History of men’s cowboy boots
Men’s cowboy boots became known, as their name suggests, cowboys (or in other words, American farmers) from the Wild West, but their history actually does not begin in the United States. The first men’s cowboy boots were worn by the Spanish conquistadors, who in the 16th century conquered territories from Central and South America. Three centuries later, when the United States annexed the state of Texas from Mexico, they adopted the characteristic style of vaqueros, an integral part of which are low-heeled boots with a height of mid-calf.
The real leather from which the men’s cowboy boots were sewn and their pointed toes had the main purpose of making it easier to place the foot in the stirrup, while the heel was supposed to minimize the slippage of the foot while riding.
Nowadays, men’s cowboy boots are widely used in everyday life. They have kept the classic characteristics, these being:
- round or slightly pointed nose
- small sloping heel
- high leg
- real skin
- recognizable style
With tendencies constantly changing and fashion taking on new paths and knowing no limits, men’s cowboy boots can be worn for any activity a gentleman may wish for.
