1. Spurs: Spurs will be worn as a matched pair. The type of spurs allowed are set by each unit but most often they are Prince of Wales style spurs.

a. Low Quarters: The spurs will be affixed to the footgear midway between the upper portion of the sole and the lower part of the heel along the seam of the shoe. The U shaped portion shall enclose the shoe in such a manner as to assure that the rowel of the spurs curves down to the ground. The strap will be fastened over the instep of the footgear in such a manner that the buckle faces to the outside of the foot.

 

b. Boots: The spurs will be affixed to the footgear so that the U shaped portion follows the seam of the ankle support. The strap will be fastened over the instep of the footgear in such a manner that the buckles face the outside of the boot.

 

c. Single Soldiers will wear the rowels of their spurs pointing up, while married Soldiers will do so with their rowels pointing down.

2. Occasions for Wear: Spurs with Stetsons will be worn at all Cavalry functions, otherwise, they will not be worn outside of the Cavalry footprint. Stetsons and Spurs may be authorized by the local command, but are not authorized for wear at Army functions not specifically dedicated to Cavalry. Wear with civilian attire may be restricted by a local commander, but otherwise the Spurs and Stetson may be mixed with civilian attire when rank has been removed.
