What type of boots should I wear for a Western Horsemanship Lesson?
justin blue’s will be fine as long as they are comfortable.take some 60 grit sandpaper and sand the wax off the soles of the boot(the bottom where the ball of your foot is)so they dont slip in the sturrup.the toe you are talking about is called a “j toe”and is more of a fashion statement than anything else.you can usually tell what part of the country a cowboy is from by the type of boot he wears and the type of hat he wears.pointed toes were traditionaly used by “vaqueros” in california,nevada,new mexico,colorado and arizona because of the low lying brush.the toe wouldnt get caught in the sage brush and scrub oak but would cut through it so your horse wouldnt get spurred as easily.
