Wild West: This Season's Best Brand For Authentic Women’s Cowboy Boots

This year marks a decade since the seminal, generation-defining song ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ was released, creating an international soft spot for southern American flair - and placing all things Country firmly in the mainstream. It’s safe to say that during that time the iconic visual of Miley Cyrus rocking denim shorts and singing on top of a pick-up truck was implanted in our brains and, soon after when Ke$ha released the music video for ‘Tik Tok’, it solidified one thing that seemed of utmost importance in 2009: cowboy boots were something we needed to buy immediately. 

Ten years on, you may be surprised to hear that these Country clothing stalwarts are back in a big way. In fact, there has never been a better time to channel the wild west as cowboy boots in all their guises are the most popular shoe choice of the season, perfect to be worn with other key pieces for 2019 including prairie tops, denim dresses and ditsy floral midi dresses. Celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Alexa Chung, Kendall Jenner and even Holly Willoughby have been spotted in them all over, as well as loads of our favourite influencers. But, for our own pursuits, finding the right pair of boots that not only feel genuinely western but also price appropriate (with the quality to match!) has proven to be a little difficult for most. Luckily, we’ve found a brand that meets all our criteria...

Ariat is an equestrian footwear and clothing brand that specialises in authentic country and western footwear, meaning you can get the cowboy boots you’ve been dreaming of. For real. Ones that not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. They boast western embroidery designs and trendy patterns that feel seriously current, but also are made with premium full-grain leather and a durable sole that’s still light on the feet, along with a cushioned interior for added comfort. Talk about the whole package. 

Their western boots come in a few lengths, including short ankle, medium and high leg cowboy boots. And, the best part is, they’ll all look just as good peeking out the bottom of a pair of flare jeans as they do paired with a satin shirt or fringe leather jacket.

So if this is your first time at the rodeo, and you’re looking for a great pair of women’s cowboy boots to elevate your outfits and see you through boots season and beyond, look no further than Ariat. We rounded up some of our favourite footwear picks from Ariat 2019 western collection just for you, so you can stop holding your horses and make your way to the Old Town Road in style, ASAP.
