What is the big deal with cowboy boots?
Why do cowboy boots continue to be such a huge trend in the U.S.A, the boot never seems to be diminishing popularity even although its years since the days of cattle herding. Ok, so there are still huge areas of the country which are littered with ranches, but the boot is worn by more than just the occasional ranch owner.
The cowboy boot is popular with many groups of people. Line dancers are one such groups that just love to slip on their cowboy boots and head to their local line dancing class or event to meet up and enjoy each others company. It gives them a sense of being true to their heritage, just like the Scottish wear kilts, or the french wear berets and onions. Ok so the latter might not be true, but it certainly is a sense of being American when you dig out your favourite cowboy boots.
More and more dress designs of the cowboy boot are being developed as there is always very popular demand for the boot, gone are the days when the only boots you seen were on the feet of an actual cowboy, riding into the saloon bar in the wild west. Nowadays cowboy boots are fashionable footwear for the choice of many going to informal or formal events. You may indeed have an old tatty comfortable pair for going to the local rodeo, and a couple of dressy pairs of cowboy boots in the cupboard that you like to wear to birthday parties or social events.
Styles can now differ slightly from the older higher heel styled boots, this is generally to make them more suitable for every day use, easier to wear to work or to the shops, but still enjoy the cowboy boots style. However the authentic look can always be achieved by digging out the boots with a 1 inch heel to look like a real cowboy. These are considered a more authentic and smarter boot compared to the flatter heel of maybe half an inch.
One thing is for sure, the famous cowboy boot style will be here for a while yet, there is no sign of the traditional dress fading out in parts of the U.S.A, and there is a good chance the style will get more popular in years to come as trends reappear and capture the imagination of traditionalists and fashion enthusiasts alike.
