Extreme weather conditions and cold all around the year has become a norm in many major parts of the United States, mainly in the lower forty-eight states. Snow and drizzle ask people to dress accordingly so that your personal comfort level is maintained while you go on with your daily routine despite the cold weather. Woolen coats, mufflers, and gloves have become a part of the daily routine.
Most of the Americans believe in incorporating style and class to their clothing choices on a daily basis, irrespective of the climate. Some opt for something like what winter collections offer to create a juxtaposition of comfort and luxury for those who want this combination in their daily life. The rest go for very simple clothing with other brands that are easier to layer up.
However you may style yourself, your shoes are a very important part of your outfit considering such a cold climate and it requires a significant amount of thought that must be put into it. A vast array of options for shoes are available in the market, from slippers to knee length boots. Choosing the perfect type to suit your style and comfort can be a difficult task.
One suitable choice for women, according to a consensus between a number of stylists, is women's cowboy boots. These boots are ideal for an all year round wet and snowy weather. Some variations of cowboy boots can also be a perfect replacement for rain boots, particularly in the wettest areas of Washington.
We all are familiar with the Old Western culture of America of the 19th century that is symbolized by cowboy boots, all thanks to the movies such as the Tombstone. The cowboys, guns, horse riding, distinguished Texan accent, and the cowboy boots are all glimpses of the old Western culture that we have all grown up with all thanks to the movies and television.
The popularity of this genre made its way through fashion into the modern world, mainly with the help of cowboy boots. Hence, they are no longer only used for horse riding but have become a much-loved fashion statement for women, men and children alike.
Materials for Cowboy Boot Making
The decades-old material which has been a constant for the production of a cowboy boot is cowhide leather. With the passage of time, however, it has evolved and now shoemakers use the skin of any animal possible which can be turned into leather. These animals include alligator, snake, ostrich, elephant, and buffalo amongst the rest. Naturally, these skins produce a different kind of leather, with a unique texture and color to it.
World of Cowboy Boots
Nowadays, cowboy boots come in two distinct styles. One is the old school, classic cowboy boot, reflecting its true decades-old origins while the other is a more modernized, slightly simplified roper style. The overall design and structure of the boots remain the same with only a few enhancements in the design to suit the modern age purpose and usage and to make it gender specific.
The classic cowboy boot has an "angled" heel and a rounded or squared toe. Whereas, the roper boot has a low and squared heel with mostly rounded heels. The roper cowboy boots are altered pertaining to the need and style. For women, these come with embroidered patterns and designs and even various colors, with the basic structure maintained to ensure that the essence of a classic cowboy boot is not lost.
For all of these reasons, cowboy boots have survived all the seasons of fashion throughout the decades and have made sure to let everyone know that it is here to stay. The amalgamation of style, comfort, and nostalgia successfully survived through all the major fashion trends in the footwear world.
A major part of the cowboy boot's success even in the current day and age can be credited with the Western genre movies and television series that have still kept that world alive for us decades later. No matter how many sci-fi movies come out and take over the world, there are still going to be a significant number of people who would still be crazy cowboy fans and would stitch that classic style and vibe into their modern lives through every possible way.
