Good read. Especially the part about the toe shape. I’ve heard a lot of wanna be cowboys refer to squared toes as “farmer boots.”

I haven't worn a pair of cowboy boots in a long time, but I remember preferring the roper, round-toed boots to all the others. They were definitely the most comfortable. I didn't know the pointed-toe boots only became popular in the 1940s. Man, this is a great breakdown of cowboy boots through the ages. Awesome job, Derrick.
