A western boot cut to the Holland toe, the shape that squares the front without going as wide as a full square.
The Holland is one of the cutter-toe family: squared enough to read flat across the front, narrowed enough that the boot keeps a taper from the ball of the foot forward. That combination is why it is asked for by name. It gives the profile a defined edge from above while leaving the toes somewhere to sit, which is more than the broadest squares manage.
A toe shape this specific is the whole reason to buy the boot, so it should be allowed to show. Wear it with a trouser that breaks high and cleanly rather than one that stacks over the vamp, and let the line of the front be visible. The cutter shape flatters a narrower foot in particular. If you sit between two sizes, the width is the more useful thing to change — length rarely fixes a western fit on its own.
