Western Boot-the Cowboy Life!

Around 1865, after the Civil War, the cowboys who were driving cattle across the country discovered that they needed a different style of boots. The boots they wore during the war just didn’t suit the long hours riding on the trails: blazing through the brush and brambles, splashing through creeks and rivers, and riding with their feet in stirrups for hours at a time. Thus, the birth of the cowboy boot.
