15 Best Cowboy Boots for Embracing Your Inner Cowgirl
Put some pep in your two-step! 👢
Ree Drummond will be the first to tell you that finding the best cowboy boots for women can be tough. There are so many options to choose from: tall boots or short ankle boots, classic brown or colorful, and rounded toes, square toes, or pointy toes. The price can also vary widely. A more expensive pair often means you're paying for quality leather like calfskin and goatskin. You're also paying for serious craftsmanship: Many cowboy boots are made by hand right here in the United States. It's an investment, but when you find a great pair (like one from Ree's favorite boot brand, Lucchese), you get Western boots that will last for years—and improve with age.

Ree's favorite footwear fits right in on the ranch but nowadays, cowboy boots are a fun staple in closets everywhere. This means the variations on the classic design and the price points are endless! Of course, the closer to the original style, the more versatile they are. Once you pick your go-to style, Ree says the trick to making your best boots fit well is to start wearing them—a lot. "A good pair of boots needs some breaking in," she says. Luckily, there's no shortage of ways to wear your boots, whether it's with a denim jacket, your favorite pair of jeans, or of course, a cowboy hat!
