| Though usually made from cowhide leather, more exotic forms of cowboy boots can also be made from alligator, buffalo, lizard, eel, elk, elephant, snake, ostrich and even stingray skins. Most types of work boots are actually lace-ups made from leather or shod with hobnails and heel and toe plates. Boots were initially designed to be tough, working shoes. “Dr. Martens” or “Doc Martens” or “Docs” come with the characteristic air-cushioned soles, which have given it the name “Bouncing Soles”. |
