NYC question: thrift store recommendation for cowboy boots?
see title. Looking for cowboy boot hunting advice from my fellow New Yorkers, as well as any thoughts on the matter of yearning for the open range despite bein' a city slicker

I’ve never been to New York so I’m not sure about finding cowboy boots in thrift stores there. However eBay can have a lot of great deals on cowboy boots. Even higher end brands like Luccese. Fit is the one thing that will be harder though. What advice do you want on cowboy boots?
I've for sure seen a ton of good ones on eBay! I was recently in Bozeman, MT and I tried on a ton of boots and none of em were quite right.
It's less about finding them in general and more about finding a bunch of vintage ones I can try on until the fit feels right.
In terms of general advice, I'm trying to square dressing with some more western vibes with the fact that I'm a born and raised NYer without being cosplay-y (my wife is from Nebraska and roasts me about my cowboy boot desires)
Maybe pop into Left Field NYC, those guys are big into westernwear and they might have some good recs
10ft single always has a few pairs, beacon's in bushwick too, though beacon's ones are more variable in quality
I haven't seen upwards of 7ish pairs anywhere
more might come out as we get closer to f/w though
Sweet, thanks @wiggs.de and @bishopcorrigan ! I'll check out those recs.
By 7ish do you mean in terms of quantity or in terms of size?
Quantity
Sizes tend to be pretty good range
front general store has a great collection of western and military wear, but you’re gonna pay with an arm and a leg
