Cowboy boots means confidence, especially if you don't live in the south or the West. The thing is though, there's lots of people who want to wear them but don't have the confidence. Stop worrying what people think.

I had to get over that hurdle. I’ve worn boots for most of my life, and had wanted a pair of cowboy boots for years. My dad has worn them for longer than I’ve been alive, but I didn’t feel like I could pull them off. A couple years ago I said fuck it, I’m getting a pair. It made sense because I was in school for welding and kept burning laces on lace up boots, so I had an excuse. Once I pulled them on for the first time I stopped caring. I wear them every day now, unless I’m doing something that requires more specific footwear (hunting and hiking in rough terrain needs a bit more ankle support). Sadly I can’t wear them at work since we require lace up boots at my company, but I put them on as soon as I kick my work boots off

Cowboy boots actually became part of my identity. I remember walking into my first day of highschool back in 2009ish and wearing my cowboy boots. The kids in my school had never seen anything like it so I got heckled a lot. Still wore my boots everyday, and the heckling stopped when the kids realized I didn’t care what they thought. That was also around the time the country music craze started to come around and all the girls were into it, and eventually other guys would wear boots too. My nickname ‘Boots’ still follows me well over a decade later. Of course I still wear my boots.

Actually, the cowboy boot, like cowboys, was a thing introduced to the US by Mexico. As vaqueros predate cowboys by almost 100yrs. Remember, Texas to California, and up through Colorado to Nevada was Mexico first. We adapted the ways and wisdom of the vaquero to our own needs and style, and shared those adaptations with them. Both the cowboy and vaquero evolved together and separately simultaneously.

If you really want to get their attention, make sure to wear the Wranglers, a long sleeved Wrangler shirt buttoned up, and a buckaroo hat. On a cool day you can add a Filson vest.

I'm late to seeing this great video. For me, its a nostalgic connection to my dad who wore his boots and Stetson hat every day. He was very much that person who was respectful, kind and generous, but also at times had to put his foot down. Now I also love the look and comfort. I don't care if I look different. TFS

I’m 17 and I live in England, I’ve wanted a pair for so long they just look so comfortable and they’re the kinda thing you can keep for years due to their quality and make and everything, but I’m scared to wear any because I know no one around here has any and I’d get strange looks from people

You might get some weird looks but there are places in the U.S. where I get weird looks too haha! No matter where you go people, will have opinions about you. The important thing is that YOU do what YOU want with YOUR life. If that includes wearing boots, go for it. There are some other boot wearers I know in England.

Cowboy boots are quite practical when riding a motorcycle. As someone who rode a motor cycle to a business where the other workers were trying figure out where to park in the Volvo? Well did get few jabs. That is until I told them it only takes 20 minutes for a 15 mile ride for me to get to work on the 405. Then I took them off and took my penny loafers out of the drawer in my desk. Removed my coveralls. Hung my suit coat up. Straitened my tie. Went work doing my IT support job. They also had a shine that would make the 1st SGT smile.

BadZipness If you’re in Oklahoma, look into some boot brands with some history of bootmaking. Nothing against Tecovas, but if you’re traveling to the US to a state with a ranching/cowboying history, you can do better. Go to boot stores, ask questions, and try on a bunch of boots.
