Who says boys can't wear pointy boots

When I first saw the pictures on the news, I thought "WTF!" Haha. I really thought it was just a joke where Mexican men wear ultra super pointed boots. Not only is it weird but it's really hilarious looking at them wearing those odd-looking boots. Men wearing these were first spotted specifically in Matehuala, Mexico. The culprit behind this Mexican craze is a certain "Cesar of Huizache". He started just about everything when it comes to these boots which eventually spread all over Mexico and across the border into United States.  It was said that "Cesar of Huizache" asked a shoemaker in the name of Dante Calderon and the former requested to make him the said custom-made boots. When it was finished, "Cesar of Huizache" wore the pointy boots in a Mesquit Rodeo and from then on the legend begins. Haha. Another fact was that women chose not to dance to a boy if he is not wearing these very pointed Mexican boots. To them it looks cool and they pride themselves once they got the chance to wear one. Women tend to find Mexican men sexy when they see one wearing "the" crazy looking boots. There are a variety of these boots ranging from the short ones to the longer looking pointed ones. Mexican men look like cowboys, with the  huge hats, checkered polos, coupled with skin tight jeans and it won't be complete if the man won't wear the pointy boots of course.  These boots are the longer, crazier and pointier version of Aladdin's shoes but in this case it is a pair of boots.

Fashion definitely these days have become so twisted that not all people will be able to understand it. Maybe because of culture and tradition that people are obliged to wear these strange forms of tapestry or shoes. I guess if it were up to me, I might have to pass. I don't think I have the guts to wear one not because I am not a man (hahaha) but I just don't think I am ballsy enough to be dared to wear one and walk on it in the streets.

But then again, watching this video MEXICAN POINTY SHOES made me realize one thing. The men have passion for music and for the shoes so much that they do not really care what others are thinking. They enjoy wearing it no matter how odd-looking it is. That's what I call being "gutsy".
