Talk:Mexican pointy boots

Picture
Boots with 5 foot toes? If any article begged for a photo, this one is it! &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 11:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The woderful Flickr user obedms provided an image.... but it is dated 2009, which is before the 2010 of invention in the title. Feel up to researching the true origins? Nesnad (talk) 15:14, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Dude, awesome find!!! Changed the date on the page from 2010 to 2009. An exact date or even year was never given in the sources. Plot Spoiler (talk) 15:28, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This style of boot is way older than 2009. There's a Finnish band named Leningrad Cowboys that wore them back in the 1990s (maybe the 1980s?) and often also wore Mariachi-style stage costumes.  Their article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leningrad_Cowboys briefly mentions the shoes and a quick look at any image search engine will immediately turn up pictures for confirmation of both the boots and the clothing.  Either they copied something they saw from a Mexican source or the same style was invented on two different continents, decades apart.  I think the latter is unlikely.  Either way, it seems clear that the point remains:  this style of boot is way, way older than 2009.Benenglish (talk) 17:33, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposal to move
This article should have its title moved to "Guadachero Boots", as that is apparently the proper name.
