I Love shoes, including boots. However, cowboy boots were more than decorative.
Next to his horse, what was most important to the cowboy on the cattle drive? Some might say it was his rifle or his rope, but the boots
cowboys wore were paramount to their ability to do their job.
During the cattle drive era of 1866–1884, ranch hands all had boots. Old Western boots were a specific style of boot. They were made of cowhide leather and traditionally had a stacked leather heel with a rounded, squared, or pointed toe. But before wearing them on a cattle drive, they had to be broken in to make them comfortable. Boots were individually handmade and designed to withstand the wear and tear of the drive.
Who is the oldest boot maker in the USA? The Frye Company is an American manufacturer of shoes, boots, and leather accessories. Founded in 1863, 1863, Marlborough, Massachusetts claims to be the oldest continuously operated American shoe company. The Frye boot is still available.
Today, there are many companies making Cowboy Western boots. The leather is sometimes tooled.

The boots are often made from an exotic animal skin such as, ostrich, alligator, buffalo, or snakeskin.
Of course, women and children wear cowboy boots as a fashion statement or when working on a ranch. In my Sierra Creek Series book 2, His Country Heart, Amy decides to wear pink suede high heeled cowboy boots to her wedding.

Back in the day, I had cowboy boots and an endless supply of lace-up boots. With the exception of 1 or 2 pair, all are gone. I really do miss them, but for me, they either didn't fit well anymore or weren't comfortable, and I'm all about comfort today. BTW, love those suede pink boots!
Boot wearing certainly has changed over the years. Back in the day, cowboy boots or just plain brown leather Frye boots were very popular. Now I am seeing a lot of lower cut expensive Australian boots. Love those black tooled cowboy boots in the photo.
Hi Julie, thanks for stopping by! I love those pink suede boots too. :)
Hi Julie, the post above is from me. Lol
Hi, thanks for the comment. Glad you came by!
Love those pink boots.
I love boots, but don't wear them anymore. Back in high school, boots were part of our marching band uniform. I went to Will Rogers High and our team was the Ropers.
Hi Sandra, yes, aren't they gorgeous. Thanks for coming by! :)
Hi Deborah, very cool for a marching band! BTW, I've been to the Will Rogers State Park, but I didn't know there was a high school named after him. Thanks for leaving a comment. :)
