    Ooooh please share website? :j My poor old boots are falling off my feet! :o

    I have used this website http://www.sheplers.com they seem quite happy to ship to the UK (and they arrived in a week!!!) but the postage was a fortune, just make sure you keep the cost below the customs threashold which I think is £120

    I thought it was about £20 (possibly even less...been a while since I ordered from the USA!) before you pay extra for customs or whatever it is...could be wrong :)

    I bought my cowboy boots in Vegas...my visit happened to coincide with the National Rodeo finals...you have never seen a happier girl. lol. Had an entire warehouse type affair full of stalls selling various merch...I swear I was in heaven. lol.

    For the record, Ariat, while expensive, do some gorgeous boots, shoes and even handbags :D.

    Fortunately the customs charge threshold has been increased I think around December last year, it is only a recent change though (I had to wait for the change to happen before I ordered my most recent pair), I was so pleased that they changed it as it would make my cowboy boot habit impossible!

    Really?! Awesome :D. I'm already keeping half an eye out for another pair (would be my third. lol). Problem is my feet are so big (Uk size 9), that I usually have to get men's designs and they don't tend to be as "flamboyant" as the ladies...I do own a pair of ladies, but they had to be stretched on site (they had a special machine to do so) to fit my big, wide feet. lol. Make awesome boots though...so versatile!
