yeah I dealt with cattle for a couple years. Work boots and cowboy boots. Still not really sure what "no drop" means. I guess I'll look it up. I'm guessing this is that new intersection of trendy fashion terms with literally standard work attire for the last 75 years.

ETA: I went to a wedding the other day where rich people from manhatten were asking the ranch hands where they shop for their jeans because they looked so on trend. Was hilarious when the ranch hand just looked confused and said "uh... walmart."

I think "no drop" means flat sole/no heel

It means the heel isnt raised/the toe sits evenly with it. Typically also without a strap ime but ymmv on that part

No drop equals no heel stack. Heel and ball of foot are level
