I like to think cowboys would put their boots on the fence posts to dry out just in time for them to hit the club later for some line dancing. At least, that's why I would put them there!
I have never really been a pack rat or a hoarder. But I most recently moved, and when I went through everything, I couldn't believe the stuff I had kept. I threw most of it away. But I had a pair of Harley-Davidson boots that I have had since 1993. I bought them at Green River Harley-Davidson in Green River, Wyo.
