MATEHUALA, Mexico (AP) — The customer known only as "Cesar of Huizache" had an odd request for shoemaker Dario Calderon: He showed him a cell-phone photo of a sequined cowboy boot with pointy toes so long, they curled up toward the knees. He wanted a pair, but with longer toes.
"I thought 'What's up with this dude?'" Calderon said at his shop in Matehuala, a northeastern Mexican city of farmers and cattle ranchers accustomed to a more stoic cowboy look. The boot in the photo measured 60 centimeters (23 inches) "but we made him a pair that were 90 centimeters (35 inches) long."
No more ridiculous than today's ordinary "decorative" body mutilations (tattoos, piercings, etc.)... with the clear advantage that that those boots can be removed once the wearers realize how silly they look.
Plus they can let their toenails grow long and curly.

Very true. I've never understood why anyone would stick holes in his/her body to hang jewelry or want permanent pictures on his/her skin.
The girls like the boots and the guys do what the girls want:

"At the beginning I didn't like them very much, but the girls wouldn't dance with you if you weren't wearing pointy boots," said university student Pascual Escobedo, 20, his own covered with hot pink satin and glittery stars.
Finally some clever Mexican thought of a way to scratch his bulls without needing to use his hands.
