Here at NWsource, we have cowboy boots on the brain. We wrote about Western-inspired wear in our fall trends article, and we followed that up with an article about two local shops -- Insurrection and Horseshoe -- that sell superbly restored vintage boots.

Read on to learn about three local shops that'll have you pulling yourself up by your bootstraps in style.

came to town a few years ago, I ignored the store entirely, continuing to buy my shoes and gear
from one of the local shops. Last week, though, a friend who is the fitness director at Seattle Athletic Club suggested I check out Road Runner in Greenlake. He said I would find
both fit experts and a selection every bit as good as the local shops.

Despite what Mayor Nickels would have us believe, it isn't a
professional sports team that can make or break a city's reputation as
"world-class." As anyone who has been to Europe can tell you, it's a
full-service grocery store in the heart of downtown that makes a city
