Some Different Ways To Rock Cowboy Boots

Some Different Ways To Rock Cowboy Boots

Looking for something to do with that pair of cowboy boots in your closet that doesn’t involve line dancing or riding a mechanical bull? Well, you’re in luck – because as it turns out, there are lots of scenarios in which a pair of cowboy boots would be perfectly appropriate, and it doesn’t have to be within the context of western apparel, either! Probably the most classic way to wear cowboy boots is with jeans – a look that dates back to the times when western wear was the prevalent style, and not just something you saw in blank and white movies and costume shops. Apart from wearing cowboy boots with jeans, what are some other ways you can wear cowboy boots and get away with it without it being a western apparel-themed outfit?

Wearing cowboy boots with leggings or tights is another way to bring legwear into the picture outside of the customary jeans. Leggings and tights are a little bit more daring than the jeans, but it can work quite well if you know how to do it right. Some people have no problem pulling off brightly colored tights or leggings under a plain pair of cowboy boots, paired with a simple dress and possibly a cardigan depending on the weather. Leggings and tights are just a couple of examples of ways to wear cowboy boots with different types of leg wear. An extension of this ensemble that might work would be cowboy boots and a tunic dress (with or without a pair of tights or leggings). Remember to keep the colors in your outfit simple because cowboy boots will always be a statement in and of themselves.

As far as the dress goes, it really needs to be the right dress to work fantastically with a pair of cowboy boots. If you pick the right dress and accessories, you can really rock the cowboy boots without anyone associating the look with western wear. Nothing says "casual elegance" like a pair of cowboy boots worn with a flowery, loose, casual dress that hits just above the knee. The secret to pulling this off is keeping it understated and subtle; there’s no need to overdo it with lots of extra "stuff" in the form of accessories. You can go simple with neutral prints and solids or you can go bold with bright colors and patterns–either way, nothing sets off the look like a pair of cowboy boots.

Western Cowboy Boots

June 21st, 2009 admin 1 comment

History has it that the western cowboy boot came about after the civil war when many southerners migrated to Texas taking with them their noble footwear – the Wellington Boot. At that time, the Wellington had a low cut heel that was calf high. It was quickly adopted by the Texans who gave their own western interpretation to this footwear – hence, the western cowboy boot. Today, the Western cowboy boot is a staple in fashion all the world over.

In 1954, the western boot changed to keep in stride with the growing popularity of the rodeo. A lower heel and rounder toe was necessary to accommodate the wear and tear competitors required to compete. By the 70′s television and theater influenced the western boot ‘look’ and style and fashion trends took hold. Some have high heels and pointed toes, while others stick with tradition and have a lower heel and a rounded toe for the true cowboy.

  Roper cowboy boots

Custom-made western cowboy boots take about 45 hours to make. These hours of labor are reflected in the price of a pair of western boots, because prices can be steep. Colors range from traditional browns and blacks to red, blue and gray. Decorations include the toe wrinkle and stitch lines across the toe top seem to be popular additions. There are different types of the western boot including the Roper that has a shorter shaft, rounded toe and straight, low heel. The Packer is a high boot with laces and the Lacer is, in fact, a lace up.

The Origin Of Cowboy Boots And How To Shop For Them Today

June 21st, 2009 admin No comments

Cowboy boots were, as the name implies, originally created for cowboys. They got their start during the Civil War drawing from the design of the cavalry boots that were worn by soldiers. Later the cattlemen in the big ranching states like Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma went to boot makers and requested alterations to their boots in order to better accommodate the conditions they worked in. The two most popular creators of cowboy boots during the 1870s and 80s were Justin of  Justin Boots  in Spanish, Fort Texas (also known as ‘Big Daddy Joe’) and Mr. Charles Hyer of Hyer Brothers Boots in Olathe, Kansas.

Cowboy boots have a distinctive style and shape. They are constructed with a high shaft, a high heel, a rounded or pointed toe and no lacing or zippers at all. The first cowboy boots were constructed of plain leather but over the course of time the have evolved into more of a fashion statement with decorative stitching, punched designs and even cutouts in the high tops (Texas stars were once the hottest trend). Today many people enjoy the feel as and look of wearing cowboy boots and they can be purchased in almost any color or design you can imagine. Most cowboy boots are still made from leather but some are fashioned from more exotic animals such as alligators, snakes, and even eel.

When looking for a great fitting pair of cowboy boots it is important to understand that cowboy boots do not fit the way other shoes do. Be sure to do your cowboy boot shopping (and any kind of shoe shopping) after lunch since feet expand throughout the day. It is also important to have your feet measured by the shoe salesperson. Cowboy boots purchased in the morning will end up being too tight by the end of the day. If you purchase them after a long day of work, the opposite is true; they will be much too loose in the morning. Everyone has one foot that is slightly larger than the other, so it is strongly advised that you have both of your feet measured for cowboy boots to ensure a proper fit.

For optimum comfort you should choose the toe shape that is most compatible with your foot shape. Rounded or slightly boxy toes provide the most room and comfort and should be chosen by anyone with foot trouble. A pointier toe may be more fashionable in some cases, but do not choose this style if it causes you foot pain.

If you have a high instep you may have problems finding a pair of cowboy boots that fit comfortably and do not bind. One option for women with this problem is to purchase a pair of cowboy boots in either the boy’s or men’s department. The same advice applies for those with wide feet. Usually, women’s shoes and boots are made with a B width and men’s with a D width.

The next thing to take into consideration is the heel height. Cowboy boots come in a wide range of heel heights from almost flat to several inches tall. If you have flat feet or back pain you will do best with a low heel, too flat or too tall will increase your pain. A lower heel is also a consideration for a more casual look and a higher heel is dressier.

Once you have considered all the information above it is time to try the boot on. Begin by rolling up your pant leg to just below the knee and then grab the tabs at the top of the boot with one hand on each tab and then pull the boot on. The boot should slide on easily and the shaft should not rub against the leg when you walk (this could cause blistering). You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly and the heel should not slide up and down when you walk, but also should not be too restraining.

There you have it. You now have all the information you need to make an educated cowboy boot purchase. You should easily be able to find a boot to fit your fashion sense and your foot in comfort and style.
