Did you know that western boots are a particular style of cowboy boots? Cowboy boots originated from another eighteenth century riding boot, called the "Hessian boot," which was a style of boot worn in England. The original western boot is also thought of as the "classic cowboy boot" and is often recognized by its one inch heel and pointed toes.
Cowboy boots were initially designed to be practical and safe; narrow toes helped a cowboy mount his horse easier, and the heel prevented a cowboy's feet from sliding forward in the horse's stirrups. The tall height of a western boot prevented rattlesnake bites and made it easier to walk through mud or thorny brushes.
Roper boots have a newer design, and are characterized by their shorter boot style and rounded (roped) toes. Designed for the modern rodeo, roper boots were originally made to be more functional than stylish because cowboys had to not only ride their horse, but run around in the ring to rope their calf. Lacer boots, are roper boot styles that lace-up to help provide more ankle support.
