Cowboy Boots Are Back And They Are Better Than Ever
Cowboy boots are a fashion staple, and we'll help you invest in the right pair!
Cowboy boots are classic staple in every cool girl's wardrobe and donning a pair instantly brings a bigger level of boldness (and badassery) into your day. The trick is to wear them with confidence and ease, and we do (being from Texas and all) prefer the worn-in look over a stiff, shiny pair to show you been at this game for a minute.
Cowboy boots—and cowboys themselves—have roots in Mexican vaqueros, the original cowboys of the Americas and celebs and "It" girls across the ages have famously worn a pair. We remember Madonna dusting up a pair in her Y2K "Don't Tell Me" video, Susan Sarandon in Thelma & Louise sporting a fierce white pair standing atop her Thunderbird convertible, and Debra Winger two-stepping with John Travolta in some sexy cowboy boots in Urban Cowboy back in 1980.
And millennial and Gen Z women have got the "cowboy boots are back" memo with Kendall Jenner, FKA Twigs and Dua Lipa living their best cowgirl lives in their favorite pair of boots.
Whether you're looking to invest ('cause truly good quality ones will cost you a pretty penny) or just wanting to channel a little Beth Dutton, Yellowstone style, we found the best cowboy boots for women to buy right now.
