Best Western Boots (2021)
Cowboy boots have come a long way.
From the original days of the long ranger, surveying his cattle herd on the open plain, to Jessica Simpson’s short-shorts and boots combo in Daisy Dukes, the western trend has been commandeered by almost everyone.
Whether you’re looking for a pair of cowboy boots to ride to the rodeo, or simply a western-inspired pair of boots to trot around the office, we’ve got you covered!
Here are the best western boots for women to shop now.

Western Boots
There are two kinds of western boots.
The ‘real deal’ cowboy boots that you can wear to the rodeo or for western style horseback riding… and the western inspired boots for those of us who simply want to jump in on the trend.
We’ve rounded up both in the list below!

Women’s Western Boots
Best Women’s Western Boots: Lucchese
Among the 5 families of best western boots, this one from Lucchese falls into one of my favorite categories – black and bold.
The black coloring makes these boots versatile enough to go with a range of outfits, but the authentic western boot print still leave these boots retaining their rustic roots!

Most Comfortable Women’s Western Boots: Durango
Remember when Nancy Sinatra famously sung “these boots are made for walking”?
Well, Durango took heed of that and made some of the most comfortable women’s western boots on the market, featuring a classically western wide heel, durable full-grain leather, and a cushion flex insole!

Best Western Riding Boot: Ariat
Because after all, you may just wanna do some cowgirl things when you wear some cowgirl boots!
These western boots from Ariat are super authentic and feature the traditional cowboy (or cowgirl!) R-toe profile, a durable rubber outsole that provides excellent traction, and a removable gel-cushioned footbed that can provide comfort – even when you’re standing or riding all day!

Best Black Western Boot: Kaanas
More of a western-inspired heel than a classic western boot, this gem from Kaanas brings a western aesthetic to urban style with its classic stacked block heel, crocodile leather embossing, and durable synthetic outsole!

Most Unique Western Style Boots: Matisse
What I love most about these Matisse boots is how incredibly they bring a unique design concept to boots that still immediately convey a Western aesthetic.
These boots are also completely handmade, which means that each pair comes with its own unique construction and beautiful imperfections that truly make these boots one of a kind!

Most Subtle Western Ankle Boot: Rag & Bone
Forget to look twice, and you might hardly notice that these Rag & Bone boots are clearly inspired by classic western boots!
The stacked block heel is a dead giveaway, but these boots deftly deviate from the stereotypical western to offer a lush, elevated, and sophisticated alternative to the rustic original!

Best Chelsea Western Boot: Linea Paolo
The Chelsea boot is a modern fashion staple known for its convenience and style.
These boots from Linea Paolo blend this functionality with a traditional Western aesthetic and feature a stacked heel, full leather lining and insole, and rugged synthetic outsole!
