Mens Cowboy boots online at EMP

Listen, cowboy, it’s time to giddy up and get on board with the trend of men’s cowboy boots…

Originally donned as a horse-riding boot, men’s cowboy boots can be traced back to the 1800s in America’s mid-west. They were purely functional to begin with - used as a means of keeping a rancher’s foot anchored in riding stirrups for grip and protection, cowboy boots featured a small, stacked heel to prevent slippage, while decorative stitching would help the leather maintain its shape.

While they're historically associated with rough and rugged ranchers, wranglers, and the rural cowboy, it’s undeniable that men’s cowboy boots have earned themselves a spot in the shoe cupboard of even the most urban of urban cowboys nowadays (that’s a polite way of saying pampered city boys and the ‘indoor’ types…)

The selection of men’s cowboy boots from EMP include everything you’ve come to expect from the timeless style, including pairs made from durable leather with features that make them suitable for everyday life, like zips and cushioned insoles. Pairs from brands like Dockers by Gerli are made in timeless colours, like black and brown, and make excellent daily choices, easily integrated with clothes you already have.
