Cowboy Boots - Worth the Money?

Cowboy boots are making quite the fashion statement this fall. The Western-styled shoes can be paired with just about anything from dresses and skirts to shorts and jeans. Cowboy boots are a great statement piece to any minimalistic outfit, serving almost as a foot accessory. Although these Western boots are a perfect touch to a simple outfit, they come at pretty high prices. The price of a good pair of cowboy boots start at around $100-$150, so are they worth it?

Fashion Icons Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa have been seen supporting the cowboy boot trend, along with other celebrities. That said, these trendsetters are only a few of the many you’ll see on your Instagram feed dressed in cowboy boots. Trends really do come and go, so it’s important to actually think before you buy. 

If you don’t like wearing boots and booties, then cowboy boots are definitely not for you. They can give a heavier feel and a more distinctive look on your legs than sneakers normally would. With price comes comfort, however, so if you’re looking for excellent support then cowboy boots are a good investment. Some people also don’t like splurging on shoes, rather they’d save their fashion money for the actual clothing part of the outfit. Then again, a good pair of shoes can totally tie together an outfit and cowboy boots look good with a variety of different pieces of clothing. Even though they can go with most simple outfits, cowboy boots aren’t your typical white sneakers. They aren't everyday wear, so if you buy them, make sure you’re wearing them! 

Of course, this is a matter of individual style and personal choice, so make sure to share your decision with us @theedgemag.
