Modern-Edgy Wyatt Studded Leather Belt Boots by KG Kurt Geiger

While I was browsing for some new cowgirl boots at Luisaviaroma, the KG Kurt Geiger Wyatt Studded Leather Belt Boots caught my attention.

This is in contrast to other classic cowboy boots but you can see that this still holds some Western features. This is made of leather and it has Western-style stitching all over. Additionally, to make this look even tougher and edgier, pointed and round gunmetal studs are embellished at the vamp. There are also buckled straps here: one across the vamp and a wider strap with double buckle fastening at the ankle. While these straps could help create perfect fit, the zipper fastening at the rear should help for easy on and off.

Like most cowgirl boots, this also has a pointed toe, which adds a flirty and a more feminine look. In addition to this, there’s a 4-inch pin heel that could add height and sexier look!

High Fashion + Rugged Design = Lanvin High Heel Cowboy Boot

If you think a cowgirl boot that’s high fashion isn’t possible, you better think again and take a look at the Lanvin High-Heel Cowboy boot.

Thanks to the 5-inch covered high heel with hidden platform as this obviously sets high-fashion in this boot. Imagine this as a flat boot— this would just look like other cowgirl boots, right?

This is made of vegetable-dyed calfskin and it features contrast Western-style stitching. There seems to be some leather overlay cutouts, too, which are visible at the vamp and heel counter, that also add to its Western design. Leather piping, pull tabs and metal plate detail at the pointed toe are as well present here; and if you notice, this knee-high boot also features an arced topline, which all the more makes it look like a cowgirl boot.

Uniquely Handpainted Tattoo Boots by El Vaquero

Love El Vaquero designs? I bet you’ll love the brand more with the El Vaquero Boots Tattoo Boots. This boot is so unique and I’m assuming that no El Vaquero Tattoo boot is exactly the same since each is hand painted. Don’t you just love that? You’ll have this boot design all to yourself!

The design on this boot, which you can see only on the outer side, is a speared heart. Very dramatic and vintage, huh? The colors are also very classic and at the same time stylish. The outer side may only show brown and blue (which is actually a painting of sky), but the inner side shows more colors— blue, brown, yellow-orange and red. How’s that? This comes complete with about 3.5-inch of heel that’s also painted in blue.

Frye Deborah Star Short Boots: Tough, Charming or both?

How about owning a studded cowgirl boot that doesn’t look so tough? Here’s the Frye Deborah Star Short Boots which is exactly what I’m talking about.

Frye Deborah Star Short BootsFrye Deborah Star Short Boots, $498

This boot looks charming to me, actually. I love the entire design here as it combines girly, charming look with just a little toughness. And with such look, you know you can pair this up with just about anything.

The thin crackled leather is what actually gives the boot’s tough, edgy look. Although studs usually make a boot tough, the studs on this boot simply make this more appealing and charming. You see, the studs here don’t come in the usual gold-tone or bronze; instead, the mixed-metal grommets and studs in this boot are in multiple colors. They’re shimmering like crystals all over the shaft, giving this a feminine finish.

Additionally, this boot has a star cutout at the vamp which is also embellished with studs and grommets.

This cowgirl boot then has a pull tab at the outer side and a zipper fastening on the inner side. Also, like usual cowgirl boots, this has a notched top and a stacked heel, too, that measures about 1.5-inch.

Patriotic Leather Wedge Cowboy Boots by Giuseppe Zanotti

How do you like a chic patriotic style? It’s not the Fourth of July, I know, but does it always have to be Independence Day before someone shows patriotic fashion? I guess not. If you love America then why not show patriotism every time but of course in style? The Giuseppe Zanotti Leather Wedge Cowboy Boots should help a lot!

Obviously, this is inspired by the American flag but it remains very stylish. It’s from Giuseppe Zanotti after all; and actually, I was surprised to see that the brand also makes such.

The American flag is detailed at the 8-inch shaft. This is completed with red and white striped design while blue comes around the top with silver stars.

You might want to wear this with reds and blues, too, to show more of your love for the country or if you find that too much, you know you can always wear this with casual ensembles or perhaps even with dresses for an edgy, country girl-style party look.

This boot is made of smooth leather and it shows a bit of classic cowgirl boot silhouette. You see, it has a pointed toe and the opening is curved plus it also has pull tabs. What makes this a little different is the stacked wedge heel that measures about four inches.

Now if you’re not sure with this patriotic version, you can just go with its plain black and plain brown versions:
