Cowboy boots custom made for President Harry S. Truman by Tony Lama Boots. Cowboy boots are a specific style of riding boot, historically worn by cowboys. [1] They have a high heel [broken anchor] that is traditionally made of stacked leather, rounded to pointed toe, high shaft, and, traditionally, no lacing.
The pointy boots are made by elongating the toe of normal boots by as much as 5 feet (1.5 m), causing the toes to curl up toward the knees. The boots are then further modified according to the wearer's personal taste. Alterations incorporate paint and sequins and can go as far as adding flashing LEDs, disco balls, and mirrors. [1] [2]

The feature that gives both the boot and shoe their name is the very sharp and long pointed toe, reminiscent of medieval poulaines and approximately the same as the long pointed toes on some women's high-fashion shoes and boots in the 2000s. They are still popular in the goth, raggare and rockabilly subcultures.
Cowboy boots originated in the 1800s in the plains and desert of the midwest and far Western United States, however they were inspired by the vaquero-style boot bought from Spain to the Americas in the 1600s. Cowboy boots are traditionally tall and hide the calf, which is meant to help keep the foot firmly in the stirrup to keep it firmly anchored.
