(I prefer the Prince of Wales spurs, personally.  Although I rarely use spurs.)

Answer 2

They are actually for show. Also, as someone said they can be used for other things. But mainly for show looks.

Answer 3

Hye there,

If the ones you saw are just a rounded stick of metal then they are not as strong as the other ones kindof just for slight correction and looks hope this helps.

Answer 4

they are for people learning to ride with spurs.

Answer 5

For the look that's all.  Give ya the old west appeal!

Answer 6

they're made to give the old west effect to one's apparel.

they serve no real purpose,

they're just made to look good.
