Alright, so I’ve been wanting to get myself a pair of cowboy boots for a while now. I finally decided to pull the trigger and start looking around. I knew I wanted something different, and I’ve always liked the look of a pointed toe, which I found out is also called a “J toe” or a “1 toe”. Sounds cool, right?
First things first, I did some quick online research and quickly learned that there are different kinds of pointed toes. Besides the J toe, there’s a D toe, which is kinda pointy but has a flat tip. There’s also an R toe, which is the most common type – it’s tapered but rounded at the tip. And then there’s the W toe, U toe, or Roper toe, which is completely round.
After thinking about it, I decided to go with the J toe. I just liked the sharp, pointy look. It seemed more unique to me.
The next challenge was figuring out my size. I’ve heard that cowboy boots fit differently than regular shoes. So, I grabbed a measuring tape and measured my foot from heel to the tip of my longest toe. Then, I looked up the sizing chart for the brand I was interested in and found my size.
Now, here’s where it got a bit tricky. I read online that boots made from reptile skin don’t stretch much. And with a pointed toe, you might need to go a size wider to make sure the ball of your foot fits comfortably without your toes feeling squished. Since I was getting J toe boots, I figured I should probably go a size wider, just to be safe.
With my size figured out, I started browsing different stores. Finally, I went to a store and I found a pair of J toe western boots that I really liked. They were a beautiful dark brown color and the leather felt really nice. I tried them on, and they fit perfectly! I made sure to walk around the store a bit to make sure they were comfortable, and they were.

Here’s what I did:
- Decided on the toe shape: I went with the J toe because I liked the sharp, pointed look.
- Measured my foot: I used a measuring tape to measure my foot from heel to toe.
- Compared to sizing chart: I used my foot measurement and the brand’s sizing chart to find my size.
