| I have developed a bunion and my boots are all really uncomfortable now, except for my roper horseshoe lace ups... Does anyone know of a brand that is comfortable for bunions? It's hard to find wide women's boots. |

| Don't have a bunion but have several bone chips in the joint of my big toe. I have to have wider boots. (I have a hard time wearing shoes). I wear Justin Gypsy boots. I used to wear an 8 but tried an 8.5 which works great. |

Location: newalla,Ok. | I'm having the same problems! The most comfortable boots that I can wear r Justin's smooth ostrich, the skin is soft and doesn't press on the bunion as bad. I also had to go to a c width.. good luck, I'm thinking it is time for foot surgery.....

| I have bunions. I have 2 pair of Twisted X (C width in women's' and a youth size 5.5) and a pair of Boutet that fit. The Boulet pair is about a size and a half too big but they are comfortable. The Twisted X is, too. I tried a pair of Corral's on and oh, they felt good! But they were too expensive for me at that time. I do wish I had bought them. |

I second the Justin Gypsy boots, and I do have a darn bunion on my left foot. Love the Gypsy's.  |

My dad has 2 pair of those (for men of course, LOL) and he has a bunion on his left foot and he finds them EXTREMELY comfortable! Personally I find the Justin Gypsy's comfortable...I don't have a bunion, but I do have wide feet. I wear them all the time I like them that much. |

LOL. glad that your dad is wearing the mens...I love wearing my Gypsy's too, but they are mostly my go to town boots when my Ariats get pretty worn looking and time to get a new pair, but my Ariat terrains are my very favorites for all day wearing and working around the horses..I pretty much live in them.. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'll second the Ariat All Terrains...They are comfortable. I ended up with different styles of Twited X boots that for my wide feet, are even more comfortable. |

I have wide feet and I've always had good look with these riding/tennis shoe type boots.
Roper Ladies Horseshoe Kiltie Boot
State Line Tack has them on sale right now for under $79.00.

| I love Twisted X and bought two pair of the wide toed pull on boots (like a romeo) but sadly they stopped making that style. I typically wear a 9 ladies size but I ride in a man's size 7 or 7.5 C width Ariat pull on roper. Sloppy so my foot will come out if I ever get in a bind but comfortable. |

I also loved that boots. Why do companies quit making products that work? I haven't been real fond of their newer styles as it's hard to find ones that work but when they do...they are awesome! |

Location: SW North Dakota | I had bunion surgery on my right foot 2 years ago. Boulets and Twisted X were about all I could stand before that. I had a pair of leather soled Ariats with a wide toe box that seemed like a good idea, but those were the worst!! Since the surgery, I wear them and they are fine. Although the surgery was SUPER PAINFUL for a week or so, Im really glad I had it done. It was worth it!!  |

| When is the last time you had your foot measured to see what size, width and arch support you needed??
or better yet ... go see Al Bundy to buy your shoes ...

I will third this! I won't be making my annual pilgrimage to the NFR trade shows this year to bawl out the Twisted X team, and I am quite upset about it. How they could take a comfortable well quality "horseman's" boot and turn it into what they have is unbelievable to me. Last year they told me their boot sales were down and they were probably going to just focus on the moccasins in the future. I could fix their problem in 5 minutes. Bad, bad, bad marketing. |

Twisted X makes a number of different square toe boots. The rep was at our store a month ago and I looked at the new styles. Nothing was said about focusing on the moc's. |

Thank goodness! Hoping something catches my eye in their new styles.

Two of my favorite new styles is a multi-brown patchwork with a square toe and a block heal and theres a boot with a blue/tan woven foot with a block heal and square toe.  |
