Despite its iconic status in modern fashion culture, cowboy boots originally served a purely functional purpose. In the 1930s and 1940s, the shoe lost its practical purpose. Arising from its strong association with Hollywood films with actors and actresses such as John Wayne and Wendy Waldron sporting the style, the cowboy boot transformed into a popular culture symbol. Then, in the early 2000s, the cowboy boot had another cultural revival. The shoes were a popular choice among pop singers and became intertwined with country music culture, an association that still lingers today.
