Rockpup Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Heya, just thought I might share someone else's view who's into high heel cowboy boots.. names withheld.. but I can tell you where the group is if you want.. Enjoy Ikin tell ya what it's like to wear HHBs. First, it's like yer standin on tiptoe. It really puts you off balance at first, but then you learn to lean back on the heels, bend yer knees a little, and go with it. If the boots don't fit right, they'll cramp yer toes. Now that's not good unless that's what yer into. Hee Hee. Me, I'm not. I jist like the feelin of bein a little above everybody else and havin that swagger that wearin hhb gives you. If yer a cowboy, it's easy to walk bowlegged like you've been ahorseback all yer live, and you have to take little bitty steps. The thang I love about it is that yer reminded every second of whut yer awearin, and you feel it all through yer body. SHEEEIIIIIITTT, it makes me hard jist thankin about it. Yup. It's hard to walk. And if you have to stand fer a considerable amount of time, it starts to make you feel it everywhere. <eg> If ya happen to git put in a cage that won't let ya move or sit, you'll git to enjoy em a whole lot more even. Now, iff ya want to walk down the street and look like Mick Jagger in cowboy clothes, just start off and take big giant steps. Soon you'll be doin a "Mr. Natural" type gait and folks'll be lookin at ya and thankin "SHEEIIITTT" there goes Mr. Natural! Hee Hee. Walkin in super high heels has its punishments and its rewards. The best reward is in the punishment. See if ya kin figger that one out!!! Seeya Jim (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Weird. I don't think bending the knees is part of correct western boot wearing technique though. It makes you look like a beginner who put them on for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ward Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's obvious that that guy is not a cowboy, or someone in a rural setting. Having done both, ie rode in rodeo professionally, and worked on and owned a cattle and grain ranch out west. Cowboy boots are a nesscessity, not a luxury. It is really difficult to ride a horse while wearing sneakers, and it is even more difficult to get traction in mud, or uneven ground in anything else. Most western farmers ranchers and cowboys do wear western boots, and wouldn't wear anything else. High heels forever, ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormie Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's downright dangerous to ride a horse in trainers, the trainer can slip right into the stirrup and trap your foot which is a major problem should you fall off, as you'd get dragged. Hence riding boots have heels, although the heels are higher on cowboy boots. If you are too open-minded your brains will fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 That is why heels were invented. They went from leather stirrups to steel ones around the begining of the 17th century.
