Cowgirl Boots

Leather Cowgirl Boots

Leather cowgirl boots age differently to other materials. The texture becomes more pronounced over time rather than wearing flat. Full quill ostrich, like the Anderson Bean Mint Paisley Embossed and Black Full Quill Ostrich is one of the most durable exotic leathers available.The quills are naturally flexible which means the boot moves with the foot without cracking. 

The R. Watson Black Rough Out Tall Top and the Rios of Mercedes Brown Marine Field Boots are both built for women who prefer more shaft height.

Choosing the Right Cowgirl Boot

For women competing in the show pen or arena, leather boots like the Anderson Bean Full Quill Ostrich or Corral Ivory Ostrich are a better choice than standard leather because of their unique texture and superior craftsmanship.  For daily ranch work and riding, rough out leather is the most practical choice because it holds up to hard use without looking worn out.
