The feet is a very important part of the human body. It is also the most used, apart from our hands. With our feet, we can jump to reach high places. We can hop and leap over obstacles. We can climb the stairs to get to another part of the house, school, office, or any building. We can use it to flee or to fight as well.
All of these makes one appreciate the strength of those who can not use their feet. They will have to go to places by other means, and with the help of other people. This is a good time, as any other, to be thankful that you can still wear and use various foot apparel such as slippers, sandals, shoes, and toggi boots.
A boot is a specific type of footwear. Typically, they cover the foot and the ankle and extend to the leg. Some boots even reach as high as the knee. They also typically have that very distinguishable heel even if the entire sole was made from one piece of material only.
Originally, they were used by those who work around horses. They were then called riding boots and are usually made of leather. Some reach the knee, some only reach mid calf. They feature different types of catch for them to be closed around the foot. The really dressy ones are laced up. Those who can not be bothered by such intricacies use those that have zippers at the back.
Under the rider category, jodphurs are absolutely popular. The typical appearance of this kind of riding boot is the rounded toe. It is fastened in place with a wraparound strap that locks into a buckle. Aside from the jodphur, other rider types can be zipped up, laced tight, or a combination of both.
Cowboy boots can be quite high, but not as high as those intended for horse enthusiasts. Whereas the riding counterpart is made primarily of leather, cowboy ones are not. They also tend to be more colorful and can have varied designs. Most bear insignias, American flags, and paisley patterns. They also come in all sort of colors that reflect the fun personality of most country folk.
Wellington types were named so because they were popularized by the first Duke of Wellington. Today, they are more commonly known as rubber boots.

Mules are a cross between sandals and shoes. They are closed of in front but totally open at the rear.

Mules are also known as half shoes. They have closed front appearances, just like a slipper, and yet they are open at the back, like a slipper. They were avoided by most because they were originally linked to prostitutes, but are now socially acceptable. Chaps, in an altogether different light, are leather coverings used mainly by cowgirls and boys. They are worn over the pants to protect them when riding out on a horse.
