The SASS rulebook simply says that boots need to be of a traditional design. Just what do the rules committee members consider “traditional”? Are exotic leathers allowed, i.e. ostrich, snake, lizard, etc.? Are pointy toes allowed, you know the cockroach-in-the-corner stompers? How much, if any, fancy stitching is allowed? Hmmm... I guess that in "B" Western that would be, how much is required?
