Not too long ago, when someone went into a boot shop there were a very small selection of boots to choose from. However, now there are a large variety of boots available. Each one of these boots are different and have a certain look and purpose.
The standard cowboy boot that comes to mind has a 1.5 inch heel. It also usually has a pointed tow with a shaft the measures 13 inches tall. Most of these boots have stitching on the toe otherwise known as the toe bug. These cowboys are the most basic and have been worn for decades.
A cousin of these boots is the dress boot, usually made with an exotic leather such as alligator, ostrich, lizard, or many others. They look just like the good old cowboy boot mentioned above, only with that expensive, exotic hide on it.
Another boot is the Roper Boot. This boot has a rounded toe, and a 1 inch heel. They also have a 11 inch shaft and are used most frequently by ropers, which is where they get their name.
The Stockman takes features from both the Basic Cowboy Boot and the Roper Boot. The heel is 1 inch to 11/8 inch tall, and it has a rounded toe. Also the shaft is about 11-12 inches tall. However, the Stockman has a welt on the sole that gives a different feel.
The Buckaroo has large features than other boots. They have a large shaft that starts at es and can get up to 18 inches tall. In addition, at the top of the shaft they usually have mule, ears, pull holes, or, pull straps. The heel can be as tall as 3 inches and they have a rounded toe. Buckaroos are used by someone that needs a good heel to ride and a lot of leg protection.
Roughstock Boots have a rounded or square toe and have a taller shaft at at about 12 inches tall. They are made to be durable and have a tough heel counter. They have about a 2 inch heel and are made for anyone that rides bulls, broncs and anything else that requires a durable boot.
The Fashion Cowboy Boot has as many features and accessories available as people on this planet. They usually have a high narrow heel at about 3 to 4 inches tall. Some accessories that are being put on fashion boots are silver and brass dots, camo. hair on hides, and bling. Fashion boots come as many colors, and designs as people on this planet.
Mules are similar to Fashion Boots by having many colors and styles. However, one of the unique features of Mules are they do not have shafts or heels. With jeans or long pants Mules look like regular cowboy boots. Because of this many women chose Mules for the look and comfort. In the end boots are boots, but by looking at someones boots you can get a good idea of how they see the world and who they think the world sees them them. Boots are a must, and cowboy boots are a given.
