Western Cowboy Boots
The history of the cowboy boot goes back hundreds of years with America's rich history playing a large role in the evolution of western boots. Early cowboy boot designs were heavily influenced by the use of the Spanish vaquero and the cavalry riders in the military and were the true work boot of the period. While the function of the original western boot has evolved, the classic cowboy boot and roper cowboy boot continue to be popular styles today.
Boot Styles
Cowboy boots come in a variety of different styles, from the classic cowboy boot designed with a traditional western boot silhouette to today's more punchy and exotic cowboy boot styles.
The original, classic western boots came with less design options and were made solely for their intended use. Today you can get a wide range of western boots in a variety of toe shapes, stitch patterns, colors and heights.
Boot Function & Boot Fit
There is a large range of toe and heel options available when it comes to cowboy boots. Picking the right toe shape and heel comes down to your intended use, fit, and style preferences. An original narrow round toe makes it easier for you to slide your boots in and out of the stirrup when riding while a square toe or R toe boot offers a specific look and style. Boot heels play an important part in function and fit as well. A taller heel offers more stability in the stirrup. The later designed roper toe and heel offers easier dismount out of the stirrup.
Regardless of your intended use and preferred style, when trying on cowboy boots it is important to wear a quality pair of boot socks. When pulling on the boot, it should feel a little snug and there should be a slight pop when you slide your foot into the boot. The ball of your foot should hit the widest point of the outsole and the instep should feel a little snug to prevent your foot from sliding forward when walking.
