Cuffers

Cuffers are a type of footwear that originated in the 19th century, primarily in the United States. They are characterized by their distinctive design, which features a high, often stiff, collar that wraps around the ankle and extends up to the shin. This collar is typically made of leather or other durable materials and is often reinforced with metal or other stiffening elements. The upper part of the cuffers is usually made of leather or suede, and the sole is typically made of rubber or other durable materials. Cuffers were popular among cowboys and other rural workers in the American West, as they provided protection from the elements and were durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily use. Today, cuffers are considered a classic piece of American footwear and are often worn for their unique style and historical significance. They are available in a variety of colors and materials, and can be found in both modern and vintage styles.
