Where To Get Great Cowboy Boots For Women?

I hate having to navigate the endless sales, ads, commercials, etc… for products that are either complete junk or not as good as they claim to be. Cowboy boots are no exception. So I decided to take a few moments and tell you exactly where to get great cowboy boots for women that you will love!

For starters, I’m going to list 2 places that I do most of my western shopping. I’ve bought most of my boots mainly from Pinto Ranch and Hat Country. You may ask, “Why don’t you go directly to the manufacturer?”. Good question. Well I’ve looked at doing that and both of these places charge the same amount for the same pair of boots as the manufacturer. I guess the manufacturer gives them a deal and that is how they make money. Secondly, some of these brands’ make exclusive styles or pairs of boots just for them. Especially Pinto Ranch. They have a ton of boots on their site you just won’t find anywhere else, even on the manufacturers’ website. Last but not least, I love that they have a ton of other products that go great with my boots. Dresses, hats, belts, jewelry and accessories that you just won’t see if you go to Old Gringo’s website or the other brands’ website.

Women’s Cowboy Boots Clearance

I really don’t believe in saving the best for last, so I’m gonna start right out showing you some great boots that are on sale. Just a couple of examples. Two things that I do want to mention right off the bat. There is a big difference between Hat Country and the boots you get at Pinto Ranch. I’ll explain below.

Pinto Ranch Women’s Wester Wear- The cowgirl boots (and cowboy boots for the guys) are definitely a little more on the “higher end” when it comes to brand names and price. You won’t find a pair of $75 or even a $100 boots here. They carry brand names like Rios Of Mercedes, Tony Lama, Stallion, Lucchese, etc… The lowest cost pair of boots I found here was a pair of Lane women’s Ballyhoo Bootie boots for $262.50. They were on sale from $350. The most expensive pair of boots I saw were almost $1,900. A pair by Old Gringo. As I said, there aren’t any cheap boots here, but the quality is superb! These won’t be a pair of boots where the heel snaps off after a month of wear. I bought my first pair here about 4 years ago and I still wear them quite a bit. Here is a link to all the cowboy boots for women on clearance. They also have cowboy boots for your man so don’t be afraid to wander over there and check those out. Oh, I almost forgot, they have a great selection of belts, handbags, jewelry, etc… You can find a link to all of that right HERE. I’ve bought several pairs of boots and articles of clothing and some jewelry here. Two things that stand out about Pinto Ranch to me is the quality and their customer service. Any problems and you are definitely in good hands. Returns / exchanges are a breeze and won’t cost you anything.

Hat Country – If I were gonna describe Hat Country, it would be Pinto Ranch’s thrifty sister. I don’t want to sound like I’m putting them down, but they just don’t have the brands’ that Pinto does. When it comes to women’s boots, they have several brand names like Dan Post, Dingo, Laredo, etc…, but in my experience these names don’t really compare to the brands’ I named from Pinto Ranch. You are definitely gonna have to play around with navigating around the site when looking for the lowest price boots. You can sort by price, the biggest savings, new boots, most popular, etc… Definitely find some great deals though. I found several pairs under $100 and the most expensive pair was $300 I think. That’s a huge difference compared to Pinto Ranch.

To be completely honest, I haven’t bought that many items from Hat Country. I haven’t had a problem with any of the apparel so I really didn’t get to check out their customer service like I have Pinto Ranch where I needed to return a pair of boots to get the right fit. Both places offer free shipping and a section that shows reviews from customers. If you are looking for clearance items and you do visit Hat Country, check out their special “Clearance Section”. Tons of great deals that will go easy on your wallet.

Popular Brands Of Women’s Cowboy Boots

In case you are new to the cowgirl boot world, I just wanted to give you some general info on my favorite brand names of women’s cowboy boots. I’m not gonna name them all, but this should be a good start. As I said earlier, there is a big difference between the names you will see at Pinto Ranch and the names from Hat Country. I will say for sure that all the brands’ from Pinto Ranch are excellent. The quality is top-notch and whoever you talk to, it usually comes down to personal preference. I’ll start with Pinto Ranch.

Old Gringo Boots – I wanted to start with Old Gringo because for starters, I have 3 or 4 pairs. Also, they have the largest selection of boots at Pinto Ranch with 43 (as I write this article). Old Gringo boots are handcrafted and combine vintage charm with contemporary styling in their take on western cowgirl boots. This is by far one of my favorite brands’. Not just because of the selection they offer, but the quality. Anytime I get a new outfit, I know Old Gringo has a pair of boots that I can count on to compliment it. If you can’t find a pair of Old Gringos, you aren’t looking hard enough.

Stallion Boots For Women – These boots are insane! When you asked “Where do I get great boots for women”, these are it. When I talk about cowboy boots walking down the red carpet in New York or Milan, they are most likely a pair of Stallion boots. That goes for either men or women. They definitely have a hefty price tag, but wow, are they incredible! I don’t know if the word “cute” adequately describes them. Sleek, gorgeous, sexy, you name it, you are living your best life with a pair of these babies. I had to look them up and found they are relatively new in the boot world. They come from a famous designer named Pedro Munoz in 1980 and are known throughout the runways of Paris, Milan and New York as well as among Hollywood stars. These are the boots to be jealous over if you ask me.

There are some other great brands that I just don’t have time to talk about from Pinto Ranch like Lucchese, Rios of Mercedes, Tony Lama, Lane, and a couple others. If you know cowboy boots, you have definitely heard of some of these brands’. Some others might be new. But as I said, if they are from Pinto, they all are of top quality. These are the best of the best when it comes to women’s cowboy boots in my opinion. You can find all of Pinto’s women’s cowboy boots here.

Two pairs that I want to mention from Hat Country are Dan Post boots and Laredo. Both of these brands’ are a really good boot especially for the price. There are 22 pairs of Laredo boots from which you can choose and 14 pairs of Dan Post boots to choose from. With the average price being around $150, these are just a great pair of every day boots or something you won’t mind getting a little dirty. I have a pair of Laredos and I think they are really comfortable and well-made for that price. I don’t think they will last as long as my Old Gringos, but I am pleased with them.

Where Can We Wear Our New Cowboy Boots?

Oh what a great time to be alive! That’s what I think of when someone asks me “Where can I wear my cowboy boots?””. Twenty or Thirty years ago it was most likely the rodeo or “honk tonk” bar. God, I hate the phrase “honky tonk”!

Today is a whole different story! A couple of reasons for this I believe. One of the biggest reasons is because of their popularity. These days, you don’t have to be “country” to wear cowboy boots. I see actresses, musicians, and people that just aren’t country wearing cowgirl boots all the time. Be it’s on the red carpet or magazines, but you know you’ve seen it as well. I guarantee you I can grab a Vogue and find a pair of cowboy boots in one of the articles or advertisements.

Because of their popularity, people are wearing them with not only their favorite pair of jeans, but also dresses, shorts and even leggings. With more options of things to wear comes more places to wear them.

Weddings, another place that cowboy boots have become super popular. I can’t even tell you how many weddings I’ve been to in the last 5 years where the bride and groom were wearing cowboy boots. Same goes for the entire wedding party. I think the boots drew more attention than the gown. That’s how iconic cowboy boots have become.

I think you get the idea. Your options are endless and I really can’t think of a place where you “can’t” wear cowboy boots. My only recommendation would be don’t wear them somewhere that you don’t want to attract attention lol. They definitely get you noticed, especially in a room full of people where nobody is wearing a pair. Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes it’s not. You make the call.

Women’s Cowboy Boots Don’t Need To Be Tall

What was that, you would like to change the question to “Where can a woman get a great pair of short cowboy boots?”. Well damn, that is a good question!

There’s no question that shorter shaft cowboy boots have become pretty popular over the years. Looking at them I would consider them an ankle boot or high ankle boot with a little bit of country in them. That is what I love about them and gives you such a different look than wearing the traditional women’s cowboy boot.

I found 3 pairs of them made by Old Gringo at Pinto Ranch. They don’t have a large selection to offer and I think they may be because of the brands’ they offer. The big names like Lucchese, Tony Lama, etc… focus more on the traditional styles, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some in the near future. I haven’t bought a pair yet, but I really like the black bonnie’s. Here’s a link to all 3 pairs.

It was a little harder to sort out the shorter boots at Hat Country. They were pretty much “ankle boots”in my opinion and not even really cowgirl boots. There were 1 or 2 decent pairs there, but you are gonna have to look around. If you search you can get mixed up between cowboy boots, fashion boots, etc… I definitely like the layout of Pinto Ranch much better. It just seems easier to find what I’m looking for. Here is a link to the shorter style of boots at Hat Country.

Are Cowboy Boots In Style?

This is a frequently asked question and I went ahead and threw this section in the article even though I think I’ve answered it above “Where Can We Wear Our New Cowboy Boots?”.

Yes, cowboy boots are definitely in style! Major clothing designers like Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and many others are showcasing their clothing walking down the runway with cowboy boots. You can also see them walking down the red carpet from the likes of Storm Read, Amber Heard, Gigi Hadid, Kesha are all stars you will find sporting the latest look in women’s fashion, the cowboy boot!

Famous designers, stars of stage, screen and your favorite band. These are all people wearing cowboy boots in the last couple of years. If that’s not in style, I just don’t know what is.

Cowgirl Boots For Girls

You asked where you can get great cowboy boots for women, but don’t forget cowboy boots for the kids! We’ve already said they are in style and you can wear them just about anywhere. You know your sister, daughter, niece, etc… is gonna want a pair of cowboy boots. Luckily you have options.

I’m gonna also just mention that there are some cowboy boots for the boys here. I want to mention that because we all know who’s most likely to be picking these out. Mom, Nanna, Auntie, you get the picture. I have a niece that just had to have a pair of cowgirl boots when she saw mine. I was absolutely in love with the idea! How freaking cute would that be and how jealous could I make her mom (my sister)!

I grabbed my laptop and since I had boots on my mind I immediately started to go to Pinto Ranch and then my stomach started to get a little queasy. I love her to death, but I’m not buying her a $200 pair of named brand boots. I could literally see her running through the sprinkler with them on. Starting to not like this idea at all. To my relief, they have boots for kids and they don’t have the same price tag as my pair of Old Gringos. They have 2 brand names (Anderson Bean for the boys & Macie Bean for the girls). I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s the same brand, just different names for boys and girls. This would make sense. As you would expect, there aren’t a ton of different styles, but there is a decent selection. 10 in total and 6 are for the boys and 4 for the girls. Prices ranged from $95 for the least expensive and $155 for the most expensive. You can find all 10 pairs of boots for the kiddos right here.

A little bit different story when it comes to boots for the kids at Hat Country. There isn’t one link for them, they are separated by boys and girls. For the girls, there are 5 different pairs by Dan Post, Laredo, and Blazin. They are definitely cheaper than Pinto where the cheapest pair goes for $50 and the most expensive goes for $72. Between the Pinto and Hat Country, the boots really don’t look the same, so you might have to look at both and make up your own mind. I think the pairs I saw on Pinto’s site look a little cuter and something my nice would like better, but you be the judge.

As for boys boots at Hat Country, there are 8 different pairs and they are run around $50. I really liked the American flag pair by DBL Barrel. I bet that’s their most popular pair. All the boys boots are by DBL Barrel and Blazin.

You Now Know Where They Are

Well, you asked where to get great cowboy boots for women and I hope I answered your question. You should not have a problem finding a size, style, or brand name that you like.

I picked Hat Country and Pinto Ranch because I think they combine everything you might be looking for. If it’s a pair of high end boots that you want to show off with your favorite little black dress or something to kick around in with your boyfriend. I think between the 2 you can find that and everything in between.

Popular brands’ and low prices with a ton of boots on sale. I think you should be able to find what you want. I know I never have a problem finding something cute.

Cowboy boots are definitely in style and have been for a few years not and I really don’t see that trend slowing down anytime soon. You can wear them with just about anything and just about anywhere.

Hat Country and Pinto Ranch are my “2 stop shop” for cowboy boots, and other western goodies that I know you will love. If you have any questions, let me know below in the comments and I will be happy to tell you my thoughts. From the bottom of my heart, I hope I helped you find your new favorite pair of cowboy boots!

The Most Expensive Cowboy Boot Brands And Why They Are Worth It!

Cowboy Boots are like any other product. You always want to find the best deal. The cheaper the better is a motto for a lot of consumers these days. If you’ve browsed around, I’m sure you have seen some cowboy boots from brands like Lucchese, Stallion, Tony Lama, etc… for 8 or 9 hundred dollars and up and thought, is this worth it?

The answer is yes, you just have to know which ones. Below I will give you the information on the most expensive cowboy boot brands and why they are worth it.

Cowboy Boots, Are They Really Expensive?

That’s my question to you. If you look at it in the long run their cheaper than your run-of-the-mill shoe or sneaker and it’s gonna make a huge difference down the line. There’s 3 things you’re gonna wanna think about regarding the cost of a cowboy boot. Where are they made? How are they made? What are they made of? All of those things go into deciding what the cost of a boot actually is.

Where are they made?

Now in North America (Canada, U.S., Mexico), a boot is gonna range from about $175 – $275. I’m talking about your cowhide normal (average) cowboy boot. When you go to Asia and look at the boots their making in India and China, those boots are gonna range from $50 – $150. Europe and the boots made in Spain and other places in Europe, those boots are gonna run you around $300 – $500 for a regular cowhide boot. That gets into how they are made. There are just a lot of things about how a boot is made. So if you make boots in a factory with machines, you can make them quicker and it’s gonna be cheaper. If you have a hybrid way (like a lot of the boots are made in Canada, U.S. and Mexico) you have some portions done by hand, some portions done by machine that will cost between $175 – $275 range. Then you get into that fully handmade or custom boot, which is gonna be really expensive because you have one person or several people doing every single thing by hand. Even the stitching in the shaft. Those boots are gonna run somewhere between $500 – $1,000 plus.

If I do buy expensive cowboy boots like the ones listed below, I buy them from one place. That is Pinto Ranch! The reason I shop there is pretty simple. Their customer service is awesome! Their return policy is amazing and the quality of boots is “Only the best”. Are they expensive? You bet ya, but there is a reason for that. All of their boots are top of the line. Is a Mercedes Benz expensive? You know it, but there is a reason for that. Like a good Mercedes, boots from Pinto are of the highest quality. Names like Lucchese, Stallion, Tony Lama, etc… have been around for decades even a century or more and there is a reason for this! Sure, these are some expensive cowboy boots, but they are worth every penny in my opinion!

Stallion Cowboy Boots

Stallion boots are known from the runways of Paris and Milan to being worn by Hollywood stars. Lol, you know they are gonna be some expensive boots but worth every penny!

Stallion Handmade Boots

Rocketbuster Boots

Rocketbuster boots are some amazing women’s cowboy boots with a pretty big price tag on them, but I guarantee you won’t find another brand like them. Don’t be afraid to spend some cash on these beauties!

RocketBuster Women’s Handmade Boots

Lucchese Boots

One of my all time favorite brands of cowboy boots (my Italian heritage I guess), Lucchese boots can be pretty expensive, but they also have some cheaper options. Check out Pinto Ranch to find some good ones.

Lucchese Classic Handmade Boots

What they are made of?

If you go past the cowhide or the bull hide leathers and you go into the more exotic skins like a pair of Lucchese ostrich skin boots or caiman, lizard, and alligator, these boots are gonna be more expensive just because those hides are harder and more expensive to pr occur. These cowboy boots are usually referred to as “exotics”. As you know, the word exotic in any product is kind of a fancy word for “it cost more”. Rightly so though in my opinion. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to get cowhide than it is crocodile or ostrich leather.

Pinto Ranch is your one stop shot for cowboy boots and western wear. Not all their boots are expensive!

How They are Made?

This really doesn’t need any explanation in my opinion. Handmade cowboy boots have one person either making the entire boot or several people doing different parts of the boot by hand, but it is being handcrafted and they are experts in their field. They are basically putting their reputation into every pair they make and are physically observing the entire process. If a machine screws up and is sewing a bad piece of leather or stitching runs out or a machine gets bumped, etc… who knows how the final product is gonna turn out. I’m gonna choose handmade or handcrafted every time when it comes to boots or most any other product on the market.

Rios of Mercedes Boots
^{Click image to check them out}

Rios of Mercedes boots are one of my new favorites! They aren’t new by any means, just new to me. They are of the highest quality boots out there and demand a high price if you ask me.

Tony Lama Boots

Tony Lama handmade cowboy boots are royalty among boot lovers. They great thing about this brand is they come in a wide range of prices. If you like the more expensive pairs, god bless you!

Black Jack Handmade Boots For men

Expensive quality with a lower price tag! Rios of Mercedes may be one of my favorite western boots (Men & Women)

Handmade Cowboy Boots, The Quality Is Unmatched

Everything from pasta to cookies, blankets to Panama hats, cowboy boots are no exception. Handmade beats factory / machine made items any day of the week! I really hope this is something you have already experienced and know firsthand. If you haven’t, you are really missing out. I’m not saying $150 – $200 boots aren’t a good pair of boots, I’m just saying a pair of boots that you may have been looking at that cost 3 times as much are most likely a lot better. There can be a couple major differences like the quality of the leather, sole, heel, etc… and there can also be some subtle differences that really make the boot. Some hand stitching is superb and you just might not find in a cheaper lower quality boot. The materials in the heel or the sole are usually of lesser quality and may cause you to repair them say once a year instead of every couple of years like in a higher priced boot. So many little things, a lot of that can add up. Usually if you purchase a boot from say Stallion, Lucchese, or Rios of Mercedes, you are gonna get quality that you just won’t find in say a pair of Tecovas or other lower quality boot.

These Boots Will Last Years Longer Than A Cheaper Pair

Not only will they last longer than a cheaper pair of boots, but think of an expensive pair of boots and then think of a pair of Nike sneakers you purchased recently. How long do these name brand sneakers usually last you? I’m talking about ones that you actually use for what they are intended for (i.e. running, exercise, sports, etc…)? A year if you are lucky. What’s the price tag on a pair of those bad boys. Now compare it with a $850 pair of Lucchese handmade cowboy boots. How long are those gonna last you? Maybe you don’t have any idea. Well guess what, it’s gonna be decades. You can literally have the same pair of boots for 10 or 20 years and that’s with minimal maintenance. You will have to maybe get it re-soled or heeled once in a while, but that cost isn’t bad. When you do this, you will pretty much have the exact same boot that is already form fitted to your foot. No break in period. This is one of the benefits of getting a higher priced boot. With the cheap lower cost boots, you most likely don’t have the top quality leathers (exotic or even cowhide) as you would in Lucchese, Stallion, etc…

When I say “you get what you pay for”, that just isn’t lip service, that’s an actual fact. If you know anyone with a pair of these boots, just ask. I guarantee they will be happy to tell you the same thing. You might be thinking “There’s no way I’m spending that much money on a pair of boots”! Hey, I get it. I thought the same thing when I bought my first pair, but a friend of mine assured me I wouldn’t regret it. He was right on the money so to speak. In the long run, they will pay for themselves.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy The Most Expensive Cowboy Boots Out There

The title of this paragraph might have you scratching your head. Why in the heck would he be saying this when he’s been talking about how buying expensive cowboy boots are worth it and the right thing to do. Well this has to do with your actions, not a fault of the cowboy boots themselves. Couple of reasons why you shouldn’t purchase a pair of boots like the $800 pair of boots I’ve talked about above. Something to think about.

Don’t buy them if the person is still too young. If the person in question is say 13 or 14 years old and their feet are still growing, I would not get them a pair of boots like this. You would think this would be common sense, but it’s not. I’ve heard of parents buying their kids a pair of Lucchese only very upset when they didn’t fit 6 months later. What did you think was going to happen?

Don’t buy an expensive brand of boots if you are rough on your footwear! This may also sound like something obvious, but you would be surprised. You wouldn’t take a Mercedes out 4 wheeling would you? Same thing when it comes to cowboy boots. The expensive brands might hold up better than a cheaper pair, but that doesn’t mean you should treat them rougher. These boots aren’t for the work site. They aren’t for hunting, fishing, or bull riding lol. They are a top quality pair of boots just like any other high end product and need to be treated that way.
These boots are built with the best leathers, heels, soles, stitching by the best boot makers in the world. You need to treat them as such. But hey, it’s up to you. If you don’t mind ruining a $900 pair of handmade boots, I guess that’s your choice. Tell you the truth, if I ruined a pair of boots that cost that much, I think I would cry.

Those Boots Are Made For Walking & Worth Every Penny

I hope you learned something here about expensive cowboy boot brands and why they are worth every penny! Sometimes when you see the price for a product, it’s not hard to dismiss it right away as costing too much and not being worth it. Sometimes it’s hard to see why it’s worth it. What it’s made from? Who made it and why they made it the way they did. All of these things can lead to a higher price tag, but over the long run, you are gonna save money.
To me it’s worth the extra money to have a pair of boots last years longer than a cheaper pair. I love that they form fit to my foot and I don’t have the hassle of breaking another pair in. This is something that is hard to put a price tag on. I really hope that you just don’t take my word for it. If you can, talk to someone that has a pair of boots like this and pick their brain. I can almost guarantee they will have the same feeling as I do. As always, I hope we’ve helped you find your new favorite pair of cowboy boots!
