Cowboys herding cattle across U.S. territories after the American Civil War realized they needed boots that were different from common boot styles of their times. Neither war, carriage or field-style boots served well during long hours as riders navigated brush and brambles, creeks and rivers months at a time.

The shoemaker cobbled together a knee-high design, to protect its wearer's legs from...
