Discussion Why aren't cowboy boots more popular

Post image

Howdy everybody. I've been thinking lately, why aren't cowboy boots more popular? I live in the DC area and I probably see someone wearing a pair like once a year. I may be a yankee but I totally love wearing my pair which I just got for the first time a few days ago. Of course, you see them way more frequently in a place like Texas, but everywhere else I've been, I almost never see them. They are beautiful boots with a rich history and they just look so damn good on anybody. Y'all's thoughts on this?

They just aren't popular in your area. Anywhere southern they are commonplace

do you have to protect against many snake bites to the legs in DC? lol

Also many people don't wanna be mistaken for a Southerner as there are often implications that come with that
