Cowboy Boots

Cowboy boots are a specific type of riding boot. They are tall and usually made of leather. They come in two styles. There are ropers, which lace up.

Was there such things as cowboy BOOTS in the 1800s?

Certainly there were cowboy boots in the 1800's - maybe not as stylish as the ones you can buy today but they were borne of necessity, not style. The pointed toe makes it easy to get your foot into the stirrup; the tall undercut heel keeps your foot from getting stuck through the stirrup where you could get dragged if you got thrown and your foot became caught. The instep was loose enough that your foot would pull out of the boot, in case it did get caught in the stirrup, so that you wouldn't get dragged by your horse.

Cowboys made it a practice to never walk anyplace where they could ride. Cowboy boots were not designed for comfortable walking. As cowboys were averse to being on foot they spent the vast majority of their time on horseback. It has been said that for that reason their feet tended to stay a bit smaller and narrower than if they were walking or standing all day.

What is the difference between a riding heel and a walking heel on cowboy boots?

A riding heel tends to be a bit wider and about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches high depending on the boot. Fashion boots usually have more narrow and taller heels. They also don't provide the right foot bed or support systems that real riding boots do either. And again fashion boots are made of of a more flimsy material that won't hold up as well.
