Choosing the Right Men's Black Cowboy Boot
Rough out leather is the right choice for riders who spend long days in the arena or on the ranch. It hides scuffs, doesn't need polishing, and holds up to hard use. For riders competing in the show pen, full quill ostrich like the Lucchese Roscoe or Anderson Bean Sea Foam Barcelona commands attention and holds its finish through a full day of showing.
Caiman belly leather on the Anderson Bean Black Caiman Belly is one of the most durable exotic leathers available. The natural scale pattern makes each boot unique and the material resists cracking better than other types of boots. For men who wear their boots beyond the ranch and arena, black is the most versatile color. It works as well at a show as it does at dinner.
Black Leather That Gets Better With Age
Black leather boots age differently to lighter colors. The finish deepens over time rather than fading, and scuffs blend into the leather rather than standing out. Full grain leather like the Rios of Mercedes Black Waxy Kansas and the Fenoglio Black Deertan develops a natural patina over time that adds character to the boot.
Rough out leather like the R. Watson and Hyer styles takes on a worn finish that suits hard working boots. Exotic leathers like ostrich and caiman maintain their texture and hold their shape longer than standard leather.
FAQ
What is the best leather for men's black cowboy boots?
The right leather depends on how the boots will be used. Rough out leather is the most practical for ranch work and arena use while full quill ostrich and caiman belly are the premium choices for the show pen.
Do black cowboy boots go with everything?
Black is the most versatile color in western footwear. A well-made black leather boot works as well in the show pen as it does at a dinner or a night out.
How should men's black cowboy boots fit?
Men's cowboy boots should feel snug across the instep with a slight slip in the heel when new. Leather boots will break in and mould to the foot over time. When between sizes, size up and allow the leather to break in.
Are these boots suitable for riding?
Yes. All boots here are built with a proper western heel that keeps the foot secure in the stirrup.
