Embodiment Construction

[0018] This invention is a unique combination of a distinctively designed heel 10 of a boot 12 and a distinctively designed detachable spur 14, each including one component of a two-component coupling 16. As best shown in FIGS. 3A and 4, the two-component coupling 16 comprises a male component 16a on the proximal end 14a of the spur 14 and a female component 16b in the heel 10. The heel 10 has a height of at least 1.0 inches, and typically has a height from 1.0 inches to 4.5 inches. The spur 14 typically has a length L from 2.5 to 4 inches. The female component 16b is nearby, preferably as close as practically possible, the junction J between the heel and the upper leg section 12a of the boot 12 a distance d (FIG. 1) of at least about 0.75 inch from a bottom 10b of the heel 10.

[0019] The spur 14 has shank 20 that extends between the spur's distal end 14a and proximal end 14b. The shank 20 is bent at an intermediate point p' between the distal end 14a and proximal end 14b, causing th...

Abstract

A boot includes a heel with a rear side having embedded therein one component of a two-component coupling member. A detachable spur has a distal end with a barb element thereat and a proximal end with a second component of the two-component coupling member. The second component is detachably connected to the one component, with the distal end projecting outward from the heel to position the barb element for use while riding.
