Western Cowboy Boots

Howdee Ya'll, This is ol' Rex Beerbot, and I am yer guide today for Western Cowboy Boots!

As far back as can be traced, horsemen throughout the ages universally preferred higher-heeled boots. They represented nobility or a profession on horseback, hence the old adage "well heeled."

There are currently millions of people all over the globe who wear some variation of western cowboy boots. Wearers range from teenagers to labourers, to fashion-conscious young adults. One growing trend is the increasing popularity of western cowboy boots among women. The number of women enrolled in boot-making schools and fulfilling apprenticeships has quadrupled since 1992. The boot’s fairly genderless style allows both sexes free access to its many forms, as well as allowing feminisation by brands catering to the female shopper. The most major concentration of wearers is in America, however, where you can still easily find traditional styles of western cowboy boots.

Cowboy Boots are an American icon but have there roots in Britain and Germany. Read more about the history of cowboy boots .
