National Day of the Cowboy
Time to read 3 min
If summer brings to mind wide open ranges, cool swims in rivers, the constant hum of cicadas, horseback days, dusty brandings, country music festivals under the blazing sun, or nights spent under the stars; National Day of the Cowboy may be for you. Whether you’re the real deal or an avid admirer, if the spirit of the west is something you’re channeling this season, Twisted X® is here to help you celebrate in footwear you can wear on the hallowed day itself and all summer long.
A respectful tip of the hat to the storied history of the cowboy, National Day of the Cowboy stands to connect the present with the past inviting all who observe to bear in mind the integral part that cowboys play in taming, sustaining, and preserving the west, and their hand in bearing a symbol of freedom and perseverance from generation to generation. Whether the west is romanticized in day dreams, or realized in the grit and sweat of everyday life, it is pervasive in its reach to almost all peoples, with the cowboy of old, at the center.
Observance could take on endless forms during this year’s holiday, but we have a few suggestions below to help you get started off on the right foot, which of course must begin with the right pair of footwear.
Rodeo
13” Reserve Boot (MXPL002)
Rodeo grounds are a sure way to glimpse a showcase of cowboy-oriented skill sets. Step into the spirit with a pair of statement boots that marry comfort, luxury, and style. This pair of Reserve boots features a chestnut hued ostrich leather vamp against an elegant dusty blue shaft; a versatile palette that will carry you from summer into fall. All the while, CellStretch® Comfort Technology is at work to keep your feet fresh all night long.
11” Tech X™ Boot (WXTR004)
Celebrate in proper form by donning a pair of Tech X boots to your next night out at the grounds with friends. A classic silhouette and vamp ensure you’ll be dressing the part, but with a durable rubber outsole for dependable traction and CellStretch for lasting comfort, these boots will keep your attention on the skills and stunts in the arena, not on your feet. An all around winner, this boot is going for eight!
Cookout
Chukka Ultralite X™ Driving Moc (MDMU002)
If you opt to spend the day gathered with friends and family at a summer grill out, these Chukka Driving Mocs have you covered. This style boasts a classic mixture of durability and lightness with Ultralite X technology which provides a 20% lighter wearing experience on average when compared to traditional styled footwear. Furthermore this closet staple keeps the western spirit alive by utilizing quality sustainable materials. Afterall, what’s more celebratory of the west than taking conscious steps to preserve it?
Chukka Driving Moc (WDM0145)
Enjoy a literal take with this pair of embroidered Chukka Driving Mocs during this year's National Day of the Cowboy. Although the west takes on many striking shapes, it is most commonly depicted in vast expanses dotted with cacti and desert flora. Whether you find your feet planted somewhere of the like, or gathered with loved ones at a backyard BBQ, this pair, complete with Cellsole® footbeds, will keep you comfortable wherever you wander.
Live Music
12” Tech X Boot (MXW0003)
One place you can check boxes for both “quintessential summer” and “quintessential cowboy” is at a country music festival. Another less desirable category that will inevitably be present is “heat.” Fear not, because this Tech X boot features a breathable air mesh lining to help keep you cool while CellStretch fights to keep you comfortable during long hours listening to music rich with cowboy heritage.
12” Western Boot (WWT0040)
Dressing for country concerts usually involves many colorful patterns and trends - pull them altogether with this anchoring neutral boot. Quality leather, a durable rubber outsole, and single-stitched welt all come together to keep you on your feet through stadiums, dirt, or grass - allowing you to be fully present to the music and people around you.
For those that celebrate National Day of the Cowboy everyday, simply by going about their lives, working for the flourishing of land and all its inhabitants; hats off to you! Maybe it’s time you treat yourself with a new pair of boots.
