Reformation put a lot of thought into creating a truly sustainable shoe before launching its footwear department in 2021; the brand managed to save 5 lbs of carbon dioxide and 1,826 gallons of water when producing its Otto cowboy boot.

We love the Cacti stitching and curved cuffs on this suede pair, as well as those impressive eco credentials.

Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant was championing the cowboy boot long before its recent renaissance – and she drops a new style every season. This design is set on the brand's signature cone heel and has cursive Western-inspired embroidery running through the knee-high shaft.

Ganni

Red cowboy boots will forever be iconic. Lori Singer wore a pair as Ariel in the 1984 film Footloose; and the fascination with Jessica Simpson's scarlet pair in the 2005 Dukes of Hazard prompted the singer to launch her own (very successful) footwear line. The glossed leather on Ganni's embroidered design helps to create a striking, saturated finish.

Khaite

Khaite

If your personal style is a little quieter, Khaite's aptly named 'Dallas' boots are just the ticket. The label has swapped the cuban heel for an elegant slanted kitten, but kept the swirling Cacti embroidery and curved cuffs found on traditional cowboy styles.

Paris Texas

Paris Texas

Loved by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, Paris Texas is a go-to for what we like to call power boots. If you hadn't guessed from the name, Western influences feature heavily throughout the collection – but the style to snap up this season has to be the Rosalia, with its vibrant floral embroidery.

Aeyde

Aeyde

Aeyde's Italian-made boots offer a sharp and slick take on the trend. They're set on a sturdy stacked heel with a pointed toe and wide ankle opening, and finished with tonal embroidery.

Cos

Cos

A subtler nod to the trend, Cos' black leather boots are shaped to a wide, knee-high silhouette and set on a stubby slanted heel. We love the idea of pairing them with flowing linen separates to create a tougher take on spring staples.

Ariat

Ariat

If you want a truly authentic-looking Western boot, Ariat should be your first stop. This Heritage design has a knee-length shaft topped with pull tabs, an almond toe, slanted stacked heels, intricate embroidery and scalloped V-cut cuffs. Choose between distressed brown or this slick, more rock n' roll black.

Isabel Marant

For Isabel Marant, cowboy boots are a constant. How does the designer keep this look fresh? By staying true to the original style's loose shape, but switching things up with a cone heel or steel-capped toe. This ankle-high pair is made from orange suede, stitched with a pared-back take on western embroidery, and topped with V-cut cuffs.

The curved top of Mango's black leather boots, which hits just beneath the knee, makes them an especially flattering choice for wearing with shorter hemlines. Without traditional embroidery, they're ideal for minimalists who want to dip a tentative toe into the trend.

Aspiga

Aspiga

Spanish shoe brand Aspiga has put a more wearable block heel on the cowboy boot – it has less attitude than a cuban, we'll admit, but it's certainly easier to run errands in. This embroidered style is cut to the mid-calf and available in tan suede, black or white leather.

Ba&sh

Ba&sh

Looking for an evening-appropriate cowboy boot? Enter, Ba&ash's coveted Caitlin design – it keeps reappearing in the brand's collections for a reason. This ankle style is defined by its subtle Western-inspired embroidery and slender heel. We love how versatile the inky-black suede is, but you can also choose from taupe and khaki colourways.

Annie’s Ibiza X Terry de Havilland

Top of our wishlist is the Annie’s Ibiza and Terry de Havilland collaboration. Together the cult brands have created a limited collection of cowboy boots featuring a slim knee-high shaft, the signature Annie's Ibiza orange lining and TDH's iconic western appliqué. The silver and metallic-blue snake-embossed styles would look great styled with space-age chainmail at parties, but the smooth white and black leather styles are a more wearable choice for year-round styling.
