Highlights of a Roper Boot:

The major striking feature of it is the comfort level for first
time wearers because of the round shaped, lowered heel size and makes it easy
for getting in and out of a saddle stirrup. This helped preventing a cowboy
from being dragged about as the weight of his body would help pull his foot
out in case he fell off while the boot got stuck.
