Original Note:
This is a functional cowboy boot utilized in western equestrian tradition. Western boots have a stacked heel to prevent a foot from going through the stirrup in the event of a fall which could result in a rider being dangerously dragged by the horse, known as 'hung-up'. https://horseandrider.com/how-to/hung-in-a-stirrup/
