Cowboy boots
Cowboy boots are the epitome of Western culture; they practically symbolizing
ruggedness and hard work. Cowboy footwear is made from leather and known
for its long life¬–able to withstand years of trudging through
mud, rock or anything that the prairie can throw at it.
Cowboy boots are made of leather from many types of animals, including:
• Alligator
• Snake
• Ostrich
• Eel
• Elephant
Leather is the most durable material, but some people don’t believe
in using animals as fashion. There are plenty of companies that specialize
in “vegetarian shoes” that make pleather (plastic that looks
like leather) footwear. Pleather cowboy boots give the wearer the unique
Western look without harming any animals.
