Choosing the Right Material for Cowboy Boots
David T.
Did you know that real cowboys actually get annoyed when you call them cowboy boots instead of western boots? Well, despite what you call them they're still fashionable--whether you're home on the range or strutting down the runway. Whatever your reasons for wanting a pair of cowboy boots, it's important to choose the right fit and the right material. Regular care is also necessary to ensure your cowboy boots will last for years to come.

When you're choosing a material for your cowboy boots, it's important to consider two things: how you plan to use them and how much you're willing to spend. If you want boots that will be stylish and durable, a pair of leather cowboy boots is gonna be your best bet. Leather is the preferred material for fabricating durable, long-lasting cowboy boots--just like in the old days.

Consider the bootmaker as well, and whether you'd like to order custom boots online or go to a western wear store. Some brands, like Justin, have been manufacturing cowboy boots for over a century. It's no wonder these boots are among the highest quality available.

To get that classic worn leather look without performing in a rodeo, you might consider a pair of distressed cowboy boots. The aging process has been done for you, so all you have to do is sport the boots like they've been part of your wardrobe for years. If you decide to go with an exotic material like ostrich, alligator or snake skin, be prepared to shell out a small fortune and accept the possibility of PETA picketing outside your house--especially if you're a celebrity.

Whether you choose cow leather or a more exotic material, properly caring for your cowboy boots is crucial to their endurance. Remove dust and dirt with a dry or damp cloth (depending on the material) regularly. Leather, for instance, is composed of many tiny fibers; the dirt that accumulates in these fibers can damage and weaken the leather. To keep the material soft, use a leather conditioner every once and a while. For cow leather, use a conditioner made with lanolin; for exotic leather, look for specially formulated conditioners. A cream-based polish can also be applied to boots to enhance them and cover up flaws. When in doubt of how to care for your unique pair of cowboy boots, talk to someone at your local western apparel store.
