Buddy, WHAT IS UP WITH THE POINTY BOOTS?

Now I need to do research on this curly toed cowboy boot phenomina. Like an reporter on 60 Minutes I will get to the truth. How the hell does a trend like this start in the first place?

Who was the first guy to do this and why did it have such an impact on the other guys around him? Is anyone surprised that such a thing has remained a local trend and not gone viral? It's the kind of foolishness that usually become a big hit with the kids - for all the ten minutes that the fad lasts.

You really need a lot of guys around you saying this is a good look to ever attempt it yourself. No one wants to be goofed on for dressing stupid.


Shoemaker Dario Calderon described a client known only as 'Cesar of Huizache', who showed him a cellphone picture of a sequinned cowboy boot with pointy toes so long, they curled up toward the knees. He wanted a pair, but with longer toes.

Mr Calderon, who is more used to making cowboy boots, said: 'I thought, "What's up with this dude?

He explained how the boot in the photo measured 60 centimetres (23 inches) 'but we made him a pair that were 90 centimetres (35 inches) long.'

The next thing Mr Calderon knew, everyone wanted the bizarre pointy boots, from young boys attending church ceremonies to teenagers for nights out at the local disco.


He should have been run out of the county on a rail because this is not fashion. The only way that guys would submit to this look is because the ladies like it. Impressing women is the reason for all ridiculous male behavior in this world.

Dancing in such outlandish footwear is no mean feat.

Francisco Garcia, 18, of the Los Primos dance crew, revealed: 'There are some steps where you have to cross your feet and throw yourself to the ground and you can't do that with the pointy boots.'
For others, though, it's worth the effort, as the unlikely trend is become something of a babe-magnet according to one young fan.

University student Pascual Escobedo, 20, said: 'At the beginning I didn't like them very much, but the girls wouldn't dance with you if you weren't wearing pointy boots.' Housewife Laura Soto, 36, added: 'The boots makes them look more sexy because you can tell they are daring.'


So let's sum up. If you live in this region of  Mexico, the only way you will get a woman is to impress her with your length of your boot curl and your chicken dancing skills - just as nature intended.

The only thing worse than these guys dancing like fools is that there are actually people in the stands (!) watching this spectacle.  Is that part of Mexico so devoid of activities to do that 'pointy boot dancing' competitions become the choice for a night out? Do you see now what happens when you don't have enough in your town to entertain people? They leave their houses and get into all kinds of goofy mischief.

I just assumed such pictures were photoshopped jokes.

Weird aint it? As you point out it tends to be a somewhat local thing the rest of the world considers a joke. What possible benefit could they be? Do they hide the deformed feet of an Alien invasion?
