Cowboy Boots With Lifts

The History of Cowboy Boots with Lifts

The iconic cowboy boot has its origins in the 19th century American West, when tough leather riding boots provided protection, support and style for wranglers. As cowboys spent countless hours in the saddle herding cattle across rugged terrain, their boots endured great wear and tear. Resourceful bootmakers began discreetly adding extra layers of leather to worn heels, extending the life of well-broken-in boots.

Over generations, these built-up heels evolved into subtle lifts, gradually becoming a mainstay feature for working cowboy boots. While just an inch or two high, the extra elevation bolstered the imposing stature expected of strong, skillful cowboys. This heritage of fortified footwear empowering the frontier lives on through modern lifted cowboy boots gracefully blending tradition with contemporary progress.

How To Fit Cowboy Boots

1.Put the boot on and listen for the faint “pop” as your foot slides into place.

2.Confirm the proper amount of heel lift (there should be some lift, but not too much).

3.Comfortably stand, and then place a sideways thumb between the tip of your toe and the end of the boot. This is the proper amount of space between your toes and boot end.

4.Walk around to confirm comfort, fit, and heel lift.

How to Style Cowboy Boots with Lifts

Subtly lifted cowboy boots retain their quintessential Western charm while amplifying modern dynamism. Pair them with straight-leg or tapered denim in jet black or indigo blue for maximum impact. Oxford button-downs lend polish when neatly tucked, or relaxed henleys on weekends.

Stackable boot shafts also coordinate well with neutrally colored chinos or slacks. Throw on a belt and hat in smooth leather for coherent ranchwear vibes both in towns and on the range. As for accessorizing, less is always more - let classic designs shine on their own terms.
