What is it about BOOT LEATHER up to the knees that turns us on? Yeah, we know. It's a power and authority thing. But why?
High riding boots were not originally a fashion statement. They were designed to protect the second most vulnerable part of a warrior's body in combat. Screw up any part of him from his feet to his knees and you've pretty well taken him out as a threat. So we're talking ARMOR here.
Cavalrymen have always been those who volunteered to take the highest risks in combat and thus deserved the highest respect. The high boots they wore as armor came to symbolize an elite masculine warrior class. THAT HIGH LEATHER STILL CARRIES AN AURA...A MIX OF GUTS and AUTHORITY.
IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SOAKED IN TESTOSERONE.
OK. SURE! WE know that most guys who pull on boots today don't necessarily plan to ride in harm's way, but somehow, that boot leather still sends the same message, man! RESPECT IS DUE!
Our exclusive REAL MEN WEAR RIDING BOOTS POSTINGS (the images below are part of edition 8) are the largest collection of men in riding boots posted anywhere on the WEB! We dedicate it all to REAL MEN who have the real big balls required to o mount up for competition that puts them for real in harm's way. We celebrate them in action in their HIGH LEATHER!
WHOA, MAMA! THEY DO TURN US ON! |
