Mexican towns are sporting a pointy boots fad at nightclubs.

Members of the "Parranderos" dance crew wait for the dance competition to begin at the Mesquit Rodeo nightclub in Matehuala, Mexico. The dance crews were the first to embrace the flashy pointy boot-craze that has swept through the Mexican town of Matehuala, spread to nearby cities and even taken by migrants across the border into the United States.
