Cowboy Boots - why are they like they are


A while back I did some research on Cowboy boots to find out what history and reasoning went into the design. The article is up on our website at http://www.out-west.co.nz/info/cowboy-boots

One of the key things about them (which is kind of obvious when you think about it) is that if a cowboy falls off his horse and gets his foot caught in the stirrup, the boot "should" come off allowing him to fall to the ground without being dragged for miles at high speed!

Theres also a good Wikipedia article on Cowboy boots which is worth a read if interested.

We stock Wrangler Cowboy Boots and also the famous Justin Brand boots.
