First things first, most cowboys did and still dowear cowboy boots. The main reasons for wearing boots is because they aid in horse back riding. They are thick and tough, so they are perfect for walking around in rugged country or doing work. They were also a symbol of the American cowboy. They made a cowboy who he was. His boots told his story, not to mention they look cool!

Spurs are used for what they sound like- to spur the horse on or urge him to keep moving. They serve the same purpose as a riding whip. The rider digs his spur into the horses side. . Fancy spurs are worn for dress.

Spurs had another function then digging into your horse to go faster. In desert country like Arizona and Mexico border spurs were worn to protect a cowboy from scorpions and tarantulas by sliceing them with your boot heel buzz saw!
