away from inheriting as hand-me downs growing up. The boots though! What a nice selection and the sizes available fit our standard/promise to you to focus on boots available for a wide range of sizes, most styles are available in women's sizes up to 11.



The Boots/The Dream -

Clearly, these are not riding boots but they do evoke images of the fairytale western frontier in all its dusty but otherwise "clean" glory.

The protagonist of our story is the damsel, impeccably dressed in a velvet jacket with a cinched waist, her shirt ruffles delicately encircling her long neck and poking out from the cuffs of her sleeves. She steps confidently to the side of her loyal black horse, standing her ground firmly balanced in the tall lace-up boots that end somewhere sight unseen under her layered skirts, a maddening tease for the smirking villain who stands before her but will never have her. In these 3 1/4" heels, she may not be able to outrun him without her horse, but she stands just under 6 feet tall, starting directly into his bloodshot eyes. It is her eyes, however, that reflect genuine rage. She is full of the irrational anger of someone out for the postponed revenge of a murdered brother and has her pistol cocked and aimed at his heart before he can blink twice...STAY Tuned for more from Tehachapi Sunset: The Van Allen Saga.

There are also many other trendy and classic boot styles available from Metrostyle and nearly all seem to be available in size 11. But don't take my word for it. Have a look yourself! The lace-ups pictured here are currently selling for 44.99 on sale (originally 49.99).

Take Care,
