What is a cutter toe?

A cutter toe is a pointed, slightly tapered western toe shape, narrower than a square or broad toe. It gives the Bellville a traditional profile and a closer fit across the front of the foot.

How tall is the shaft and heel?

The shaft is 13 inches from the foot, and the heel is 1 5/8 inches. That is a tall western shaft and a mid-height heel, so the boot comes up well above the ankle.

What width are these boots?

The Bellville is listed in a B width, which is a narrow women's fit. Shoppers who usually take a medium or wide width should expect a closer fit.

What are the pull tabs for?

The pull tabs sit at the top of the shaft to give you a grip when pulling the boots on. With a 13-inch shaft, they help you get your foot past the ankle.

What are the boots made of?

The upper is light brown Rancho cowhide with western stitching on the shaft. The listing does not state the sole, lining or construction details.

How do these compare with square-toe western boots?

The Bellville has a pointed cutter toe and a tall shaft, so it looks dressier and more traditional than a square-toe work boot. Square-toe boots give more room across the toes; these will feel closer.
