Finding the Best Western Boots for Men
There are plenty of excellent options when it comes to men’s Western boots and cowboy boots, whatever the occasion. Let’s explore some Western footwear options for performance and fashion needs.
Men’s Western Boots for Farm & Ranch Work
Farm, barn, ranch, and yard work is demanding, physical labour – so your boots need to protect and keep you comfortable as you work. When you’re searching for performance-driven Western boots for men, make sure to check that the boots can stand up to hard work and harsh weather. Here are some of our favourite Ariat Western boots for performance.
Rowder VentTEK 360° Western Boot
Available in two colours to match your style and with traditional Western design panels, these boots pair style and practicality seamlessly. With temperature regulating design, VentTEK panels, and a lightweight sole, Ariat’s Rowder VentTEK 360° Western Boots are a performance-focused Western boot for men working in a range of outdoor environments.
Hybrid Ranchwork Western Boot
Ranch work means working hard in unpredictable weather, so the extra-grippy sole on the Hybrid Ranchwork boots is a saviour in slippery conditions. The practicalities don’t end there though; the Shock Shield protects your feet from fatiguing, meaning you feel more comfortable for longer whilst working. With flexibility and shock protection, and high-quality leather design, these are performance Western boots you can rely on.
Men’s Western Boots for Fashion
Not only are Western boots a longstanding part of the cowboy look, but they are also a timeless classic in any menswear wardrobe. With so many ways to incorporate Western boots into your style, finding a versatile pair that you can wear with anything will take your aesthetic to the next level. Or if you love a Western boot, why not add to your collection with bold designs?
Heritage R Toe Western Boot
The R toe is also known as the classic toe, and these Heritage R Toe Western boots certainly convey that authentic, classic cowboy look. With a mid-calf rise decorated in a distressed stitched-leather design, the Ariat Heritage style can transform any average aesthetic into a Western statement. The cushioned sole and wear-resistant outsole also ensure that this is a look you can rely on – so you can add it to your regular wardrobe with confidence.
Midtown Rambler Boot
A slightly more lowkey Western look, but one that still adds flair to your style, the Midtown Rambler boots from Ariat combine Western fundamentals with a classic men’s ankle boot. The pull-on design contributes to the overall comfort of the boots and the design balances rock ‘n’ roll ruggedness with classic menswear reliability.
