"Look I am a city boy, who loves the old West. I have always wanted a pair of real boots and While visiting Cheyenne someone said I had to stop here. We were greeted by Ethan who helped me find my dream boots. He was such an amazing employee. Thank you so much Ethan! I'll be new boot goofin all the way back to Tacoma!"
