The act, popular in Australia, came to be known as a "Shoey" because, quite obviously, it involves drinking from a shoe. Australians do have a tradition of adding a "y" to words when they want to name them or shorten their names.

There is no restriction on what type of boot, or even footwear, you can use to do a "Shoey". However, you will have a better experience with some types of boots than others. Riding boots are best for packing for a lot of beer in, so you can wolf it all down as you prove that you can do a "Shoey" even when there's a lot to drink.

If you want to have an even better time drinking beer from a cowboy boot, you can go with roper boots. Their fine leather seams can provide a smooth feel on your lips, helping you to down all that beer without a problem.
