IRRESISTIBLE COWBOY BOOTS
Cowboy boots are said to have been introduced to America by conquistadors from Spain in the early 16th century. Leather boots have been worn by riders for centuries, with variations depending on cultures and countries.
Very common in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas in the 19th century. This fashion has since spread throughout the United States and South America. More recently, it has finally arrived in Europe and France.
Long considered a masculine accessory, women have nevertheless managed to make this santiag shoe their own, perfectly fitting their feet for an irresistibly sexy look.
THE COWBOYS' FAVORITE WESTERN BOOTS
The traditional cowboy boot extends at least to mid-calf and is often decorated with flaps and ornaments. Genuine cowboy boots have a slanted heel 2 to 3 cm high and were designed to withstand long hours on horseback. The toe, which is generally pointed or rounded, serves to support a horse’s misstep.
Men’s western boots are perfect for the ranch, rodeo, or simply for a western look. They come in a variety of models, including square-toe cowboy boots and round-toe cowboy boots, and are available in many types, materials, and colors.
The styles of santiags have evolved since western boots became popular with American cowboys nearly 200 years ago. Despite fashion changes, the most popular western boot style remains the classic men’s cowboy boot with a beveled heel.

Our range of santiags is unmatched with types of leather and premium materials, as well as more affordable models. We have high-end and trendy western boots, and casual western boots for everyday wear, perfect to dress up any look.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when trying on boots to ensure they fit perfectly. First, wear the appropriate socks, which are usually boot socks. Then, make sure the sole of your foot is in the widest part of the cowboy boot once you have it on. By applying slight pressure on the top of the shoe, the boots should feel immediately comfortable. The leather stretches a bit with use, but the boots should feel like they were made for you. Place your thumb horizontally on the tip of the boot to check the length. The size is correct if your big toe is just below your thumb. When you walk, you should feel about a quarter to half an inch of pressure on your feet.
OUR BOOTS FOR COUNTRY FANS
Country dance enthusiasts are not left out with us, as we know a good pair of country boots is essential for dancing well for hours.
Know that there are several types of cowboy boots, each with its own look. From the classic model to Rodeos and Buckaroos, there is a style for everyone.
The classic boot usually has a shaft about 30 centimeters high and a Cuban-style heel, meaning it is slanted inward. In the past, this model fit perfectly into the stirrup.
The “Rodeo” model is designed for rodeos rightfully and has a lower shaft. The toe is also more rounded and the heel closer to that of a classic boot.
The Stockman model looks a lot like the classic look. However, it has a shorter and wider heel.
Buckaroos are perhaps the flashiest of all. They are tall, with a shaft measuring over 35 centimeters, and often have bold decorations on it. This model was originally made to protect the legs; their name refers to the famous vaqueros, but now they mainly serve to be noticed, because indeed with Buckaroos on your feet you never go unnoticed.
