Severity is determined by the rider's leg control and the specific rowel used; the extra leverage actually allows for smaller, more subtle ankle movements to achieve a response, making them a precision tool rather than a harsh one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I ensure these spurs will fit my specific Western boots?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Fit is determined by the width of the yoke (heel band). Our Men’s sizes are wider for larger boot heels, while Women’s sizes are narrower; for a perfect fit, the band can be slightly adjusted by hand to sit snugly against the spur rest of your boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AVSP-101\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47372999131357,"sku":"AVSP-101","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized033126AVSP-101.webp?v=1775025169","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/avsp-101","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
