Cowboyboots; a boot with a high top to protect the lower legs, pointed toes to help guide the foot into the stirrup, and high heels to keep the foot from slipping through the stirrup while working in the saddle; with or without spurs (often detachable).
Cowboyboots are normally made from cowhide leather but are also sometimes made from "exotic" skins such as alligator, snake, ostrich, lizard, eel, elephant, sting ray, elk, buffalo, and the like.
Most histories of the cowboyboot agree they were derived from the cavalryboot used in the Civil War in the early 1860s and other similar designs.
Modern cowboyboots are available in all colors of the rainbow and a pair has been made from just about every animal whose skin can be made into leather.
