Last popular in the 16th century or there abouts. Funny how many things are circular.

Should make them easier to spot coming across the border I suppose.

I've seen them "on the hoof" and we're a long way from the border, unless you're speaking of the edge of madness.

Don't believe it. The Leningrad Cowboys (from Finland) had that look years ago. It matches their hair.   |

Quite frequently seen around Dodge City these days.....
Haven't seen pointed toe shoes like those since highschool, when the Mexican guys wore the pointy toed black tie up dress shoes a lot. Some were also patent leather.
Most referred to them back then as "Puerto Rican Nosepickers".

When I lived in Texas, we lived by the dictum that they're not really cowboy boots unless you can squish a bug in a corner, i.e., real cowboy boots have pointy toes.

It used to require hallucinogenic drugs to be able to see stuff like that. |

My daddy always told me, "Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his ridicuolous, degrading, stupid cowboy boots."

Our high school cliques were often defined by the presence/absence of cowboy boots. To those who preferred sneakers, the cowboy boots were often called "fence climbers" because the toes could easily be inserted into wire mesh fencing. These boots kind of take things to a whole new level. |

The Leningrad Cowboys ! ! ! ! ! ! !
My goodness. Sweet Home Alabama too. You know they are (were?) really pretty good. I love the Russian dirge at the 1:29 point. And they're wearing Russian Army uniforms.
Oh my God. They reprise the dirge with the Russian Army choir at the 4:10 point.
ha, ha, ha, ha
Fabulous.

It goes from kick-ass to stab-ass in those boots.

Another question: How does one kick-ass in them? If you kick an ass in those boots you might have to wait until his morning constitutional to get your boot back. |
