Ankle Cowboy Boots style guide
Pull on a pair of ankle cowboy boots over your favorite Levi's. Push the sleeves of an oversized tee. You're set for a Friday night that goes from the taqueria to the dance floor. These short Western boots give you the swagger of a full cowboy boot without swallowing your leg. They sit right under a midi dress or peek out from cropped jeans. Our lace-up platform pairs add height and a little punk attitude. The flower-print chunky-heel styles bring softness for brunch or a festival. Prefer something cleaner? The Western lace-up round-toe boots keep things easy with denim or a flowy skirt. Most styles run $30 to $55, so you can grab two before you'd normally spend on one. On sizing: these tend to fit true, but if you're between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, size up half. Break them in around the house for an evening before a long day out. Start with the lace-up styles if you want a snugger hold at the ankle.
Most of these styles fit true to size. If you're between sizes or want room for thicker socks in colder months, go up a half size. This is especially true with the lace-up platform pairs where the foot sits a bit higher.
They work with cropped or straight-leg jeans, a midi or flowy dress, or a denim skirt. For a dressed-up look, pair the flower-print chunky-heel style with a slip dress. For everyday, the round-toe lace-up boots go with rolled denim and a tee.
Yes. The chunky heel and platform sole spread your weight more than a thin stacked heel. They're steadier for a full evening out. Break them in at home for an hour or two first to soften the ankle before a long day.
