It's simple really, I bought my first pair when I began my working career in the early 70s. Virtually everyday of work living in the US and Asia, and traveling throughout the world, Justins were my everyday and every occaission shoe.

Beyond the comfort, they became one of my personal trademarks and occaissional conversation starters in odd locations.

Western style boots, or 'cowboy boots', as most like to refer to them, are a wonderful American symbol. They brand us as a free, independant and endurring people.

Feel a bit of pride every time you pull on your boots, it'll help make your day.

Since I was a young girl, growing up a half a day's drive from true Texas Cowboy country, I've wanted a pair of the exquisite Justin Cowboy boots for Ladies. Whenever my family took a road trips, there would always be country stores along the way. Often the store would be advertised on a huge billboard, with a picture of the coveted item - boots! As a girl, I begged my Mom and Dad to stop and fit me for a pair, to no avail. As a young lady, I hinted to my boyfriends what I truly wanted for Christmas - Justin boots! As a young wife, I would plead with my husband to pick me up a pair on his next business trip to Dallas. Still nothing.

Now, I'm not as young, I'm no one's girlfriend or wife, and I finally decided to ask the one who loves me best for my dream pair of Cowboy boots. I asked myself! I said, "Yes!" Me, myself and I went boot shopping.

I love my Justin boots and wear them with jeans, shorts, and dresses. I regret waiting for so long because I feel great when I'm wearing them and my kids ask, "Why are you wearing your boots, Mom?" And I always say the same thing, "Justin boots are just for fun!"

In 1996 I walked into a small feed store and noticed a stack of Justin Deerskin Ropers being sold of for $65. I knew there was no way I would find my size (11EE) but decided to look anyway. Luck was with me that day when I found that pair. They fit just perfectly. I have had them resoled three times but otherwise they look just as good as the day I bought them. It seems they get more comfortable as the years go by. Thank you Justin Boots for making such a quality product.

ps: I looked up this site because I was looking for another pair of boots. Not a replacement pair just something different.

In 1992 my wife bought me a new sport coat and it did not fit, thank goodness,I took the sport coat back and bought me my first pair of Justin cowboy boots.

I have worn boots all my life,when I met my wife in 1981 she ask me if I owend a pair of shoes because every time she seen me I was wearing boots,

I still ware my Justin boots that I bought 16 years ago to church and out on the town and I still have people ask me if they are new.

My old boots are like an old friend they never let you down.

My name is Katinka I'm a 3o years old, 10 years I ride and train western horses.I never thought is so important to have a good riding boots, I said if you are a good rider, doesnt metter in what you are riding is only about the fashion.One day my boyfriend, who also ride horses, got a pair of Justin as a gift, he tried them and from that time he love them, so I decided to buy one, becouse if he satisfied with something than it has to be good...So first I just bought a Lacers tekno crepe Justin....

I can tell you the different if I compare them with my any kind of riding boots... Justin just perfect fits in the stirrups make you sure feeling and somehow you also sit better in the saddle, the sole is soft and really comfortable so even no problem all day walking doing work around the stable.Summer when is hot outside my legs feel just great same as winter!

I know the brand 6years and I have 3pairs from that time.The first ones I still use, second ones are Smooth ostrich with tekno crepe sole an the last one is AQHA Q-crepe.I tried between many famous brands but always I came back to Justin becouse for me they are the best. My story is not so interesting but Im happy to tell people is worth to buy and own a Justin.

I purschased a pair of the Bandera Khaki Suede Hikers in 2004 for work boots. I was doing factory work at the time and standing on a concrete floor for 8-10 hours a day. These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I still wear them to this day even though I am no longer at the job I was on. I wear them just as my everyday shoe. They are wonderful!!! I am going back to purchase a second pair as I have stained my old ones some from the oil where I use to work and didn't go get them treated like I should. Just can't seem to say enough about these boots. I will also be purchasing a pair of George Strait Gruene Hall Series Cowboy Boots. The J-Flex system is like walking on air.

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE MY GEORGE STRAITS!!!

In the early 90's, it was time for me to fly the family "coop" and venture off to large barnyard known as college. What a change! Coming from a one redlight town in the Sequatchie Valley and moving to a school with a population three times that of my city was a culture shock in itself. Adjusting to dorm life and lacking the parental care like that of a newborn foal left me longing for the farm. Like sheep scattering from the rush of an eager border collie pup, my friends had all went there separate ways. But one evening while studying in my room, my eyes fixed on something I had not noticed before...my old pair of Justin boots. They stood out like a freckle on a heifer's face. Tattered around the tops and peppered with Ole' Bandit's "confetti" from his stall, they took me on a quick mental roadtrip back to a familiar place.

These boots have lived a country life that most city folks dare to dream of. They have protected my feet through the harshest conditions and carried feed to the board of directors meeting that gathered at the water trough every evening. Like a watch or a pocket knife, my Justins were something I didn't leave home without.

So when school would not allow me to venture home for the weekend, I could slip on my Justins and feel like I was already there. All I have to say is....Thanks for the memories!

About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. Not very happy about the whole situation. I was complaining to my father one day at work, I work in the industrial drilling industry and it's long hours and hard work! I told him how bad my feet hurt everyday towards the end of work! He told me to buy a pair of justin work boots. The first pair I bought I couldn't believe how comfortable they were! I am now a life long fan and where them at work and out . I am happy to say my feet no longer hurt at work thanks to your boots! I usually work 60 to 80 hours a week so I have definitely put them to the test.

Been working for a farm and ranch store in south east missouri for almost eight years now.

Took this job to pay my bills.The thought of buying a pair of boots is out of the question.

Every day i help the public find any were from mens steele toe pull ons ,womens lace ups,or a pair for the kids.I still get excited working with the boots.Just as i did first time i stepped foot in this store.Its heart warming to meet the people that buy the boots.These people dont even have to be farmers or ranchers.Alot of them are just people like myself .Waiting for my first pair of justins.

We'll i wear my boots every where and i can tell they last me atleast two year or they aint worth keeping and justin will last me two years and i work maitnance so i put them through heck so buy a pair of justins

Having lived in Texas for three years in the late 70s, both my husband and I regretted never purchasing Justin boots "like the locals wore."

Returning to the east, we often talked about purchasing a pair of western boots - but never seemed to do it. As it was nearing Christmas, we decided this would be the year we'd buy a pair of boots for each other, as our Christmas gift. With anticipation, we suited up and headed off to the local saddlery shop. Upon arrival, we started looking at the selection and noticed the wonderful boots that they made for young children. We ended up purchasing Justin western boots for our nieces and nephews, which left us no money to buy for ourselves. But that was OK - I must say that the delight on the kiddos faces on getting a pair of "cowboy" boots was well worth giving up a pair of my own (for the moment). (In fact, two of our nephews asked if we could get them a new pair this Christmas, as they have grown out of their first pair. What's ironic is that the one nephew passed his pair onto his younger brother, which he loves.) A few years passed and one day my husband came home wearing his first purchased pair of Justin boots. We were making a trip out west, and he felt he had to have a pair - which he wore day and night for three weeks straight. Upon returning home, he would wear for them dress - as he insisted on having them look their best. One day he went to put them on and realized that they had become too small, as our feet get wider as we age. One day when I needed a pair of boots he said "why don't you try my old Justin's," since my feet, too, had widened. Well, much to my surprise, with a very heavy sock they fit me quite comfortably and I've been wearing them ever since. And, like a true Texan, I wear them year round. I've had so many compliments on my "awesome" boots and when I tell people they were my husbands, they can't believe it. They are light in color and very stylish, but I use them as all-purpose boots - not just for dress. I have since bought myself a black pair of ladies Justins, but I'm still partial to his older pair. Probably because they have a history - like so many of your other wonderful stories. Thank you for creating memories.

My story is about growing up to the Sky. My mom told me that one day I would be so grown up I would be able to touch the sky and I made that my first priority as a toddler. Every day I would try different ways to reach the sky but it wasnt working. I decided to ask my dad for help. He wasnt so thrilled that I was so persistent but finally gave me answer. His boots, he said, thats the secret. So, everyday when he came home from work I would help him take off his boots while he sat in his chair to read the paper, and I would wear them to his room and put them by the bed. I remember thinking I needed my own boots because it was gonna take a long time to grow up at that rate. One day dad came home with a new pair of Justin boots, and I was so excited when he told me I could have his old ones! I wore them constantly at home and have scares to proof it. ha ha. I would throw a fit when mom wouldnt let me wear them to the market and other places we went. I thought I needed to wear them all the time just like dad. After I started school I learned, boots had nothing to do with growing, so my teacher and classmates claimed, but they had no idea! I gave up on my obbsesion shortly after. We moved from Dallas to the country when I was 12 and boy was I in for a awakining. I start shool and low and behold everyone was wearing boots! Justin was all the rage and everyone wanted them. My first pair where red, my favorite color and no one else had a pair. I was finally up where I wanted to be all my life. They were in high demand as Justin had just started marketing the new color. I remember working at my dads feed store after school to pay him back $129 for them. It was the best investment I ever made. My selfasteem was forever changed, and today I am proud to say that Justin boots was the biggest influence. Not everyone remembers what gave them motivation to grow up but I know I would not be same if wasnt for my Dad and his New pair of Justin boots!

I GOT MY FIRST PAIR JUSTIN BLACK ELLS IN 1993 THEY WERE BETTER THAN HAND MADE GLOVES,I MEAN SOFT TO TOUCH GREAT TO LOOK AT WONDERFUL TO WEAR, MY LIFE AND LOVE OF BOOTS (JUSTIN) HAS BEEN FOREVER CHANGE I LIVE IN BALTIMORE,MD MOST PEOPLE SEE ME AS STRANGE BECAUSE THAT IS ALL I WEAR AS FOOTWEAR. I HAVE TEN PAIR OVER TEN YEAR OLD AND HAVE GIVEN AWAY SIX OR SEVEN PAIR BECAUSE OF WEIGHT GAIN ON MY PART FROM (DIBETES)

I worked Cheynne Frontier Days from 1993 to 1998 while living in Colorado. In 1997 I was working a back gate that the bronc and bull riders came through. During the wild horse race the gates were closed so no one could leave the arena stand and walk through the gates and across the track where the wild horse race was going on. A paint horse jumped the railing from the track and came toward where I was at a full run. There was a truck parked about four feet from the fence and walkthrough gate. As the horse got between the fence and truck I started hitting on the truck fender as I was holding the gate open. The horse turned into the gate, and as it did planted a left front hoof on the outside edge of my left Justin Boot that had my foot in it. I closed the gate to keep the horse in the walk way run which was between the bucking bulls pen and the bronc pen with a gate on the other end that was closed. My foot was bruised and did swell some but nothing broken. The boots were scared and came through the ordeal better than my foot. Those boots are history, but the story is still alive and so are the Justin Boots I wear today.

IT WAS THE SUMMER I TURNED 14,I HAD WANTED A PAIR OF JUSTIN BOOTS FOR SO LONG AND MY MOM SAID I SHOULD WORK FOR THINGS I WANTED,SO I WENT OUT AND FOUND A COUPLE JOBS FOR THE SUMMER,BABYSITTING AND MOWING THE NEIGHBORS GRASS,IT TOOK ME TWO MONTHS BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I WENT IN THE STORE TO BUY MY FIRST PAIR OF BOOTS,I THOUGHT I WAS THE QUEEN OF THE COUNTRY!

I had just recently bought my new justin boots had never warn pull on always lace-ups. I was out in my arena riding one of my horses and all of a sudden one of my dogs ended up underneath him and he paniced the dog yelped and all of a sudden the horse fell on his side and my feet still in the sturrips underneath him. It happened so suddenly I did not have time to react. I was able to get one foot out of the sturrips but the other was underneath I was all alone. The horse panicing trying to get up I could feel the my leg was ok, but I was scarred that my foot would get stuck and I would be dragged. I felt the boot slide out and I fell free grateful that I was wearing my justin riding boots that I had just gotton a few days before. The other boots I used to wear did not slide as easy. I don't know what would of happened if I would of been wearing any thing else. I have had these boots about 1 to 2 years now and I only use them and I keep them in a boot bag as soon as I take them off they stay under my kitchen table so I always know where they are. Love em.

When I picked out my wedding dress I decided I was going to wear Justin ropers with it and have the dress cut to show the boots. So I had the dress cut below the knees in the front and circle around to the back at heel length. I looked for some white ropers for awhile and started to worry because I had a picture of them in my mind and I was having no luck finding any. We had not lived in Fort Worth very long so I really did not know of anyone that could make them for me.

My future hubby and I decided to go to the Justin store in Fort Worth and have a look around. I explaind to the salesperson that I wanted a pair of high top white ropers to wear with my wedding dress. He went to the back of the store and came out with the very boots that I had pictured in my mind and they were a perfect fit!!!! Come to find out they were custom ordered and the lady that ordered them decided she didn't want them. Needless to say we bought the boots then and there and I did not even care how much they were going to cost me, but turns out they were very resonable.

After 18 years I still have those boots in my closet and I probably always will even though they are worn and scuffed. I wore them all the time when my husband and I would go out dancing. I believe that things happen for a reason and those boots were meant to go with my wedding dress to marry the love of my life.

I purchased my first pair of Justin Boots a little over a year ago. They are a pair of gypsies. In the short year I have had them they have kept my footing while training my horses, been on the Florida cracker trail ride which is a week long ride. They are so comfortable that on that ride I would sleep in them while in the tent to keep my feet warm, and I never once had sore feet while the constant activity on the ride. Anytime I put take those boots off my feet are never sore. I will never buy another brand of boots after owning my Justin's. They are truly the best pair of boots I have owned, and plane to keep them even when I need to have them resoled.

I was in a car accident when I was 19yrs and went from Michigan to Texas. I stayed with my brother during recovery and entertained his children playing my flute in the park. I was rewarded with a trip to the boot store in Fort Worth. I got a pair of denim boots. I loved them. I got riding clothes to match my boots and a grey cowgirl hat. I went home after a year and went in the Army. While I was in the service my boots went missing. I am still looking for another pair. They were so awesome. someday, my boots will come.

We were on our way to Texas to visit my grandfather' homestead area in Denton when I announced to my wife that I was going to buy a pair of Justins in Texas where I would get a great selection. In Fort Worth we inquired about where we would find a good selection of Justin boots and were directed to the Boot Barn. Sure enough, I found exactly what I wanted in a beautiful pair made with bull-hip leather. Upon arriving back home in Santa Maria, CA, I found the identical pair in our local Boot Barn! 2,000 miles, a long way to go for boots, but they are worth it!

my wife and I are very active in square dancing and with out my Justins I don't think I could keep dancing. I have owned Justins for several years and they feel great after a night of dancing.

I have been working for around 35 years now in all that time i have had to wear boots of some sort or other,i am a chef by trade so good fitting ,safe and comfortable boots are a necessity,i have tried many names of boots including Harley Davidson's,untill just recently i bought a pair of justin roper boots,they are the best boots i have ever worn comfortable,safe because of the rubber sole and a really good plus is they look great,they are really the best thing since sliced bread,thank you very much.

My first pair of Justin Boots, were bought for me when I was 3 years old by my grandpa. I have the very picture of me trying to put them on. Usually when I outgrew my boots, I got a new pair for Christmas. I was a bit of a tomboy, loved horses and cows and my dream was to be a barrell racer, but my most memorable pair of boots were the ones I got for my first year of Kindergarten. I loved these boots, wanted to wear them everyday. There is a funny part to the story of these boots. My elementary school was a very long building, and this was in 1973. The bathrooms in the building were all the way at the far end of where the kindergarten class was. So, when I had to go to the restroom, and the halls were empty, every class could hear me walking down the hall in my boots. Clomp, Clomp, Clomp, it just echoed through the halls. A friend of mine who I went to school with, we were visiting one day and talking about when we were in school and she told me, I always knew when you were in the hall during classes, because I could hear you walking in your boots. She said everyone knew it was me and they got a great laugh. I loved those boots. I've bought all 3 of my girls Justin boots, my latest pair are George Strait Justins ropers, they are great but I think the Kindergarten year boots have the best story. Everyone knew my Clomp!

I tell everyone about the Rubber Sole Boots because they won't roll over like other boots....which means they last a long time for the money.

The Work Boots with WorkTek rubber and waterproof outside are great! So comfortable!! I recommend them to everybody when they are looking for work boots. Go check out the new Camo ones!

As a young girl, having the name “Justin,” just made me the brunt of many jokes. “That’s a BOY’s name!” was the playground chant. But as I got older, I realized how unique it is and started to embrace its distinction. Through my teen years, Justin Boots became my “mascot.” I learned to sign my name like the logo. When people questioned my name saying, “Was that Jessica?” or “Justine?” I’d say, “No, Justin, like the boots.” For my 16th birthday, my grandmother knew how much I wanted a pair and took me to Cavender’s Boot City. After much deliberation, I picked a pair of classic black leather pointy toed Justin’s. That pair has lasted me 14 years, and I wear them with pride. My grandmother’s health is failing now, but the gift she gave me is one that I’ll always remember, and I’ll keep my first pair of Justin’s even when they’re worn and old. I don’t always sign my name like the logo anymore, and, during my 20’s I dropped the boot comparison and started correcting people differently when they misunderstood my name, saying “Justin, like a boy.” But the other day, when a stranger asked my name, and I said “Justin,” he replied, “Oh… like the boots!” I smiled back and said, “Yes, like the boots.”
