HOW TO WEAR COWBOY BOOTS ?
A symbol of Western culture, cowboy boots were first worn by herdsmen of cows and bulls in the 15th century before being popularised in the United States in the 20th century. Western films put these iconic shoes on the map before they were gradually adopted by women. Today, the cowboy boot has become a real city boot which adds spice to any outfit. Here are some tips for wearing it stylishly.
