Cross post from a western boot group about high heel boots

[Rockpup]

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!!!

Hello JimC,

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.

Ouch, that's really hard stuff for me with my average high school education in english

Nevertheless a very amusing contribution - especially the reasoning about (fe!!!)male cowboy walking

Actually the group membership is restricted to men. (though how they really tell is unknown)

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.

[Stormie]

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.

[Dr. Shoe]

That is why heels were invented. They went from leather stirrups to steel ones around the begining of the 17th century.
