Cowboy boots: From workhorse to fashion statement The legends and lore around cowboy boots provoke the history of thrill, romance and mystery. Cowboy boots are unique because of their own taste, style and functionality. These are designed to protect your feet while doing a task in the pasture or riding in the saddle. To riders, cowboy western boots are far too ahead than anything else when it comes to footwear because of their pointed toe that facilitates the rider to slip their foot into the stirrup at the time of mounting. On the flip side, the deep heel prevents the stirrup from fortuitously sliding over the ankle. This diversified functionality yields several designs that are preferable in the modern fashion world. In the fashion industry, western boots are quite versatile with a wide array of colors for both formal and casual outfits. These leather boots are worn all across the world by men, women and children. These boots come into modern incarnations when politicians like George W.

If you were walking down the street and you pass these people walking around in these you would think they're crazy and probably wonder what their…
Hypothesis After analyzing the shoe wear patterns above, our team of forensic Pedorthists have gained valuable insight regarding the shoe-owner’s unique (abnormal) gait. Our leading theory describes gait mechanics that feature abnormalities including: severe overpronation and a low-gear toe off bilaterally.

perfectly fit can be very comfortable and can easily snug around your foot (each boot should conform to each foot as they are both different).
