[arbusto_baboso]

1. Thigh-high pirate boots, baybay!

And not for me. For my women folk. :evilgrin:

[TX Screwball]

2. Ya gotta wear pointy toe boots.

How else ya gonna stomp on roaches in the corners of the house?

[Brother Buzz]

16. Or climb cyclone fences when the police are chasing you

[Quantess]

3. Square toes are out of style, in general.

[Kali]

4. semi round

}( with 2 inch underslung heels - ropers make me:puke:

now if you want to see POINTY, git on down into Chihuahua. Colors too. Mens.

gotta go to a meeting, I may have to take and post a pic later

see ya in a couple hours :hi:



ps

those square toes in your post are (70's!) truckers' boots not cowboys. No cowboys I know would have fake spur straps on their boots.

[mix]

6. for me, it's the ropers, just cause they're the best for riding

yeah, you're right about that square ones, i had a similar thought, but they are clearly inspired by cowboys...off for a ride actually :hi:

[Kali]

24. see, now

I think ropers are for walking with that little bitty heel. I learned from old-timers: pointy toe for getting in stirrup and a good underslung heel to keep from going on through and getting hung up. Real cowboys don't walk, they stay on. hee hee

personally I like a little round on the toe because my feet are too big and that point starts interfering with other people's personal space :rofl:

check out this hilarious picture. I like the vamp, toe, and heel. The uppers could be a little stiffer and have some better decoration, but check out the spurs:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



at least they got the buckles on the insides:rofl:

31. i would dare say

that 90% of western horse people, when riding, wear ropers...it's bizarre how universal they are in horse circles...i have a nice pair of Ariats, nothing fancy, shitkickers...the higher heels and pointy toes for some reason really impede my feel of the horse...and ropers just look better on a horse...you see a bit more boot variation among rodeo people.

[Kali]

32. I know, I see them everywhere.

I ride barefoot most of the time. :o

[mix]

34. I don't like cowboy boots for anything else though,

I don't wear them unless riding, I don't like walking in them. That must feel good to ride barefoot, never tried it! Watch the rocks and cacti.

[Kali]

35. again - you have to stay ON

;)

but yeah brush can be a problem - my feet look like a gorilla's

I keep thinking I should put taps on my stirrups but I never do.

[Schema Thing]

33. I don't ride horses, but I wear the hell out of some Ariats

You just can't kill them.

[mix]

18. A better square toed cowboy boot than the one in the poll:

never liked them myself

[Kali]

25. yeah that is more western

still gross looking to me, though

[mzteris]

5. unless you ARE a cowboy -

then - uh - no - they're just silly looking.

[Kali]

26. oh they look ok on some people

but in general - yes I agree

edit to add - I am a rancher, but I love to wear the wrong "costume" to public meetings and such. Tevas and shorts, for example. I drive the neighbors crazy.

[triguy46]

7. Depends on what statement you are trying to make...

#1 says "I'm a nerd, have no idea what a cow or horse is. But I want you to look at me."
#2 is very acceptable pair of ropers. See these all the time here in the southwest, and I have a pair that I wear in cool weather. In black, they work with business suits around these parts.
#3 Another good pair of boots, but they would demand a pair of long boot cut jeans, long enough that you walk on the hems.

[mix]

19. Ropers are just a good all around boot style.

[triguy46]

45. Yup, love mine, even though we haven't had horse stock for 20 years.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Today I saw the most striking Native American man...

He was very tall and wore pointy-toed boots. He really was stunning; but not in the glam mag way. He just had such a commanding presence...a seriously magnetic personality. Whatever the male counterpart to a Diva is, that's what this guy is.

Just because of him, I vote for the pointy toes.

[Kali]

29. this post worthless with out pics!!!

:spank: :rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. If I'd had my camera, I would have asked him if I could take his pic.

Seriously. The guy had to be close to 7 feet tall, with very dark skin and braids that fell to his shoulders and wrapped with leather.

[Kali]

40. mmm

:9

[TheCentepedeShoes]

9. Mine are simi round

Nice Nubucks I got around 12 years ago for a trip from FL to TX (Mr 'pede thought we should each have a pair :eyes: )
Haven't worn them in about 4 years and never for "cowgirling"
Just had to go out and rustle our patio table with open umbrella that was trying to make an escape over the deck fence with all the wind we are having
Storm here

[Pool Hall Ace]

10. Don't hate me, but

I associate cowboy boots with George W. Bush! :spank:

I know I shouldn't; he should be associated with Crocs and socks!

[Kali]

28. presidential seal socks!

yeah between him and raygun:eyes:

[mix]

39. crocs and socks, LOL

apparently that croc company is going down the tubes financially...yeah dubya gave a bad name to a lot of things...

[seemunkee]

46. I was looking for some boots for a long time

finally found a style I liked but had to order them in my size. They took forever to come in because it was just before Bush's inauguration and every asshole in DC was ordering cowboy boots.

11. These are the BEST cowgirl boots ever - Longhorn's

These boots were (are) in the sigline of Du'er Longhorn who passed away on Sunday, February 1, 2009

gone but not forgotten.

[SeattleGirl]

15. Those were great boots for a great person!

I wore my red ones to work the day after she passed away, in her honor.

I miss her.

[auntAgonist]

42. Hi SG, I miss her too. I don't think there's a day goes by

that I don't have some memory of her to remind me just how special she was. Right to the end, never once complaining always encouraging other people.

:hug:

She was the best :)

20. I remember the name Longhorn from my early lurking days...condolences

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

41. She was wonderful.

[seemunkee]

12. Mine are pointy but snubbed square right at the end

Like this but slightly darker

[mix]

17. those are beautiful, very simple

[csziggy]

13. For every day, round toed ropers; for shows, pointy toe

Unless, of course, you ARE a roper, then it's round toes all the time.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I love my red, pointy-toed cowboy boots.

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Pointy toed, buff roughout suede.

Best dancing shoes EVER.

[Captain Hilts]

22. Here's what I'm wearing right now...

The classic, Stan Smiths:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. wtf! where is the all of the above option?

bring on the boots, I say.

[Kali]

27. best pair I ever wore were a cheap pair of acme's

from the 70's when they still made the uppers out of leather. God I loved those boots - actually wore them out. (and they were actually good to walk in too) they looked pretty much like these ariats with maybe another 1/2 inch on the heel and maybe a little taller uppers. Actually I can't see if they are underslung so take the silly spur boot pic and the heels off those.

30. None of the above. If you want to be tough and kick some ass...

Wear JACKBOOTS!



If you wear cowboy boots, and you don't rope cattle for a living, then you are a loser who has been watching too many John Wayne movies...

[Startup]

37. Nothing wrong with cowboy boots. Practical and fashionable.

Would you say the same thing to people that wear other cowboy gear such as blue jeans?

[old mark]

38. Mine are pointy toed,partly made of ostrich, with the high heels and fancy

stitching in blue. They were handmade in Mexico, are over 16 years old. I just had them reconditioned last year at a local shoe maker's who told me he gets cowboy boots to be repaired from as far as California. He is a real craftsman - they look like new, feel better than ever, might outlive me. I love'em.

43. Used to love my Fry's

Damn they were comfy boots. But I havn't worn them since the mid eighties and they were kind of dated then, along with my collection of western style button down shirts.

[michreject]

44. Pointy

It's all I wear. I don't even own a pair of tennis shoes.

[KG]

47. if they ain't pointy, they ain't cowboy .

[proteus_lives]

48. Square toed.

I hate having my toes pinched.

[Kali]

49. check these out

I am pretty sure they must be from the 40's. They were Mother's.




love the heels!

50. Cowgirl Up!
