Having grown up in Los Angeles, I’m about as far from a cowboy as you can get. I came of age playing in pop-punk/emo bands, wearing skin-tight jeans and studded belts. In my 20s, I shuffled through a variety of fashion identities: there were the color-blocked American Apparel days, the frumpy suit and tie corporate-creative guy look, and a moment my friends will never let me live down: The Era of the Fedora.
That being said, throughout the years, I’ve definitely become more open to trying new things in the world of fashion and figuring out what I feel most comfortable in. Although there is one clothing item I’ve had my sights set on for years that I’ve never really had the courage to pull the trigger on – until now. I’m talking about cowboy boots. This bonafide city dude has dreams of struttin’ around the streets of LA, rockin’ a pair of authentic leather western boots. A boy can dream…
Well, sometimes dreams become reality! Enter Tecovas, a premium western brand that blends traditional craftsmanship, modern style, and good ole fashioned hospitality. Known for high-quality materials, broken-in comfort and sweet vintage look, Tecovas’ products offer a unique and authentic experience for their customers – no matter how far they live from the frontier. Tecovas boasts a variety of amazing western wear, including button-down pearl snap shirts and cowhide belts, but the real star of this premium western brand is their boots – which come in a variety of colors, materials, and styles. So, saddle up with this city dude as I cue you in on some of the best western boots on the market!

FASTEST GROWING WESTERN BRAND IN THE WORLD
Now before I feature some of my favorite western boots from Tecovas below, let me tell you a bit about what makes this brand so special. Tecovas is the fastest-growing western brand in the world, and it’s easy to see why. They’re committed to stellar hospitality and service, ensuring that every customer service interaction is infused with honest-to-goodness communication. Their authentic, handcrafted western goods aim to honor the true spirit of the West, delivering quality that resonates with tradition. Plus, their boots offer broken-in comfort right out of the box, so you can step out in style without the hassle of a painful break-in period (something I was personally dreading on my own personal boot journey.) Whether you're a seasoned cowboy or just dipping your toes into the western lifestyle like myself, Tecovas has something for everyone.
The Dean is Tecovas’ signature zipper cowboy boot and, in the world of western wear, a modern masterpiece designed for all-access versatility. With a slim-cut shaft, it pairs effortlessly with any jeans, and the subtly designed zipper makes slipping them on a breeze. Handmade with classic western construction in premium goat hide, The Dean may just be the most versatile western boot ever – and at a great price of $285. Goat hide is Tecovas best selling material for good reason—it's soft, rich in natural oils, and boasts a quick-to-patina quality, allowing it to age beautifully and develop unique character with each wear. Plus, with ten different colors to choose from (yup, you heard me – ten!), this boot is versatile enough for the ranch, the office, or a night out on the town. These boots aren’t just made for walkin’, people! They’re made for wearing in any and all social settings!

Now if you’re looking to spend a little extra cash on a little extra flash, consider The Garrett. This limited edition release brings exotic ostrich leg leather to a refined narrow- toe profile—a Tecovas first. Beautifully textured and remarkably durable, the natural scaling of this striking leather will be sure to make you stand out anywhere you go – although it does possess a relatively steep price tag of $525. The Garrett offers a bold aesthetic that stands apart from other exotics with its narrow, tile-like natural detail. Its sleek surface gives each boot a refined edge while sacrificing nothing in durability, making these boots a show-stopping yet practical investment for those who appreciate the unique character of each rare hide. In short: these suckers look sharp as hell!
