Cowboy boot cover

Abstract

Boot covers are created as a way to change the way a cowboy boot looks by covering the worn out or old shaft with a decorative cover that is easily pulled on and taken off. This is a practical way to make boots seem new again if they are worn out and old. The boot covers, made of stretch fabric, are worn along with the cowboy boot and a heel strap unit. The heel strap unit made of stretch fabric provides stability to the boot cover with the cowboy boot. Stretch fabric allows for the boot cover to be pulled directly over the cowboy boot for a snug and proper fit without any hooks, or other attachments to fit well. The stretch fabric is then secured at the bottom of the boot with the heel strap unit which snaps closed on the exterior side of the elongated hollow shaft unit.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a panel for wearing apparel and in particular, to a fabric and alternative material design cover for a cowboy boot.BACKGROUND[0002]Cowboy boots refer to a specific style of riding boot, historically worn by cowboys. The boot has a Cuban heel, rounded to pointed toe, high shaft, and, traditionally, no lacing. There are two basic styles of cowboy boots, western (or classic), and roper. The classic style is distinguished by a tall boot shaft, going to at least mid-calf, with an angled “cowboy” heel, usually over one inch high. A slightly lower, still angled, “walking” heel is also common. Although western boots can be customized with a wide variety of toe shapes, the classic design is a narrowed, usually pointed, toe. Since cowboys generally tend cattle on ranches, traditionally on horseback, and often perform a multitude of other ranch related tasks, the possibility of wearing out their boots becomes high. Once the boots are wor...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to change the way a cowboy boot looks by easily pulling on and taking off boot covers. The boot covers are a practical way to make boots seem new again if they are worn out and old. The boot covers are a fraction of the cost and an easy way to increase the life of existing boots. The boot covers are worn along with the cowboy boot using a heel strap. The heel strap unit holds the boot cover in place and ensures a snug and proper fit without any hooks or attachments. The heel strap unit is stable and takes minimal space when stored. The present invention provides a practical solution to the problem of cowboy boots being relatively large and consuming a lot of closet space.

Problems solved by technology

Since cowboys generally tend cattle on ranches, traditionally on horseback, and often perform a multitude of other ranch related tasks, the possibility of wearing out their boots becomes high.

Once the boots are worn out or old, the appeal or the look of the boot may not be good.

Since boots are very expensive, it may not be a good decision to buy a new pair of boots.

A problem with this solution is that refurbishing by a professional is expensive and recurring.

Problem with covering the cowboy boot with the knitted-or fur-based products or “Hugs” or other minimal jewelery-type option would be that it negates the overall appeal or look of the cowboy boot.
