Dan Post Boots makes western boots: classic cowboy boots, fashion western styles for women, exotic-leather boots and western work boots. The same boot company is also behind the Laredo and Dingo labels, but the Dan Post Boots site centres on the Dan Post line itself.
Cowboy boots fit differently from ordinary shoes, and a boot bought online is only a bargain if it fits. A good Dan Post Boots order comes down to sizing, toe and heel choice, and the leather.
How a western boot should fit
A cowboy boot has no laces, so it holds the foot at the instep and heel. When you first pull on a new pair of Dan Post Boots, you should feel a snug grip over the top of the foot and a small amount of heel slip, roughly a quarter to half an inch. That slip reduces as the sole flexes and the leather breaks in.
No heel slip at all usually means the boot is too short or too tight. Lots of slip means it is too big. The toes should have room to wiggle; the ball of the foot should sit at the widest part of the boot.
Dan Post Boots are sold in US sizes with width options on many styles. Men's boots commonly come in D (regular) and EE (wide); women's in B and sometimes wider. Check the Dan Post Boots size guide for the specific boot, as fit varies between styles and toe shapes.
Toe shapes and heels
The toe changes both the look and the fit. Round and broad square toes give the most room and suit all-day wear and work. Snip and pointed toes are the dressier, traditional look but feel tighter at the front; some people size up a half for them.
Heels matter too. A taller, angled riding heel is made for stirrups. A lower, flatter roper or walking heel is easier on hard ground and pavement. For a first pair of Dan Post Boots worn mostly off the horse, a broad square toe and a lower heel are the comfortable choice.
Leathers, including exotics
Dan Post Boots come in cowhide, suede and a range of exotic skins such as ostrich, caiman, python and lizard, depending on the season. Cowhide is the durable, easy-care all-rounder. Suede is soft and casual but marks easily in wet weather.
Exotic Dan Post Boots cost more and each skin behaves differently. Full-quill ostrich is soft and flexible; caiman belly is stiffer and glossier. Some exotic skins face shipping restrictions to certain states or countries, so check the product page for any restriction before ordering.
Condition leather boots regularly with a product suited to the skin, and use a cleaner made for exotics on exotic pairs. Keep them away from direct heat when drying.
Work boots
Dan Post Boots also makes western work boots with safety features. Look for composite or steel toe caps, waterproof membranes, slip-resistant or oil-resistant soles, and electrical hazard ratings if your job requires them. Check that the rating listed on the Dan Post Boots product page matches your workplace standard.
Pull-on work boots are quick to get on; lace-up western work boots give more ankle support over a long shift.
Returns and breaking in
Try new Dan Post Boots on carpet at home before wearing them out. Worn soles or creased leather usually rule out a return. Check the current Dan Post Boots return window and whether return shipping is charged.
Breaking in takes a few weeks of regular wear. A boot that pinches sharply on the first day is unlikely to become comfortable; one that feels snug but even usually will.
Where the Dan Post Boots savings are
Every live Dan Post Boots code is the same 15%, issued through different partners and creators. There is no stronger code hidden among them, so use whichever one the checkout accepts.
If one is rejected, the others are worth trying, as partner codes are switched off at different times. They do not stack; only one code applies per order.
On a pair of exotic Dan Post Boots, 15% is a meaningful saving in real money. On sale boots, check whether the code still applies; clearance prices may already beat full price minus 15%.
