Cowboy boots may exude a macho male aura but they’re just as much a favorite with women. From tall boots in soft leather, boots in stiletto heels, a little fringe, pastel shades, a Western flare or a winsome tattoo — small feminine touches can make even a tough boot look elegant.
For sturdy practicality, boots made as a single, closely stitched piece not only protects the wearer from water but also mud and dirt. Punks to mark a distinct identity once wore most boots, like Dr Marten’s lace ups. However, cowboy boots have since gained huge popularity in women’s wear and are now quite the fashion statement. The fashion-conscious lady has a lot to choose from. Tapered heels, pointed toes, zip-up boots, and bootstraps, ankle boots in classic leather and suede styles. Boots come with decorative features like buckles, fringes, embroidery or tattoos and elegant bows. Some women like a flat boot or a wedge heel to wear to work or for an evening out on the town. As fashion goes, cowboy boots are “in” for both casual and sophisticated wear. And, it seems that the way cowboy boots are selling, money is no object.
Style is a top priority for most women when choosing the perfect pair of cowboy boots, but there are some practical points that any woman buying a pair of boots should be aware of, particularly if they are custom made. A good pair of boots should look like a pair. They should stand up on their own without the support of a shoetree. The leather should have an even color and shine with no gouges or deep pit marks.
The two boots should look like a pair. They should be about the same size, and should each have the same toe shape, top height, and heel height. The toe box should be hard without any ugly bulges, and the sole should be made with quality leather.
