Over 15 years ago, (I'm sometimes
not so sure which year.), I ran into Twisted X Boot
Company at the WESA trade show in Denver, Colorado. They
invited me to come in
and try on a pair or two. I did. From the first
pair, I
knew this boot company knew how to make a high tech
boot. Everything most of us need in support,
comfort, and looks were incorporated into a non
traditional performance boot. This is a better
boot at a moderate price because of the savings made
in state of the art production methods.
Seems the boot's
chief designer has built styles with both Justin and Ariat,
before making his own venture. His dream is to
combine the best of all worlds into a uniquely great
product. Once you wear a pair, you'll agree that Twisted X
Boot Company has become a leader in footwear design.
Twisted X Boots
include traditional and authentic looking cowboy
boots, western boots, and work boots. Recently they
have taken their comfort technology to casual shoes
too. The technology
inside and outside gives you a more stable, durable,
lightweight experience. It breathes as it should, to allow
dissipation of foot moisture. And the comfort factor
is one you just need to feel for yourself.
Fitting is consistent
in each boot because all last measurements are from
ball to heel. So, if you're changing toe styles,
keep your same fit. Bob Frazier and the
"Twisted X Bunch" state that they have
been at this for a long time, and that this is the
best overall boot package they have been associated
with. And, they promise to
continue searching out the newest and best
components available for your footwear.
The boots are cut generously in size. They allow
comfortable room for your arches. Until they
break-in, Twisted X boots will slip on your heels. ( In fact
they are always going to slip a little, the design
is different than a short quarter shoe, so the
slipping will not rub blisters on your heels. See
the next paragraph too.) More flexible soles
have been incorporated into the Twisted X shoes, so
you don't get rubbing there either.
Although a "cowboy
boot" is one of the first things you look for,
when dressing for cowboy events, people that wear Western dress
boots do not always wear them just to look like cowboys. The
arch support and quality craftsmanship allow us to
go all day without sore feet and aching backs or
legs. As you walk, Western style boots pump air
around your feet, which aids in dissipation of
moisture, and even more comfort for you. This is why
you do want some slippage on those heels!)
Laces on the lace up boots allow you to tighten or loosen, as your
feet may actually change sizes during the day. Feet
tend to be more swollen in early morning and late
evening. For feet that do change a lot during your
day, lacer boots are a good answer to your comfort
issues. Laces also give the most ankle
support. (Even the slip on boots have leather
and linings that allow for movement and some
swelling during your day. )
Consider this high quality
footwear for your wife & children too. The
bones of a child's foott will form only as well as you
allow. Lack of arch support, cramming a growing foot
in an outgrown shoe or boot, or even consistently
wearing way too big - either can deform
foot bones permanently. (Some growth can be allowed,
especially with a good insole added to start.
But you want to fit the arches, the metatarsals. ) Proper foot care will pay tremendous
dividends in all the years to come. Cheap made shoes
create all sorts of problems years from now. And
soft bottom tennis shoes, designed for certain active
sports, requiring maximum flex and thereby giving up
much arch support, were never made to wear all
day.
Although the bottoms of
today's Twisted X Western boots are much more comfortable than
many of 25 years ago, they still have proper arch support,
ankle support, toe room, and all the guts that make
a real cowboy boot.
