I usually don't bother with boots because they're tedious to put on and I don't roll my ankle in trail runners etc. That said, are cowboy boots ok for /out/? I'm guessing it's blistertown, but at least they must be fast and easy to wear?
>>2874919No
>>2874919Those are designed for working on flat turf or bare dirt.
>>2874946Lol.Not even that.Theyre designed for stirups while you sit in a saddle for an hour then spend 4 minutes on the ground mending a barbed wire fence then youre back in the saddle.The one thing theyre NOT designed for is walking.
>>2874953Ropers are for the ground/pen. Cowboy boots are for riding/stirrups.
>>2874919>I don't roll my ankle in trail runners etcyou don't roll your ankles YETalso cuff height has no effect on ankle stabilitylet me type it againCUFF HEIGHT HAS NO EFFECT ON ANKLE STABILITYyou are only wearing high top hikers because your grandparents didlow cut approach shoes are better in literally 90% of usecases>inb4 muh winteryes high cuffs are nice in winter, that's why I said 90%>>2874953>Theyre designed for stirups while you sit in a saddle for an hour then spend 4 minutes on the groundno they are made for walking
>>2875438>no they are made for walkingThey havent changed in design for 200 years.Theyre a sandal with an upper.Theyre horrible from a podiatry standpoint and cause massive issues ranging from bunions to fallen arches to pinched spinal nerves.Saying that theyre "for walking" is like saying an ox is for "plowing fields".Technically correct but archaic and outdated to the point of being dangerous compared to moderm alternatives.
>>2874919They're like wellies really, but wellies are objectively nicer
>>2875442>podiatryis a memeyou probably wear mid or high top hiking boots and you're lecturing on footwear
