The legacy of cowboy boots

The history of these boots dates back to the 19th century, when craftsmen in the American West created these rugged boots for cowboys working in the vast expanses of the desert. They were designed to withstand the rigors of cattle ranching and cattle driving, but it wasn’t long before their distinctive style caught the eye. With their pointed toe, beveled heels and elaborate stitching patterns, they were more than just work shoes. They became a fashion statement in themselves.
