Cowboy boots aren't made for just square-dancing, roping cows, or riding a horse in the wild wild west. They have become a staple in the lives of fashionable, southern men and woman.

The timeless cowboy boot lives on as the greatest shoe to ever walk the Earth.
I proudly own multiple pairs of these country vessels: a tall brown pair, a short brown pair, and a tall black pair. They match everything.

Not many shoes can be worn by both men and women. Women have been strutting in cowboy boots for years as an unknowing and silent act of feminism. Cowboy boots represent a small equality between men and women. There's even a guide in The Art of Manliness on how to wear cowboy boots for men. Every southern belle loves a man in cowboy boots.
"From her cowboy boots to her down home roots," cowboy boots are a symbol of southern, American pride. 'Merica.
