When you think of work boots and cowboy boots you think of rustic farmers hauling hay in a big field or rodeo contestants on horseback, roping a calf, right?
But in recent seasons, work cowboy boots have become the “it” shoe for city people and celebrities alike. In any LA farmer’s market, or New York City thrift store, you can spot someone donning cowboy boots paired stylishly with a dress, jeans, or overalls. Why have these boots, previously just worn for labor-intensive days, become so popular? The simple answer is comfort and durability.
While cowboy boots were originally designed for practical use, they have evolved into a fashion statement that can be worn in a variety of different settings and with different outfits– plus, they will make your feet happier for hours on end!
Why are cowboy boots so popular to farmers and celebrities alike? It comes down to their design features and material that make them a perfect choice for those who need footwear that’s both comfortable and fashionable.
Why are cowboy boots comfortable to work in?
Cowboy boots have a high, angled heel that provides support and stability to the foot. This heel helps to distribute the weight of the wearer evenly across the foot, reducing pressure points and discomfort. Whether walking city blocks, shopping ‘til you drop, or working on the farm all day, your arches will be supported by this imperative design feature.
But the amazing features of the cowboy boot do not stop there. The shaft of cowboy boots is typically made from leather or another durable material, and is designed to provide protection to the ankle and lower leg. Along with the shaft, the insoles are important to the comfort of the cowboy boot. They are made from materials such as foam or gel and help to absorb shock and reduce the impact of each step. This helps to reduce the risk of injury and fatigue, making it easier for the wearer to stand and walk for long periods. So no need to change from heels to sneakers for your daily commute!
Cowboy boots also mold to your foot overtime, like a tempurpedic mattress for your soles! The leather used for cowboy boots is usually so soft that it reduces pressure points and provides a snug fit. This also allows the foot to breathe, preventing sweat and moisture from building up inside the boot. Say goodbye to stinking up the whole room with your shoes. This feature also makes cowboy boots great for any weather keeping the foot cool or warm when needed thanks to the lining made from eco-friendly synthetic materials.
Many musicians, actors, and other celebrities have been spotted wearing cowboy boots on the red carpet and in their everyday lives. This exposure has helped to bring cowboy boots into the mainstream and has made them a fashion statement that is accessible and trendy for people of all ages and backgrounds. So if you're looking for a comfortable and durable pair of boots to wear to work, in the city or even on the red carpet, look no further than the trusty cowboy boot.
