Men's Suede Cowboy Boots

The Horse Power Black Suede Rough Out and Camel Suede Emerald Explosion sit at a standard shaft height for men who prefer a more traditional profile. The R. Watson Sand Blue Rough Out and Hyer Culver Rough Out Eggplant Vintage Goat Shaft both pair rough out cowhide with a contrasting shaft material which gives more visual depth than a single-material boot. For men who want a rough out boot with a more distinctive hide, the Olathe Brown Rosewood Kudu Rough Out uses kudu hide in place of cowhide. Kudu leather has a natural grain that sets it apart. The Rios of Mercedes Navy Calf Tan Crazy Horse Rough Out is built on Crazy Horse leather, a waxed full grain cowhide that develops a pronounced patina over time.

Why Suede and Rough Out

Rough out leather is cowhide that has been reversed so the napped side faces outward. It hides scuffs better than smooth leather, doesn't need polishing, and holds up to arena and ranch work without looking worn out. A rough out boot that's been through a full season of work looks better than a smooth leather boot that's been through the same. 

Suede cowhide is the same material but typically finished with a finer nap which gives it a softer appearance. Both materials require a suede brush and a water repellent spray rather than traditional leather polish.
