Benefits of technology

The patent describes a spur stability system for a boot that helps prevent the spur from moving when it is attached to the boot. The system includes a strap stability structure that is attached to both the boot and the spur. This structure helps to resist motion of the spur strap when the spur is attached to the boot. The system can also include an abrasion-resistant toe region that protects the toe region of the boot from damage. The strap stability structure is made from a material with a high coefficient of static friction with the spur strap to ensure a secure attachment. The system can also include a spur rest that supports the yoke of the spur. Overall, the system improves the stability and safety of the boot when wearing spurs.

Problems solved by technology

While a wearer is riding a horse, the spurs may move and / or translate relative to the wearer's boot, thereby decreasing their effectiveness.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Throughout this description for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the many embodiments disclosed herein. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the many embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in diagram or schematic form to avoid obscuring the underlying principles of the described embodiments.

[0017]Western-style and equestrian boots often use spurs, which are tools that can be mechanically attached or coupled to a boot, and positioned for engaging and / or directing a horse. Spurs generally have a yoke that wraps partially around a rear portion of the boot and that is attached to the boot by one or more straps. The yoke, or yoke straps, can be further secured to the boot through the use of a spur stability system, constructed into the exterior structure of the boot. In various embod...

Abstract

Boots with spur stability systems are disclosed herein. A spur stability system can be configured to couple with a boot having an upper and an outsole, where the spur stability system includes at least one strap stability structure that is configured to resist motion of a spur strap relative to the boot when a spur is operatively attached to the boot with the spur strap. The spur stability system can have an upper strap coupled to the spur, in contact with at least one stability structure on the external surface of the upper. The spur stability system can additionally have a lower strap coupled to the spur, in contact with at least one stability structure on the external surface of the outsole.
