The Best Shooter Boots in the West

April 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Throughout the year thousands of western action shooters load up their guns, don late 19th century western wear, and join other devotees across the country. These old west aficionados are all participants in a sport known as western action shooting. The sport consists of a staged competition where contestants fire revolvers, rifles, and shotguns resembling those used in the Old West. Unfortunately, dressing to capture the spirit of the Old West meant standing for hours in a pair of uncomfortable boots — that is until the arrival of Fort Frontier® Range and Shooter cowboy boots.

Fort Frontier® Range and Shooter Boots are recognized by customers for their mix of Old West style and modern day comfort.
What makes these boots so special is the design team was made up of staff members, including the official Nebraska State Buffalo Bill, Terry Lane, who manages the Old West Shop at Fort Western Stores in Lincoln, NE. The staffs’ personal involvement in western action shooting and extensive knowledge of Old West history was key in constructing a comfortable, authentic cowboy boot. “Most of the participants are not cowboys by trade. They own one pair of boots, and wear them for a few hours at events, and then their feet hurt for the next two days," said Terry. With that in mind, The Fort aimed to offer western action shooters the most comfortable cowboy boots available and based on their customers’ responses, they succeeded.

“Now I was in the market for a new pair of boots and saw the Ad for The Best Shooter Boots in the West and decided to call first. Glad I did! I shoved my foot down into the BEST fitt`in boot I have ever worn! They were soft and comfortable on the inside and fit like a glove with plenty of toe wiggl`in room!” said the Salt Creek Kid on the Fort’s Customer Corral webpage.

Fort Western Stores’ Fort Frontier® boots are available in three styles. The original style is called the Nebraskan, then came the Rock Creek and the Valentine. The Valentine was designed just for ladies. Each finely detailed oiled leather boot features a work boot bed, a steel shank for support, and mule ear pulls. The boots’ elastic gore shaft allows easy leg entry and expansion up to 22 inches. The boots are also good year welted, which means you can have them resoled time and time again.

Fort Frontier® boots are available exclusively at Fort Western Stores’ retail locations and on their Website at http://www.fortwestern.com/
