What are cowboy boots?
Cowboy boots, also known as Texan or Wild West boots, are characterized by their pointed toe, sloping heel, and mid- to high-cut shafts with embroidery or engraving. Although they originated in the 19th century as a functional design for cowboys, they have now been reinvented and become a key piece in the fashion world.
