Men's Guide To Western Boots
Western boots'are great to have in your shoe wardrobe
, because these boots seem to transcend seasons and are worn year after year. You don't have to be a cowboy to wear'western boots. In fact, many men are slipping their feet in western inspired boots and you can do the same; let us show you how.
Price
You can expect to pay at least $100 dollars or more for a pair of western boots. You can pay less than $100 if the boots are from a past season, there are a few sizes left, or the shoes have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Western boots are generally made of durable products and have excellent craftsmanship and are expected to last for several years. Western boots get their name from the men who ventured to the Western most part of the United States and spent long hours roping cattle, rambling along rugged trails, and making a backbreaking living. Because of their laborious duties they required boots that were sturdy and efficient. While cowboys and ropers still wear western style boots, their boots have become a trend of sorts and even Europeans have been known to put on a pair of western style boots.
Brands
For true cowboys brands to keep in mind include'Laredo'and'Justin. Laredo offers affordable prices, authentic western styles, comfortable fit, and superior quality. The Laredo brand designs shoes with ropers, cowboys, and the manual working laborer in mind. Justin boots were first designed and sold in the late 1800s and were sold to cowboys passing through to Texas. Justin maintains that there is a little bit of cowboy in every person; whether you work in the sun or have a laptop in tow.
For men willing to embrace western and western inspired styles consider'Steve Madden, Frye,'Kenneth Cole, and'Old Gringo. Steve Madden and Kenneth Cole are leaders in the fashion industry and offer western boots with fashionable flair. Old Gringo and Frye bridge the gap between western and trendy. Old Gringo has been around since 2000 and first sold vintage, original, and retro styles.
