How to Wear Cowboy Boots

There are several ways to wear this versatile footwear. In this video I show you how quite a few number of people who wear cowboy boots, wear them.
In short, there is no "right way" to wear cowboy boots. It is all up to preference, wear what you like and wear it with confidence!

Two places it's acceptable to tuck your pants into your boots: out in a pasture waddling through feces, and on the streets of San Francisco... Waddling through feces.

just to let y’all know, wearing cowboy boots is not posing. its real protective against snake bites, and cowboy hats protect the whole head from the sun.

[@master_illitrix]

Snake fangs can pierce most cowboy boot leather, unless the boots are specifically designed to resist snake bites

As a black farmer and cowboy hat and boot wearing person 7 days a week your absolutely correct

[@aaronburke7676]

@@master_illitrix while some snakes can technically go through leather you also have to consider that they must go through jeans and sock and that there is usually a gap between the wall of the cowboy boot and leg which kinda buffers against bites. In any case their a ton safer then sneakers or hiking boots which have no sidewall at all.

There is a little discussion on this subject: While I agree with his statements, the old school Texas rule was for cattlemen: Apparently the trend was up to so many cattle, you would wear one side of one cuff in your boot... From that number to whatever the next number was, you tucked the same side (inside or outside) of the other cuff in. Long story short, with a LOT of cattle, you would have the leg cuffs fully into both boots... Ens. George Gay, WWII USN pilot, and author of "Sole Survivor" about his experience in WWII(sole survivor of the HORNET detachment of VT-8 at Midway) wrote about this in his book- describing how you could tell how many head of cattle a man had by the way his pants legs were tucked. (George Gay was born & raised in Texas in the 1930s) The other reason for tucking your cuffs on the trail is to keep things from crawling up your leg! Same reason the military "blouses" their boots- it keeps things out of the cuff, and therefore (mostly) away from getting into your pants. (Of course, should you meet a cute cowgirl while wearing your cuffs tucked, it will keep YOU from getting into HER pants as well! Unless you are on the trail, of course...)

so are they rubbing/ chaffing your legs, if so taller socks would probably help reduce the boot from rubbing on your skin.

Tuck your pants into the shafts and it will feel better.

[@ericargo9157]

Posers can be spotted a mile away. Bikers can be the worst...and I'm a life long biker! Western/cowboy boots are a special thing. They actually make you feel stronger and more confident when you wear them. Your gate or stride is also much different than regular shoes. Not everybody can or should wear them...it's the mindset above the neck that will decide if you should or not. Cowboy boots are not a Hollywood fashion accessory in my mind...they are a necessity in my life and I could not imagine living without them. Cool channel. I subscribed.

You typically only tuck them in if you're working on a ranch or farm where you get full of mud and dirt. Im talking that thick ankle high country mud. To sum up.
