cowboy boots image by Alexey Klementiev from Fotolia.com Western boots come in a variety of styles.The Western boot likely evolved from adaptations of European riding boots and calvary boots worn by soldiers during the Civil War. Western cattlemen during the mid- to late-1800s sought boots appropriate to their occupations--boots that would offer support, durability and protection from brush and cactus and that would help them get in and out of the saddle quickly.Buckaroo Boots
Old worn out cowboy boot image by rider from Fotolia.com Buckaroo boots have high shafts and pull holes as opposed to pull straps.California vaqueros, capable cowboys of Hispanic descent who worked with young, green horses, often wore what came to be called buckaroo boots, as they trained and tended horses in the mid- to late-1800s. Buckaroo boots have tall shafts, some reaching the wearer's knees. The boot's high-reaching shaft provides support and protects legs from thick brush and cactus. They are frequently two-toned and have decorative stitching that runs vertically along the boot shaft and horizontally across its foot. Another notable distinction is the pull holes buckaroo boots feature, rather than the pull straps commonly seen on Western boots.Fashion Boots

As Western boots became more popular, the styles and materials from which they were made grew increasingly more elaborate, making available a wide range of shaft height, heel height, color and design for non-work wear. Western fashion boots frequently have pointier toes than other Western boots and are made from more exotic materials, including alligator, buffalo, eel, elephant, lizard, ostrich and snake skins. Synthetic materials are also used in the construction of Western fashion boots. They range from ankle- to knee-high, and are frequently adorned with two or more colors and an array of decorative stitching.Riding Boots

Riding boots have tall shafts that protect legs from brush and tack-inflicted tweaks. On average, heels are 2 inches high and angled to keep riders' feet from sliding entirely through the stirrup. These boots also have smooth, leather soles made for quick, easy exits, should the need arise. Styles of Western riding boots vary, but most are scalloped around the top and have pull straps to facilitate their donning. Riding boot toes are frequently narrowed to make it easier for riders to slide into stirrups.Ropers

The heels are low, normally around 1 inch high. Ropers have a low shaft, sitting just above the ankle, and angled heels, which are designed to make a rider's sprint toward a roped calf easier. Ropers commonly have rounded toes, but some styles have squared toes. One version of ropers has lace-up fronts, a device that enhances the boot's fit but could become a hazard if the ride gets rough.Work Boots

They normally have treaded soles and are made of cowhide, a durable and affordable boot material. Work boots tend to be fairly simple in style, brown or black in color and lacking elaborate stitchwork. Many work boots have cushioning to help absorb impact from walking and working for extended periods.
