Traditionally made from cowhide leather and featuring a high shaft, pointed toe, and no lacing, these boots were designed to protect and provide comfort during long hours on horseback. The decorative stitching and intricate designs often reflect the personal style and regional influences of the wearer. Today, they continue to symbolize durability and rugged individualism, embraced both in North America and around the world.
