I love cowboy boots and and I own about three dozen pairs. I own brands available at a chain out here on the west coast and I had never seen or heard of Anderson Bean boots. I found NRS online while searching for a blue sapphire Rodeo King hat and I bought that hat followed by two pairs of Anderson Bean boots. A pair of brandy Ostrich and a pair of black Arapaimas. I am very impressed with the style, quality and comfort of both pairs. Usually boots need some breaking in, but these were great right out of the box, without even trying them on as they came by UPS. I have already got many compliments!
