Boots have been made that have been up to 7-feet long, and these Pointy boots are all part of the club scene down there fueled by DJ Erick Rincon and his form of Tribal House Music. Those who are cool enough seem to take part in dance-offs at local clubs, and it seems that whoever has the biggest pointy boots and the best dance moves is the coolest Johnny-come-lately that you can think of. In the video, DJ Erick Rincon notes how this fad is ever bigger in Dallas and other parts of Texas. If anyone from Texas is reading this, have you seen any of these pointy boots that would make your average elf on the street green with envy?
Though the boots in the video are somewhat exaggerated compared to what I've normally seen (living in Texas or New Mexico my entire life), it appears to be an extension of a very popular style of boot.
