Vintage 1950s Cowboy Boots with Original Charro Parade Spurs – Men’s 9.5
This rare pair of 1950s cowboy boots is a distinctive example of Western craftsmanship, blending American cowboy tradition with the ornate heritage of Mexican charro culture. Made for a men’s US size 9.5, the boots feature richly detailed leatherwork, including bold inlays of sombrero-wearing charros set against a background of warm brown leather. The vamp is decorated with classic flame stitching, typical of mid-century Western styling.
Adding significant historical value are the original charro parade spurs that accompany the boots. These are not mismatched or decorative additions—they were used with these very boots by the original owner. The spurs are mounted with embossed leather straps and detailed silver-toned conchos, leading to large floral rowels. Their intricate design reflects their ceremonial purpose: used not for riding, but for formal occasions and parade display, as part of the elegant tradition of the Mexican charreada.
Together, the boots and spurs reflect a deep cultural blend that was especially prominent in the post-war American Southwest. This was a time when cowboy gear began to take on a more stylized, personalized flair, and regional influences—particularly from Mexican vaquero traditions—were integrated into ranch and rodeo life.
These boots are in excellent vintage condition with minor wear appropriate to their age. The leather remains supple, the stitching strong, and the spurs fully intact and functional. This is a truly collectible set—not just vintage Western wear, but an artifact of a specific time and place in cowboy history.
