#CowboyBoots #Spurs #Fashion - เพลง
I like cowboy boots because:
- no laces
- a cubby for my legs to nest
- the arch support
- nice solid block heel
- the vibe they give off
Epic reasons! I'm right there with ya!
Love the jangle sound of spurs, I rock em. Nothing over the top. People actually like my spurs “it’s different” and people like em… or maybe I’m just a smooth operator❤️👌🏾
if someone tells you, you can't wear cowboy boots because you aren't a cowboy, then they need to reevaluate things.
Thats like saying you can't wear tennis shoes if you aren't a tennis player or you can't wear basketball shoes if you don't play basketball etc.
EXACTLY! That's what I'm talking about Frank
Brilliant 🥊🥊🥊😍
I like spurs fore style
Me too buddy, very powerful and look so great
My son wears spurs for 1 thing..bull riding. They get caught on the truck seats, floor or everything they can possibly catch on. Very impractical to wear out on the town and most people would stare pretty hard unless you are in West Texas or in the high plains of course.
Totally!
I’m trying to get into bull riding myself over here myself. You raised your boy right
Mine stay on my riding boots for bronc, bull riding only
Mine are on my work boots there are some days we’re I don’t ride tho
I wear spurs with my Chelsea boot! Vintage Spurs. In Tesco. Going to the post office. Out on the Lash. The pie shop. I don't wear em all the time. If i nip into town i walk. Good pair of vintage jeans. RM William's Cuban heel Chelsea boots & vintage Spurs. Mint Designer Cashmere Jumper.....I'm happy & i look the K9's Testicles. Do folk stare🤔....Some yeah. Am i bothered. Nope not one jot. I'm old mid 60's At my time in life I'm wearing exactly what i want to. Not what others expect me to. Like the rest of the "BORG".... 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
I guess you can wear spurs in urban settings if you have to serve out a few roundhouse kicks to those laughing at you for wearing spurs.
Wore cowboy boots as a teenager living in WV. Not the West by any means but many people wear western style clothing. Moved away after school and did not wear western boots or hats anymore but gave in to the sneakers and ball cap style for years. Got older and finally decided to wear what I wanted (age can be a good thing). I wear Alden ankle boots and western boots exclusively now. Even wear longer brimmed fedoras and western hats. Wear what you like and don't live with the "herd" mentality. When you get a certain age you realize it is about what you like and not what is in style.
Damn straight! Thanks so much for sharing this story
There’s an employee at the local Walmart in my part of Arkansas that pushes carts in. He wears cowboy boots, spurs and cowboy hats everyday. I haven’t talked to him yet so I don’t know if he just wears them for style or if maybe he rides horses after work. During Halloween he wore the Clint Eastwood poncho and Eastwood style hat too work and of course cowboy boots and spurs.
I'd like to see that in real person, I know everybody likes dressn, and in different ways everywhere, even at work. ✌️👌🤠👍
I like cowboy boots for two reasons.
First, they look good. Secondly, they are practical.
We wear leather soled cowboy boots when we burn the stubble every year, mainly because the soles do not melt and fall apart. The heavy cowhide shaft of the boots is also useful for rubbing our jeans out when they start to smoulder or catch alight.
One of my funniest memories was the day that a guy called us idiots and tucked his jeans inside his boots. All we had to do was wait for a burning ember to drop down inside the top of his boots. It was so funny when it happened, but he was not laughing. 😃😃
I wear spurs when I'm riding my horse, and when I'm out and about.
I’m 6’1” so I don’t need high heels,it’s just that cowboy boots have been my footwear of choice for longer than I can remember. There’s a picture of me at about 4 years of age wearing cowboy boots,and I’m now 60.Spurs are something that’s never crossed my mind. However,I also always wear a cowboy hat,Resistol,Stetson,or Master Hatters of Texas,plus tailor made vests with a pocket watch on a chain. That’s my style and I’m sticking with it. By the way,I downloaded some of your music and found it quite enjoyable.
I need myself a pair of spurs cause I’m gonna start bullriding as soon as I can get to classes
the same here haha good luck
Spurs for date nights! Definately!!! In the house, on the deck, etc. Or in the barn!!! Out in the fields!!!
On horseback! Or beside them!
And i have as yet not been able to find sheets that don't get kind of chewed up with them.
But I haven't tried nylon sheets--- yet!
There is a reason why I have a saddle in my bedroom! And it isn't just for setting the mood!
Enough said??!!!
I wear spurs, but I ride horses. Outside of work, I don’t wear the spurs. They’re quite heavy, get caught on things, and I am so clumsy so I’ll accidentally hit myself with the spur.
A spur ridge actually comes in handy keeping your pants from dragging in the back. The "cowboy" way of wearing pants is about two inches longer than you normally wear your pants so they stack. This keeps your pants from riding up when you sit down, riding a horse, etc. The spur ridge helps them from dragging in the back. Just because it has a spur ridge and tall top does not make it a real "cowboy" boot. Lots of ranch and cowboy people wear different style boots come with tall tops, some with short tops, spur ridge, no spur ridge, riding heel, roper heel, etc. You are correct spurs are not for fashion they are for function. As they say just because you can, does not mean you should. I guess if you are playing a character like in cowboy action shooting, reenactment, etc and want to complete the look with spurs then by all means.
The spur ridge is totally good for stacking. I agree. I love that there are so many styles so people can have them be practical in their own ways.
Absolutely!
I most definitely wear my spurs for fashion thay rarley get caught on anything, and you wont even come close to hitting the floor with them unless you have a severly down turned shanks or you wear them the mexican style which is on the heal itself.
Gotcha. Glad you're leaving no marks!
I also NEED cowboy boots not just for style but to last cause I've also burned through shoes, now all I've got is combat boots, cowboy boots, and just one pair of running shoes.
Remember going to a motorcycle/leather bar with boots and spurs. That is where I found out about how to go down stairs with them on.
About broke my fool neck! Much easier going up the stairs!
But they did their job and I was happy!
Oh, To be in my 20's again!!! Good times! But if I could go back they would be even better!!! 😊😊😊
I have spurs but pretty much only wear when riding, occasionally they stay on for a short time. They do make the boot feel better. Would not wear going out for the night.
I’ve had to get new shoes almost every year growing up, so when my feet stopped growing I started wearing cowboy boots and oh my god they last for fucking every. A good pair, even a pair in the lower end of the price spectrum, will last you a long time.
Damn straight!
If you're going to wear traditional western gear you need to understand a few things. 1) it's already atypical; 2) you'll get looks; 3) go all or nothing for reasons 1 and 2.
I get complents on my boots, spurts, belts, hats, everything. All with gold, silver, feathers, engraving whatever!
I started to collect spurs. I hsve an antique pair with silver enlayed engraving! Plus a modern non-rawel pair! And a pair from a buddy who was a rodeo 'cowboy of the year'--- so his are special to me!
The antique ones are way narrow so i cant wear them. But the other two pair i do, from time to time! Esp if im feeling by buddy and missing him. Like, why not? We were friends over 20 years. And i miss that friendship. A lot!
So i put his spurs on and have a day with him, once or twice a year!
Why not!!!
After I'm dead and gone i hope someone remembers me! And thinks kind thoughts!
At least for a little while!
Took my spurs to wear at a Western Bar Night in big city of Toronto. Cops saw me and were going to charge me for wearing lethal weapons.
Wow that's crazy, I think spurs on cowboy boots are cool, there are so many cool spurs out there, some are real pieces of art. Keep on wearing them if you like them regardless
That happened to a friend of mine in Toronto but it was the silver toe caps. They said they were a lethal weapon . I think they were jealous.
Excellent
A lot of us really like the tall tops. I prefer to a short top.
I’ve always considered using spurs as a fashions statement, but they are just more of a utility thing. And maybe if you really wanted to draw more attention with noise and the look, then you do you. And spurs to me shouldn’t really be a fashion statement to me. But once again you do you
Agreed. Seems like too much when not used for the purpose they are intended but if they make somebody happy I'm cool with that too
I’m the same way and I find I can’t brake cowboy boots 🤣
Hondo’s style 2670 to be renamed, “The Jeremiah”
I live on a farm, and prior to wearing cowboy boots I’d be lucky to get 5 months out of a pair of shoes, plus they just support my feet so much better
HEy HEy! Really enjoy your videos Jeremiah, I live on a horse ranch and ride horses almost everyday and basically live in boots. I really dig your passion for craftsmanship and boots. And you don't have to be a cowboy to wear boots. People who say stuff like that have their own ego issues they need to deal with. I have experienced it allot in my life especially with cowboy hats and boots. Honest question for ya... are you sposered by Hondo Boots? You mention them allot and wanted to try some. Also spur heel keeps your jeans from rubbing on the ground. Spurs are best used for horses that are highly trained and they are an extension of your leg. No need to use spurs on a green horse or rider.
I'm adding toe guards and hell guards on mine where the wear happens the most but the metal ones.. they have to cut the sole to fit it in but I won't have to get them repaired as often
I had a similar converstion witha buddy. He is from South Carolina and gre up on a ranch. He wear Ariat roughstocks. I really like them because they got that extra leather over the top. I said I wanted a pair and he asked if I ride. I said well no, he said then why would you wamt riding boots. These are made for stirrups and spurs, just get regular boots if you dont ride because real ranchers will probably give you shit about it.
Andrew so you like, love, Ariat rough stocks get em, don't let anybody tell you, you can't get em, that's none of their damn business what you wear, wether you ride or not!!! The hell with them, GETEM PARTNER, enjoy!!!!!!✌️👌🤠👍😉
My uncle is a rancher and doesnt use spurs or boots. He rides in brahms from walmart
I dunno buddy, seems like you take extra special care of your boots... There is nothing practical about spurs, unless you are using them for their intended farming purpose...But, they look amazing to me, and I would love to have a pair to wear just because
I know at least one guy who likes spurs being used on the ass of his cowhide leather riding jeans. 😃😃
Cowboy boots in general are so damned cool, practical and comfortable I don't know why everybody doesn't wear them, really. Far as spurs, I wear 'em if there's any chance I'm going to be on a horse that day, which is like 70% of days. I just get so used to having spurs on that it feels funny to not have them. I wouldn't wear them just for fashion, though, because that would seem pretty fake. You do need to earn your spurs. New riders really never start out with them, as they're kind of an advanced riding aid that could get you into trouble quick if you aren't careful. The better rider you are, the less you might need spurs, and just 'cause ya got them don't mean you have to use them. I seldom do, but when I need 'em, I want them so I wear them.
I wear cowboy boots almost exclusively... for over 40yrs! I don't own a pair of spurs, esp. as a fashion statement!
I only wear spurs in the saddle . As soon as I get off my horse they come off .
Hey jeremiah did you buy the same pair of brown boulets as your first ones in the back there?
No I only have one pair of these brown boulets
Cowboy boots were designed to hook into the saddle and be able to have spurs
Holy moly ... I was seriously thinking on buying some spurs to make even more noise while walking round town hahahaha But, after watching this vid of yours I prefer not to go "nutter" than I already am xD
Well I wouldn't want to ride a horse in air Jordans
Actually, in history, original spurs the rowl At least in England was the show classmen ship a.k.a. fashion. Golden stars, silver spurs in Pittsburgh. I think golden went to the Highest level of being a knight, silver to the squire etc etc And tin spurs… had nothing to do with horses at the moment. In fact, spurs pre-date to the second century BC.
And lol your suppose to replace your sneakers every 75 miles or 3 months .. cowboy boots last what 30 to 40 years with proper care.. remember we can create things to last a lifetime but back in the day a group of people came together to create "plan obsolescence" we make things to break to sell more items.. cowboy boots ( good quality ones) are not a "planned obsolescence" product. For example we use to make amazing lightbulbs that could last a lifetime (one is still being used today look it up 100 years) now we make them last what 1 to 3 years lol
I can destroy a pair of cowboy boots way faster than I can destroy a pair of Thorogood work boots
Shit I wear my boots everyday unless I’m working out then so running shoes. I’ll walk through the soles (rubber / wood bottom) just about 1 - 1 1/2 years then time for a new pair. But that’s cause where where we walk now is made of concrete.
Take picture
Any one know any good non darking boot oil. I just got a pair of tecovas and I need a good oil so they don’t start cracking.
Bick 4 won't darken your Tecovas
Becks does not waterproof like oil though. Oil is best but it does darken the color
@@JeremiahCraig thanks for your help man
When I put my spurs on they never come off. I’ll only take them off if I’m riding a sensitive horse.
In my opinion wearing spurs as a fashion statement is like wearing a tool belt.
“You don’t have to duct tape it all the time” LIES I watched Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
How does one mark a floor with spurs? You just laying on floors out here? 💀
It depends on the type of spur your wearing. And how low you wear them.
The Mexican style have much bigger rawels, plus the shanks are usually bent downward, so spurs can damage flooring.
And at $18 a square foot, take your spurs off before walking in my house. Don't want my teak floors screwed up unnecessarily!
Take them off, or go water a rose bush on the side!
The problem with spurs is that they are a tool to comunicate with the horse, and that’s it, think of it as the rains you will use them while riding but you don’t have a practical use for a pair of rains outside of riding same with spurs.
I can wear it at airport
Jeremiah your right about that Spurs are a tool a tool for horseback riding I can’t stand people wearing them for fashion or even those nasty painful kinks.
It’s a tool for horseback riding not for anything else.
You realize not everyone will agree with you!
It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish when you wear spurs! And sometimes it will entail more than riding a horse! But that is strictly on a need to know basis!
If it isn't right for you--- don' do it! But don't tell others how to live!
@@PsulOrtiz * Points and laughs at the long message *
@@PsulOrtiz weird yourself out here telling me what to do
Only if you're riding
Most cowboys and cowgirls who ride horses, work on ranches and farms usually will tell you the only time they wear spurs is when they're actually on the ranch, the farm or riding horses. They never wear spurs in public because of the dangers they pose to others.
They can impede driving habits and make for too much of a distraction in the car.
The spurs can cause serious injury to others if they just happen to accidentally "jab" somebody in the foot or leg when In close proximity to others.
The spurs themselves are merely tools to use when controlling horses and getting them respond quicker (equestrians use them quite a bit as well). But to most cowboys and cowgirls, they're not a fashion statement and should not be worn in public. This just opine only.
spurs are fashion but don't use them if you aren't using them to ride horses
Ok, stop saying “sneakers”!!! Be a man!!!!
Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers. Sneakers.
Is there are "manly" word for sneakers?
Yes but I think you’ll have to learn that on your own! 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣 just no, that's like walking around with a motorcycle helmet and not owning or riding at all....
Wearing or carrying a motorcycle helmet if you are not with a bike is a criminal offence here in the UK. It is on the assumption that you are going to steal a bike, or rob a bank. Generally no one would bother and only known bike thieves and career criminals have ended up arrested.
I hope there are no folks there with facial-cranial injuries!
Sometimes a cranial plate is removed from someone's head and the skull needs the protection of a helmet, as there is just a covering of skin over the brain--- which has the strength of Jell-o! So the head needs physical protection until reconstructive surgery can be carried out!
Wearing/carring a helmet means you are looking to steal a motorcycle??!!! Really!!!??
Perhaps carrying a valise means you are on the way to the bank to rob it? This is the very same kind of (faulty) logic!
It is just such a really dumb leap in speculation.... but whatever!
Just truely dumbfounding 'logic'!
Wearing cowboy boots are step 1 (get it?) to being a man. It’s the first indicator that you’re a man and you may kick ass if provoked! #2 Hondo is bullshit. Stop saying that out loud. Damnit man! Make your daddy proud and wear Ariat or Dan Post for every day, Luchesse on the weekend! I’ve got several other pointers for you if you just ask. I can help you! 🤠
You're funny. Not sure where you're getting your information but here is me saying it again: Hondo is better than Ariat and Dan Post. Every. Day. Of. The. Week.
You got a lot to learn... but I still like ya! 🤠🍻
Personally I don't like laces so I don't wear shoes. Spurs are for queuing the horse. Horse trainers use them. So spurs are a tool not a fashion. I will tell you what is a fashion, boot straps. Some of them are chains. Some people like them. I like to look at your boot, what do I call it show I don't know. See you later.
If you wear spurs for anything other than what they were designed for I’d say you’re a poser, spurs are for riding not fashion, that’s my opinion.
Your opinion is about as valuable as...... anyone else's. Which means it has no effect or value on/for anyone!
If you aren’t county don’t wear them
