Innovative.
Durable rubber outsoles, and
mesh covered open-cell foam insoles make Tony Lama
kid's TLX Western workboots easy on your child's feet as
they grow, with developing bones that need room to
expand and flex. Protection
and comfort in the stirrup, and on the ground. Stirrup friendly
performance rubber outsoles are durable, flexible
and oil-resistant.
About 5 years
ago, it became accepted for children to wear
workboots as casual kids footwear. yep, to church,
to school, and to the barns. (They just followed
Daddy's footsteps.) Just clean them off and go
another round! built for performance as well as
made with comfort.
Tony Lama boots
have used their same lasting systems for a hundred
years. If you have worn TL boots before, get your
usual sizing. If not, call Cultured Cowboy and we'll
walk you through the sizing process, but generally,
go 1/2 size smaller than most dress shoe sizes.
Your Tony Lama
kid's boot should feel like a comfortable handshake
on the front of your foot. Boots slip on your heels.
They are designed to! They will not rub blisters as
they do, because they are designed with a heel
counter that allows slippage. The slipping pumps air
around your feet for more comfort. The top,
including the instep area will keep the slip on
Western boot
on your foot while you run around town. (I know
Momma told you never to get a shoe that slipped.
That's because in a shoe, the top of the heel must
cup your cuneiform bone. Western boots, with their
special design developed over centuries, are made more
forgiving & more comfy than department store shoes!)
Use
Leather Balm to condition, and a matching color
cream polish to renew color. Mink oil, or Sno Seal
the leathers right before you go into a lot of
manure, or mud. If they get really covered in muck,
you can just squirt them off with a water hose
before you tote "all that" into your
house. If wet, allow them to dry at room
temperature, then just add another coat of
conditioner.

Tony
Lama Kids Western Boots
Consider this high quality
footwear for all of your children. Especially during
the growing years, the bones of your feet will form
only as well as you allow. Lack of arch support,
cramming a growing foot in an outgrown shoe or boot
- either problem can deform foot bones permanently.
I know they might not wear these Tony Lama kids
boots out before they outgrow them. Just pass 'em
down to another youngin! Proper foot care when young
will pay tremendous dividends in all their years to
come. Cheap made shoes create all sorts of problems
years from now. And soft bottom tennis shoes,
designed for active sports, were never made to wear
all day.
Although the bottoms of
today's Tony Lama boots are much more comfortable
than 25 years ago, they still have proper arch
support, ankle support, toe room, and all the guts
that make a real "using" cowboy boot.
In fitting your children, we
fit the arch of the boot. The leather
in the arch area is tested by pinching a little
leather in the instep area. You should be able to
get a little, but not a whole handful of roll in
that leather. We try to have the widest part of a
child's foot in the widest part of the boot. The
heel will slip some as the boot needs to be broken
in through wear. Bootmakers almost always have
plenty of room in the toe. Often, if the toe is
jammed into the front of the boot, the arch area is
too loose. On a narrow foot, this can be helped by
adding an insole inside the boot. The insole can be
removed as the child's foot grows. The boot should
have a little "plop" sound as the child
pulls it on. Let your child run around on carpet and
just see if he/she can get around OK. If too big,
the child will be tripping, or run out of the boots.
If too small, they will be hard to pull on, and the
child will not want to wear them. Smashing the toe
box of a boot does very little for determining the
right size. In fact, it can damage the boot. Feel
for the arch area.
