Whether you’re shopping for cowboy boots for women, men’s western boots or kids’ cowboy boots, it’s vital that you get a snug, comfortable fit. Pay attention to the following features to help ensure you get the best boots for your needs.
Shaft Height
If you want the classic western-boot look, go with a high-cut shaft. These boots are typically between 10-14 inches tall and reach the middle of the calf or higher. Mid-cut shafts provide less coverage but, on the plus side, they are easier to pull on and off.
Heel Height
The elevated heel, originally designed to provide a secure hold inside of saddle stirrups, is another trademark feature of western boots. Traditional “riding” styles tend to have a higher heel, while boots designed more for working or walking will often have a lower profile to provide added comfort and stability.
Toe Shape
You’ll likely come across a few different types of toe shapes when shopping for western boots. The most traditional style, often called “regular” or “R toe,” features narrow, oval shaping that comes to a slight point. More casual styles, like roper boots and western work boots, tend to have a rounded toe for an ideal blend of fashion and function. Square-toe cowboy boots are an increasingly popular choice, while wide-square-toe styles provide extra comfort for larger feet.
