Footwear that rises to the ankle or higher; can be casual or dressy, practical or fashionable. Boots that are designed for protection from the elements may be made of a single, closely-stitched piece of leather, rubber, or other material to prevent the entry of water, mud or dirt. Other types of boots are sturdy in nature, intended for protection in wilderness or industrial settings. Fashionable boots for men and women may have all the variations seen in other shoe styles, including high heels, platforms, and lacings.
About Cowboy Boots:
A stylized boot that has a high heel, rounded to pointed toe, high shaft, and no lacing. Cowboy boots are normally made of leathe, but sometimes they are made from exotic skins such as alligator, snake, ostrich, elephant, sting ray, elk, or buffalo. Many styles have decorative stitching and/or cutouts along the shaft.
