The beauty of great boots is in the detail and character of color variations. Real leather looks inconsistent and worn. The embroidery stitches are rich, like the inferno red on the dark tobacco boot in the front. Or the cream, not white, embroidery on the turquoise boot in the middle.

These boots are full of drama from the cowgirl heel to the dramatic detailed shaft. Even the souls have soul.

Tan Boots

Did you know how many different styles of tan boots there are? The stitching in our three favorites above really demonstrates how the neutral color lets the personality of the boot shine. What at first glance looks like a traditional, classic boot becomes a delicately rugged accessory upon further inspection. Look at the blue inlay Corral boots on the right. They really seem to adapt to any outfit. You can see more of that pair of boots in our latest look book.

Want to know a secret?

Good boots keep your feet cool. That’s right, you can wear your cowboy boots all summer long, comfortably. Good boots are designed to work hard, and all year round, which means they have to breathe and be comfortable.

You may not wear your boots on the farm or ranch. You may wear them to to work or out to dinner, but the durability, breathability and comfort are still there for you.

So go ahead and rock your tan boots with a short cotton dress, cut off shorts or a maxi dress. Boots are the ultimate all-weather shoe!

Tell us how you wear your boots in the comments below. We love hearing from you!

According to our project manager Kristen, they were near four poisonous water moccasins and six turtles sunning themselves on a log after the storm.

Arkansas is simply gorgeous.

We love watching how our campaigns come together from concept to photo shoot, all the way to hitting “send” on an email. These projects are like sending a bird out of the nest for the first time. We watch with a little excitement, a little fear, and a big sigh of relief.

So how does it all come together? Here’s what one of these images would look like on Country Outfitter or in an email.

We’re kicking off the year at Thunder on the Mountain and would love to meet you there.

So what’s the “festival wear” look this year?

Festival Fashion

The basics: Cut-off shorts

Rock your favorite jeans all summer by turning them into the best pair of cutoffs ever. If they look good as jeans, they’ll certainly look hot as shorts.

The boots: Detailed and edgy

Corral boots are THE boots to have on the summer music festival scene. Sometimes you need to slip on a little sass to hit the dirt right.

The bag: The perfect weekender

Can you pack in just one bag? You can if it’s this huge Patricia Nash satchel. Don’t forget boots socks!

The details: Attention-grabbing belt buckle

The whole outfit looks good, but without the buckle something is missing. Here’s a great Ariat belt with a buckle built in.

We get a little excited this time of year, so do check out the other blog posts we’ve written about summer concerts and music festivals.

All the while, Richie is in the studio shooting new product pictures for the website.

Our new product imagery has been limited until now to what we could accomplish in our hacked together on-site studio. We have done our share of “boot strapping” around Country Outfitter.

Last week, though, that all changed when our new 360 degree photography system was installed. To say that our photographers are excited would be an understatement. They are giddy!

We cannot wait to show you the new images. You’ll be able to see boots in a whole new way.

Here’s a little low-tech tease of what high-tech shopping fun is to come

Stay tuned…
