Four Reasons Why Western Boots Will Become Your Everyday Footwear

When you buy a pair of Western boots, you probably believe that you will only wear them for horseback riding. Then you see how so many pairs of boots are decorated, and think that you could buy a fancier pair to wear more often. So you buy a fancier pair of Western boots, and before long, they are your everyday footwear. How does this happen? Why does it happen? If you look back over the weeks and months, you will discover that you started wearing your boots more often for one of the following reasons.

Boots Are Built for Safety

Western boots are built with safety in mind. Horses and cattle are very heavy animals, and to have them step on your feet can result in crushed toes and some very nasty injuries. Hence, Western boots have always been built with foot protection in mind, making the toe boxes very hard to squish. If an animal of this size steps on a Western boot toe box, it may flatten or dent it a little, but any toe injury you receive will be quite minor in comparison to what it could be barefoot or with tennis shoes on.

Boots Are Comfortable

If you are not wearing boots with spiked heels (which Western boots generally do not have), then boots are amazingly comfortable. The shafts hug your calves with just enough wiggle room for your legs and feet to move freely without feeling too compressed. The foot-bed and heel of each boot firmly supports your whole foot, while the toe ends protect your most vulnerable digits — your toes.

Boots Double as Work Attire

If you work any sort of job where boots are recommended footwear, then your boots also double as work attire. There are plenty of jobs that do that. From ranch hand to industrial work, boots effectively protect your toes, feet, and lower legs because of the tough leather and molded heels, soles, and toe boxes. If you bought the boots for work, you will find that it is just easier to keep them on for "play" after work or when you are off work than it is to take the boots off to put on other footwear.

Fast, Easy Dressing

Boots can go with almost anything you wear. They are the fastest and easiest way to finish getting dressed because you can just quickly pull them on and you are ready to go. There is no messing with laces, straps, etc..
