Climbing boots will not crush even slightly. Cowboy boots are designed
to go in stirrups.

Cowboy boots.... on a boat?
We don't even wear "deck shoes" except to go to town :-)

You wear them to the honky tonks, or to actually ride a horse. Most
cowboys don't ride a horse. They own their own trucks and get an
allowance to cover that. On the other hand, I wear a Western hat
whenever I leave the house. Keeps the sun off my face and the rain off
my glasses, as well as keeping my long hair in place. Most actual
cowboys wear a baseball cap. Those are free and the hats start at $125
for a lower quality one.
