Since ancient times, leather has been the preferred material for foot wear. Leather boots have been around for at least a couple of thousand years. Roman soldiers wore them, although of a more primitive structure and design. Leather is tough, durable, and protective, so it's no wonder that leather has retained its favor for such a long time. With the technology available today, good leather boots can last a lifetime.

All leather boots require the same basic care. You'll need a tin of saddle soap, which serves to clean, soften and preserve the leather. Leather boots gain suppleness over time with just this care, eventually making the boot “fit like a glove”.

There are several distinctive categories of leather boots you may find for sale, each with a special purpose. There are equestrian show boots, motorcycle boots, hiking boots, cowboy boots and fashion boots with their subsets of children's and unisex boots. Each category of leather boots is designed to the intended use.

Equestrian show boots are knee high, usually of smooth black calf leather and are stovepipe shaped and simple in design, making an elegant appearance with the tailored pants and jackets worn for equestrian show events. Their sleek and smooth lines are also used to functional advantage by jockeys in horse races.

Motorcycle boots are made of thick leather, typically black, with a chunky and substantial construction suited to this rough and ready sport. These boots may scuff or even scar when scraped against the roadway, but your foot is well protected. With good care, all you'll ever need to do is replace the heel now and then.

Hiking boots are typically made with suede leather of a good thickness. These aren't fashion items, made to withstand the elements and protect your feet, while enduring frequent bending motions and remaining comfortable. Hiking boots are frequently waterproofed, which dulls the suede effect but greatly enhances functionality.

Cowboy boots are a mix of function and art. Though made of sturdy leather, these boots characteristically integrate a fashion look, with embroidered or etched designs. The cowboy or cowgirl may wear their boots for both work and fashion statements. After rounding up the horses, a little saddle soap makes them good to go for dancing or clubbing.

Fashion leather boots are perhaps the biggest sellers and are more for art than functionality. Cuffs, zippers, beading, embroidery, buttons and snaps are just a few of the decorations you'll find. These boots also tend to conform to the shape of the leg for aesthetic, not functional reasons. Fashion leather boots are the showoffs of boot categories.
