Men's Pointed Toe Boots

What Is The Point of Pointed Toe Boots?

Pointed toe boots have a distinct and sleek appearance that lends a touch of refinement to any outfit. The tapering curve of the toe contributes to the foot's optically lengthened look, giving it a more refined and elegant appearance. Pointed toe boots are a flexible addition to any wardrobe being that they can be worn for both formal and casual situations.

Should You Size Up or Down for Pointed Toe Boots?

Pointy shoes can make you appear taller and slimmer but a wrong pair may cause blisters, calluses on your sole, deformed toes, bunion, etc.  So, we have to be extra careful when we buy pointed-toe shoes. 

To leave some more space for your front foot and toes, it’s better to take 1 to 2 size up, or have at least 2.5 cm space in the toe cap. For better comfort, it’s best to choose pointed-toe shoes based on your foot shape. For instance, “Egyptian Toe” with long big toe can choose inclined pointed-toes, while “Roman Toe” needs to choose pointed-toes with more space in the toe cap to avoid squished toes.

Friendly reminder - wearing pointy shoes for the whole day may put too much pressure on your feet.  If it’s for work or a special event, you can consider bringing a pair of comfortable flats to switch and relax your feet when possible.

Why Do Cowboy Boots Have Pointed Toes?

Traditional cowboy boots have pointed toes because it makes them easier to put your feet into the stirrups while riding a horse. The narrow shape, slightly rounded tip, and angle around the ball of your foot help your boots slide effortlessly into the stirrups and lock your heel in place.
