Executive Summary about Western Boots by Barry Hooper

There are two basic types of cowboy boots; they are western boots and roper boots. Hand-made western boots, made to your exact requirements can be expensive. High quality hand crafted leather western boots have approximately 290 individual steps to their production, from the first cut of the leather, until the boots are quality inspected and boxed. To create special boots requires a team of specialists. Leather — more specifically cowhide — is often the first choice for a durable western boot. With the proper care, a pair of leather western boots will last for many years. Rubber soles tend to outlast leather, and also make the boot less costly.

High quality boots are usually pegged (with lemonwood pegs), cemented and sewn. Lower cost boots are nailed in stead of pegged. These all factor into the cost of your western boots. On western boots, cowboy heels are usually slightly sloped and a little less than 2″ in height. Western boots typically have either a narrow toe, a medium round, or a wide round toe.

Not that long ago it seemed like Western boots, a.k.a. “cowboy boots,” were the stuff of ranch hands and classic movies, but now everyone wants to get their hands on a pair (or two) of these fashionable boots. Here is the guide to choose western boots:

1.      Terminology: Don’t call them cowboy boots; they are Western Boots. While you could easily shell out $600 for a new pair of stingray boots, you have to ask yourself “are these boots right for me?”

2.      Breaking in Your Boots: Any boot enthusiast will tell you that the absolute best way to break in a new pair of boots is to simply walk around in them. We’ve heard many horror stories of expensive new boots being damaged or even destroyed by quick fix efforts to break in a stubborn boot.

3.      Styling: Western boots come in a variety of different colors and styles.

4.      Cost: Pricing for western boots ranges quite a bit. New western boots tend to run a bit more expensive. Prices range with $50 as a minimum and can (for standard western boots) go as high as $300.

5.      Western Boots in Fashion: Recently, western boots have come back into fashion. These boots can now be found almost anywhere shoes are sold. Increased popularity and demand for these boots has also changed some key features of the boot, especially in women’s styles.
