Dad calls those square toed boots quackers because they look like ducks feet.I like the square toes that got popular in the seventies. These new square toes are dead dog ugly. And I like riding heels too.

Semi-custom boot maker here https://beckboots.com/ Can order off the shelf or select options including an undershot riding heel and spur ledge. No real pointy toes. I'm partial to the wide square toes myself - more room for my toes and better for straight on kicking field goals.In my experience western bar fights are greatly enjoyed from a distance.
I looked at those buckeroo boots for sale at Long Creek Outfitter. Yes the square toes look horrible. Round toes look funny too. What ever happened to pointy toe cockroach killers? You could easily find your stirrups with those.
Only the men's buckeroos had the stacked leather riding heels where you could rest a spur. Womens are 12" tall and had 1 1/2" plastic heels and most as gaudy as a carnival show.
What is with these 16" tall boots? What are you supposed to do? Tuck your pants legs in? Seems like that would be those going to gay bars.
I actually like those tall tops. When I went off to basic training I wore my cowboy boots and hat. Needless to say I stuck out like a sore thumb. At my AIT there was a black city kid that could not understand how I could walk in those boots. Standing next to them the tops came above my knees. Those high tops really blew his mind; probably the first time he ever met a country boy. I can't remember his exact words any more, but he kept going round and round on how he couldn't under how I could wear them boots.In my experience western bar fights are greatly enjoyed from a distance.

I bet it did. Dad has had a broken collarbone, leg, arm, ribs and a foot; you name it he probably broke it. The foot happened when he was ride for Greaves out on the Red Desert; he had a horse fall on him. He had just gotten a new pair of boots just before that happened and he told Duane to pull that boot off no matter how much he yelled. He was not going to have a doctor cut off that brand new boot. Dad even had his ear kicked off, it was just dangling by a piece of skin; they sewed it back on and he was good as new. Uncle Duane broke both bones in his leg at Cheyenne Frontier Days. I vagally remember his hobbling around; his ex wife left him while he was laid up.
Every single item I wore or took to boot camp got boxed up within the 1st hour or 2 and sent back home, and I mean down to and including underwear and socks (except 1 religious book such as a bible and maybe a religious piece of jewelry like a cross and ya better not let that cross be seen outside your tee shirt unless ya wanted it ripped right off from around your neck by the DI)When I went off to basic training I wore my cowboy boots and hat.
Never in my life have I ever been guilty of wearing pants inside my boots except tall rubber waders. Yep, got lots of mud and cow shite on my jeans cuffs but some things ya just don't do.Oh that is a terrible wreck.
Are the 16" boots worn with the pants tucked in? I used to ride in 12" cowboy boots but the pants were not tucked in. I have tall English riding boots and they are worn pants leg tucked in.
Mine was put in storage until the end of basic, I was told not to wear the cowboy hat on the bus ride from Fort Jackson to Fort Gordon. After the first two weeks at my AIT we were allowed to wear our civilian clothes. Once I got done with my AIT I went back to my National Guard Unit in Northwest Colorado.Every single item I wore or took to boot camp got boxed up within the 1st hour or 2 and sent back home, and I mean down to and including underwear and socks (except 1 religious book such as a bible and maybe a religious piece of jewelry like a cross and ya better not let that cross be seen outside your tee shirt unless ya wanted it ripped right off from around your neck by the DI)
My folks had an old guy name'a Zip that helped around the ranch and he lived in a sheep camp. He trained horses and mules, and he had two mules that pulled his camp. He sported the longest mustaches I ever saw, twisted tight with wax to each side and tilted up at a 45 degree angle. And he wore the tallest boots I've ever seen with his pants tucked inside.It sure seems to me that no one except drug store cowboys wear their pants inside their boots. But I'm reading Horse Tradin' by Ben Green which is surely about real cowboys and this is the first picture in the first chapter.

This is supposed to be him at age 16. The mare is not dead. He traded some gypsys for her and as soon as girthed up she would lay down and refuse to get up. Note boots.
My husband knew guys in south Texas riding pastures so dense they had to shoot cows with rat shot to get them out.
I've seen lots of real cowboys with pants legs tucked in, that's even how Gus McRae wore em. Around here you'll see lot's of cowboys and farmers wearing their boots with pants in them, not tucked in, more of just put the boots on and didn't take the time to pull the legs down over them. I do that pretty regularly, just grab my boots and pull them on.It sure seems to me that no one except drug store cowboys wear their pants inside their boots.

$183.00 for a rubber boot??? Did I read that right? Even my swear word vocabulary is a little stunned into silence at that price...Check this out. A new type of cowboy rubber muck boot that has riding heels. The Quantro Ranchero. Give this link enough time to load the picture.
