Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

It's a "pictorial guide to fancy footgear," states Texas Monthly. The Cowboy Boot Book has it all--history, anatomy, leathers, fit, care, makers, sellers, and famous wearers--even a glossary of boot terms for the novice. Beard's anecdotes and Texas charm will keep you entertained; Arndt's heart-stopping photos will keep you enthralled. The recent renaissance of artful bootmaking will keep this selling.

Excerpt provided by Syndetics

Introduction Cowboy boots are, without question, America's most recognized fashion contribution to the world, outdistancing even blue jeans. While maneuvering into a pair of boots early in the morning, most of us are struck with a vision of our horses patiently waiting, tied to a rail, shaking off the trail dust from the day before. We breezily walk out the door to the jingle-jangle of spurs as we enter our own make-believe mirage of the West.
