Georgia Hombre...
Cowboy hat, with athletic shoes: Fail. Never actually been near a horse, ranch or farm.

I hate to burst your bubble but almost every branding I've ever been to I wore tennis shoes.  Occasionally work boots when deep mud was involved, very rarely cowboy boots.  Usually I wear a gimme cap, when I wear a hat.  A cowboy hat would be less unusual than boots, so I've often committed that faux pas.  I'll admit that flat bottom shoes are less than ideal for stirrups.  I don't rodeo, or ride for fun, so I don't care.  I have brothers in law who rarely wear anything but cowboy boots and wrangler jeans.  One of them actually owns cattle.  Obligatory picture:

You don't live in the west, do you?

I agree, or at least not in Texas.  But I think we're missing the larger point that the dude is somewhere between 6'6" and 6'8", if the robber height sign is to be believed, and he's carrying three visible guns.  What the FUCK is this guy afraid of?

He's afraid someone will see his tiny penis.

I like my toes, my traction and my comfort, but then again I'm old school.

BS. Living as I did in the West, outside of cities one never saw this.  Wearing shoes like that wasn't ever a thing, due to the type of work and the culture that it engendered. Work boots, pull on, or cowboy boots.  This is a recent phenomena, and you are certainly welcome to think it appropriate, whereas I see it as appropriation, and gauche.   Different Strokes.

Living in the west as opposed to actually doing the work.  You won't catch a rodeo cowboy wearing tennis shoes.  Probably won't find many not wearing Wrangler jeans.  It's definitely a fashion thing.  I've branded, cut, earmarked, and vaccinated hundreds of calves in shoes.  Worked on miles of fence, ridden hundreds of miles on horse back, in shoes.  Leather soled boots offer less traction and not much more protection from being stepped on.  Lace up rubber sole work boots actually offer some ankle support, traction, toe protection, and best of all don't come off in thick mud.  The thing shoes don't have is a heel to keep your feet from slipping through a stirrup and you can't wear spurs on them.  For riding they have one advantage, when moving fast.  I've never liked wearing spurs, some people would count that as a second advantage.  I own cowboy boots, they're my dress shoes.  Now if you want to talk fencing pliers or saddle trees I have definite opinions there too.

Hedge, even working with sheep in the UK (and cattle) on a 60 acre farm I always wore boots.  Not cowboy boots, but Doc Martens with a steel toe cover under leather (Bovver Boots for the uninitiated). My sister had her foot extremely broken by a horse stepping on her foot whilst wearing "shoes".  Give me boots anytime when working with livestock.

Right up there I discussed lace up work boots actually protecting your toes.   Cowboy boots provide no better toe protection than shoes, and usually provide less traction.  What they're useful for is riding, which is a tiny part of the work.  I lost a toe nail to a horse as a kid, luckily it grew back.  Do an image search for farriers and see how many are wearing cowboy boots.  It's people who do the work as opposed to people who look the part.  I had a pair of lace up Doc Martens I wore to work when the kids were small, they're more expensive than I like to spend these days.

Any chance you guys can stop comparing boots/fashion/dicks and just post some fucking pictures?
