Do you ever feel that the world is a tuxedo, and you're (looking for) a pair of brown shoes?

Looking for this pair of shoes?
After seeing a lonely display pair at Urban Outfitters with no others in stock, I have been looking everywhere for this pair of shoes, in the brown, in a size 10. I can't even find out if they were made in a size 10-- they are on Amazon and a few other websites (severely discounted, so they must be older) but only up to a size 8.5. I've checked every website and retailer I could think of but can't find them anywhere, though I did eventually find a pair in the taupe in a size 9. Since I keep making headway but usually don't look this hard for clothes on the internet, I'm wondering if anyone else knows where I might look? So far: Amazon, Urban Outfitters, Asos (had the taupe), DSW, eBay.

Also, from reviews, these apparently run a half size too small, so you should be looking for a 10.5

Response by poster: Thanks so much, I'm afraid I'm out of luck! I did adjust up for the half size, normally I would buy a 9.5 in boots. Somehow I never find the perfect shoes until they're discontinued. I'll keep checking eBay!

Best answer: Okay, I love this style of shoe. I'm absolutely hooked. If you're going to get them, PLEASE get the real deal instead of a DV version. They're real leather and they last forever and are more often then not way cheaper. They're called shoe boots. Most western stores carry them.

Response by poster: Wow, that is great advice. Thank you! Now to find a western store in Chicago (honestly, I didn't even know that was a thing).

Best answer: Western wear store in Chicago! Alcala's Western Wear on Chicago between Ashland and Damen: they're having a boot sale.

Yes! Go to Alcala's, which is overwhelmingly amazing, then skip down Chicago Avenue in your new shoe boots and treat yourself to unbelievable pie at Hoosier Mama.
