While dismounted, the shaft helped protect the leg and foot from rocks, brush, thorns, and snakes. In wet weather or creek crossings, the high tops helped prevent the boot from filling with mud and water. They are thus popular for warm-weather wear, because they let the foot be cooler than a closed-toed shoe would. One accessory used with cowboy boots is a spur, which is sometimes attached to the heel of each boot for the purpose of goading the horse while riding. Athletic shoe soles may be made of rubber. If it is not possible to avoid high heels altogether, some doctors suggest that the wearer wear high-heels no more often than twelve hours a day, and that they are spending at least a third of the time on their feet in contour-supportive "flat" shoes (such as exercise sandals), or well-cushioned "sneaker-type".
