Cowboy boots hold a special place in the world’s fashion and design imagination. Perhaps second only to the U.S. flag, cowboy boots are recognized worldwide as symbols of American values and attitudes —opportunity, individuality and self-reliance.

Jennifer June joined us to talk about her book, "COWBOY BOOTS: Art & Sole." It looks deep into the American psyche to explain the wide appeal of the cowboy boot. It shows how talented boot-makers have adapted classic patterns and motifs over time, creating new twists to time honored themes.
