A cowboy must . . . have a pair of fancy chapereros, or overalls, made out of calf skin, or stamped leather. Boots with high French heels are indispensable. –General George Wingate
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.
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.”
No one would tell Boots O'Neal that his square toes are "farmer boots." You don't get more authentic cowboy than Boots.
