    As a ranch worker/farmer who doesn't ride horses. Square toe is by far the most comfortable boot style. I have passed out in my boots many times after a hot summer day's work, waiting on dinner. I always know new boots fits right when I wake up from a cat nap, and forget my boots are still on, they feel as comfortable as house slippers when they are right

    I started wearing round toe cowboy boots when I was in high school, stopped wearing them for awhile, then got back into wearing them, but started wearing J toe boots. Since then, I went back to wearing round toe and medium round toe boots again and then started wearing snip toe boots. Like many other guys, I wasn't a fan of square toe boots, but that changed after I got my first pair. Now I love and own many different toe style boots, a couple different heel styles, as well as many different skins. I absolutely love wearing cowboy boots. If more guys would try wearing them, they may understand why those of us who already wear them, actually wear and love them.

    Great breakdown of the square toe boot. I quit wearing boots altogether because my feet hurt too much in the point of the toe bunched together. Sketchers brand shoes started a trend of squared end styling to their shoes a few years back and I found them extremely comfortable. I think I might have to give square toed boots a try.

    The first cowboy boots had a tapered square to as jetmobile stated. The also had a tall (around 2”) heel with a spur shelf. The shaft was also tall, somewhere around 18”. And the top of the shaft was even all the way around. No cuts as modern day boots have. Every part of the cowboy boot was designed for a specific purpose.

Dan Post told me about two years ago that it has been eleven years since the Dan Post El Paso brand.

    The truth is that those "square toe" boots that look like skin diving flippers with the corners rounded off are great for getting to shore if your horse throws you into the river and that's all they're good for. If your toes are really spread out that much, you need to have a couple of them on each foot amputated.

    My first pair of boots back on 24th September 1994 was a pair of Tony Mora nubuck square-toed boots. Living in Ireland, there wasn't many options for boots back then, but my next couple of pairs were Sendra square-toed boots. Then I moved on to Loblan 295 wide-square toes, and the narrower square toe. From there I moved on to Loblan 548 style with a kinda chisel/snip toe - but relatively narrow square to. I've had a pair of Tony Lama 3R square toes (which I was thoroughly unimpressed with), and a pair of Boulet Buckaroo 17" shaft, with a wide - but flat - square toe. I really liked the Boulets but they were an E sizing, so I had some loose play to contend with. I want to get a pair of Boulet Stovepipe "Shooter" boots, but I'm kinda tempted to go with the round toe this time, instead of the square toe...

    Pointed toe boots don't squeeze toes by default it's all in the sizing. I've found that much of this myth has come from stores and companies not educating their customers so many people get the wrong size to begin with. Happened to me too. I had my toes cramped for years and thought that was just the way it was but once I got the right size and width I realized toe shape does not correlate to comfort when you have the correct size. That being said, square toes are the most forgiving if you have the wrong size which is another reason why companies push them so much

If my toes were comfy, then the boot was too loose and rubbing blisters into my ankles. An old roommate of mine let me borrow a pair of their boots once and they were square toed. I swear that was the most comfortable my foot had ever felt in a boot so i ginally bought some. Now I wear my square toed boots every day. I don't care what they look like. I have sensitive feet, I care how comfortable my foot is.

    I totally understand about the comfort factor of the square toe. In my younger days, for fashion sake, I wore the pointy toe boots. I still have them! But, for comfort sake, I now wear the round toe. In fact, my foot is small enough to wear a child's size 6 and they always have a good arch! Now that I'm much older though, I even put an extra gel cushion inside. Doing retail for 36 years kinda "killed my feet"! Retired now, so I can relax! Enjoyed the video. People should just wear what they, but if you want comfort, go square or round!

    I used to drive cattle to the market about 25 years ago. Most of the drivers wore boots out of the truck. And sandals inside the truck. The cattle were in 60-80 lb boxes. So many drivers wore safety toe boots. Back in the 70's I rode a motorcycle for commuting. I preferred the sqaure toe harness boot for toe room and a taller boot over the calve. I would have bought the riding boots that went over the knee. But I didn't make that much back then. And when I lived on my sister and brother in laws horse ranch. I wore rubber boots, to deal with all the muck! Today, I have the budget to own all types of boots for work or at home. I have both square and round composite safety toe and regular soft toe. I usually were Keen sandals when not on the job or working on my property. But always carry some kind of boot when driving one of my trucks. Because the side off the road can be very hazardous.

    revisiting this after I just bought 2 square toe boots the Boulet 6266 and Double H bison boots. My thing with square toe boots is the extra toe room is very welcomed and just allows for more options for sure and reduces the risk of rubbing or crushing my toes. However, I tend to stay away from the wide wide square toes and while companies will market their square toes as wide there are def differences. I like to think of it as a spade square toe vs a slight taper square toe which is what i see the Boulet and the double H as. Also, the way the welts are done IMO affects the look. Some double stitch welts make the boot look even bigger than it is. I usually shoot for boots with a single stitch welt but if the toe looks good as in not super wide I will get it with the square toe double stitch like the double H's.

    I'm in the saddle at least 5 day's a week, have been for many years. I wear Ariat square toe boots, size 11EE. When your sitting in the saddle 3-4 hours a day, the blood in your legs has a tendency to settle in your feet. It's nice having the wider toe cavity to allow your toes to spread out more. As for the ease of getting your feet in the stirrups easier, if you ride enough that's not even an issue. Wear what's comfortable. Believe me, your horse will notice if your in a bad mood if your feet hurt, and will usually act accordingly.

    Good review. I love round toe, but getting some square toe for comfort since getting round toes to fit great are a pain. I've got one Ariat round toe pair that I had stretched twice and put miles of walking on them. They fit great now and are finally comfortable with thin socks, but I save those for horse riding.

    Here in Brasil there are practically only square toe boots,some ropers and some pointed toes but most of them are square toe's. Brands like Dan Post, Luchese, Abilene and others are like SUPER RARE (I've seen one or two used in my whole life here), they only sell Ariat and Justin for EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE prices (a basic model cost above 1000 reais). In the beginning I hated square toe boots, but after some time I got used to it and now I love them,but pointed toe's and round toe's still own the first place in my heart hahaha

    Jeremiah, I'm CERTAIN square toed boots (I call them Frankenstein boots) are more comfortable. I just can't go there, and doubt I'll be able to. I'm too much into what looks good to me and "tradition". That's why I like buckaroo style boots with a medium round toe, tall tops, and 2"+ heels (Olathe, and your Hondo 2012, 2670, 8504 and 8506 for example). I'm not a working cowboy, but have always liked traditional cowboy stuff. You're right - the whole reason more pointed toes were developed was so the rider could more easily shoot his foot into the oxbow stirrup. Half (medium) round toes were easier to walk in than super pointed ones. The big heels kept your foot from slipping through the stirrup and you getting drug to death. Those boots were made for RIDING, and most old cowboys hated walking in them. Kind of like women in high heeled shoes. Everyone has switched to low heels and square toes. If comfort is the main concern, why didn't we just stick with ropers? Kind of the same thing isn't it? Anyway, that's just me - to each his own....🙂

    I live in West Texas and have square toe boots which I love and I get constant compliments on them (though I prefer round toe). However, what I don't like is that square toe boots (at least here) are the only thing I can buy in store. My city has 7 western clothing stores and in all of them 95% of the boots on the shelf are square toe. Maybe you're right and Texas just has an affinity for square toe boots, but it is pretty annoying.

They have the 7 Toe (or Western Square Toe. Think medium round, but squared for right at the tip) with a 1-1/2” Cowboy Heel. The leather is grey Sanded Shark.They remind me of the old Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns. Love ‘em.

    After many years not wearing cowboy boots, I recently got a pair of all leather boots with the square toe. I preferred the narrow square but could not find any in my price range. Add to that -- I've owned block-toe motorcycle boots before and liked the look. The cowboy square toe is similar in my view. So, I committed to a pair. Wearing them, I can say they look all right. Manly, definitely the cowboy look in every other respect. Mine have the lower heel which I guess is called a "roper heel" (?). I want to wear them extensively and felt that the taller heel would impede that. Long story short -- I expect to keep them. They are pretty cool and comfortable. Now I have to slather all that leather with shoe conditioner -- because these boots have some heavy-duty breaking in yet to happen!

    I just bought my first pair of boots and when I was at the store I couldn't decide on a tapered square or round. I had in my head square toe but actually seeing them on me they looked more like work boots and less feminine to me. I decided on the round toe. I have very small and skinny feet so I don't think I'll have a problem with toe space. It's only been a day and I'm still trying to break them in but so far so good. I still would eventually want to get a tapered square toe and rock the look. :)

    Finding the right toe shape is my biggest problem. Cannot find a pair I like because the toe is too round or too pointed. I much prefer a classic round toe such as a roper toe. Unfortunately most new boots such as ariats are a extra wide round toe. Cannot stand the style which is tough because an Ariat roper/stockman heel works well with my much needed orthotics.

    My main complaint on any cowboy boots is that many manufacture's no longer offer the narrow widths like B. No one carries them in the store anymore. Hondo and Ariat , and others have left me high and dry. They say just add an extra cushion sole. Well that sucks, and is not a true fit. Been wearing boots 60+ years. The square toe is also more awkward walking in tall grass. Narrower toes help part the grass, making it less tiring.

Everything feels right but the heel slip seems more dramatic than I remembered from new boots.
