    All of the stitching on the shaft also kept and added strength to the shaft to keep it from sagging prematurely

    The real purpose of the pointed toe is to stomp bugs in tight corners. That's why the are called CBKs (Corner Bug Killers).

      If this is true, it’s pretty smart. Wonder if it would’ve hurt your feet though

      The pointed toe didn't come around until the 1920s or so I've read and was a movie invention. Around here we call them roach killers but they were to help get the foot in stirrups and help it come out if thrown. Or so I've read and seen on other channels.

    this is truly the coolest channel! It's obvious you put a lot of time into editing. and I still have a pair of cowboy boots I bought in NYC in 1987, with the pointed toe, fancy stitching, and I tucked my jeans INSIDE the boots. Living in New Jersey. That was my cowboy phase. I paaid $125 for the boots--30 years ago! There in my basement full of mold, but I can't part with them. They are like ancient artifacts to me. Thank you for this little history lesson👍

    Ive always worn Boots.
    Tried several different brands and styles.
    I like the square toed harness boot.
    Mine in harsh conditions worn every day ( oiled every day in the winter with pig fat) last about a year and a half.
    Then I re-heel them with industrial conveyor belt material.( Very tough stuff).

    You forgot to mention that in the old west a lot of shoes and boots didn't come in rights or lefts, both boots were identical and didn't become a right or left shoe till you broke them in that way. If you wanted shoes or boots fitted to your feet, you went to a local shoemaker or cobbler for custom made boots.

    • @ArizonaGhostriders

    It's in most of the Westerns, if you want to leave a man for dead, take his guns and his boots. That works for everyone but the main character. But, the first thing the main character will do is find some boots and guns. So, boots are pretty darn high on the list.

    Hey Santee, I was thinking about this video, and I got to thinking about silver toe tips you can buy for boots today, were silver toe tips around in the old west?

      If they were, I've never seen an existing example.

      Toe caps were a modern 40's, 50's and 60's thing for Country Music Show costume boots. Came out around same time pointy toe boots did.

    Great video but I think the guy asking the question was referring to the brand Old West. Maybe I'm wrong but that's why I watched it haha

      Nope, he meant the boots made in the Old West (there was more than one request).

      Scanning and only seeing rounded toes...we'll see what the other half shows. Wayne's boots like they might actually have some square at the toe.

    Hey Santee, qot a quick question regardin' boots, any tips on avoiding blisters? I love wearing boots and wanna wear appropriate old west boots but I always get blisters in boots.

    • @ArizonaGhostriders
      @ArizonaGhostriders  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say they don't fit right. Perhaps they need to be stretched and broken in. I've heard some cowboys jump in water, get them soaked, then wear 'em till dry.

    • @KB4QAA
      @KB4QAA 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tips for breaking in shoes/boots from old navy guy: Run hot water in sink/tub. Fill up boots/shoes and let it run over outside. Let soak for 3-4 minutes. Pour out water and quick wipe outside. Put on boots and wear around house for 1-1.5 hours. Wear them while doing light chores, standing up. Do some squatting, knee bends, and bend the toes a bit. Then take off boots, set them in an open place, but not in sun or near heat. Let them sit for 2-3 days until fully dry. They are ready to wear. Best to give them some boot cream and nice wax polish to protect leather. Enjoy!

    When did they start putting stitching on the vamp of the boot, I've noticed that the older boots didn't have it but almost all new cowboy boots have them, also does the stitching serve any purpose other than looks?

    Great video, I gave it a thumbs up 👍. But would you explain to viewers that when the cowboys got the boots wet in the creek, they got on their horses and rode them dry? Too many people believe the cowboys walked them dry and it will wreck your feet!!!! I am a boot black!
