The Best Women's Cowboy Boots, According to a Shopping Editor

Cosmopolitan27-06-2025
It'd be a big ol' lie if I said I didn't used to think cowboy boots were only meant for country concerts and line dancing. Growing up in a beach town in California, it was hard to picture them outside the classic bootcut jeans, flannel shirt, and oversized belt combo—the kind of look I'd only ever seen in Brokeback Mountain. Can you blame me?
But fashion has a funny way of changing your mind because now that these iconic Western shoes are popping up everywhere—from city sidewalks to designer runways to music festivals—I'm fully sat and seated. Don't get me wrong, they've never gone out of style, but I'm only just waking up to how surprisingly versatile (and seriously chic) they are. So if you're ready to give your wardrobe a little yeehaw flair, I've rounded up the best women's cowboy boots that are genuinely worth adding to your cart.
Whether you're after something traditional like suede or leather, or full glam with metallics and pastels, I've got your perfect pair waiting to become your new (howdy) partner in crime. With top picks from brands like Tecovas, Ariat, Amazon, and more, there's something here to lasso up no matter your style or budget. Doesn't matter if you're shopping for your Cowboy Carter outfit, Bonnaroo, or you just wanna add some rustic charm to your looks, you'll find exactly what you're looking for below.

Taylor Swift on 'New Heights' live updates: Best Kelce moments, highlights

One of the most anticipated podcast episodes of 2025 – and maybe of all time – is here. The "New Heights" podcast featuring brothers Jason and Travis Kelce will have one of its highest-profile guests in its history today: Grammy Award-winning artist Taylor Swift. Swift and Travis Kelce have been a couple since September 2023. He went to one of Swift's shows at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – home of his Kansas City Chiefs – that summer and the two started dating shortly afterward. How Travis met Taylor: Friendship bracelets and 'Cupid' The Kelce brothers started the "New Heights" podcast in September 2022 and it's grown into one of the most popular podcasts on streaming platforms. Amazon's streaming platform Wondery bought the distribution and ad sales rights to the show for $100 million in August 2024. The podcast teased her appearance earlier this week with multiple clips. One in particular is of key interest for Swifties: her announcing the release of her new album "The Life of a Showgirl."

Has Taylor Swift been on Travis Kelce's podcast before? This is the first time Swift is appearing on the "New Heights" podcast but she's been mentioned by name before. Travis first talked about going to one of her concerts on an episode in July 2023. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made her," Travis said. "If you're up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets and I had received a bunch of them, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it." Two months later, the two were officially dating. What is the New Heights podcast? The show premiered on Sept. 7, 2022 when both brothers were active players in the NFL. Jason was entering his 12th and penultimate season with the Philadelphia Eagles as their starting center. He retired following the 2023 NFL season after earning his sixth career first-team All-Pro honor. Jason's career with the Eagles and Travis' with the Chiefs means prominent people from both franchises have appeared on the show. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, general manager Howie Roseman, coach Nick Sirianni and running back Saquon Barkley have all appeared at least once on the podcast. Same goes for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defensive tackle Chris Jones and coach Andy Reid. The podcast grew in popularity enough over the following two years that Wondery, Amazon's podcast platform, paid more than $100 million for the ad sales and distribution rights for the show.

The Democracy Center Presents 'Breaking the Frame: Two Solo Shows on Art and Identity' From August 21–23

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Daniel K. Inouye National Center for the Preservation of Democracy (Democracy Center) at the Japanese National Museum (JANM) presents Breaking the Frame: Two Solo Shows on Art and Identity from Thursday, August 21 through Saturday, August 23, 2025, in the Tateuchi Democracy Forum. A post-show Q&A panel with the artists will follow the matinee performance on August 23. Tickets are $20 and are available at In the wake of recent 'yellowface' accusations on Broadway, Hmong-American actor Bee Vang of Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino and local-born actor and opera singer Kurt Kanazawa deliver emotionally charged and satirical indictments of two Western art forms Share Breaking the Frame: Two Solo Shows on Art and Identity explores what happens when two Asian American solo performers fall deeply in love with Western mediums—movies and opera—only to discover that they both may be in too deep. In the wake of recent 'yellowface' accusations on Broadway, Hmong-American actor Bee Vang of Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino and local-born actor and opera singer Kurt Kanazawa deliver emotionally charged and satirical indictments of two Western art forms that continue to harm Asian Americans and BIPOCs, today. The performance is directed by Jeff Liu (East West Players) and co-directed by Kalina Ko (Hedgerow Theatre Company), with lighting design and assistant direction by Josh Bennett. Opening the program is Vang's solo show, Your Movie Guide to Life (2025), where the actor and lifelong cinephile delves into the shaping power of cinema, Hmong history, his anti-war activism, and his leading role in Gran Torino. This forty-five-minute solo performance weaves together existential horror in films with Bee's inherited histories—both personal and geopolitical. Closing the program is Kanazawa's solo show, L'OPERA! (2024), about a fun-loving, Japanese and Filipino-American opera singer who gets into The Juilliard School…then loses his voice. A funny, multilingual fifty-two-minute solo performance that travels through the streets of New York City, Southern Italy, Hollywood, and Beijing, and features live performances of songs, including originals, L'OPERA! is anything but Euro-centric classical.

George Strait Honors Cowboys With Special Tribute

George Strait Honors Cowboys With Special Tribute originally appeared on Parade. On Saturday, July 26, country music superstar and Wrangler jeans debuted a tribute to cowboys in honor of National Day of the Cowboy. It features Strait, with his deep, mellifluous voice, reading an excerpt of "Legacy of a Rodeo Man," a poem by the late artist Baxter Black. The Instagram video is captioned, "His legacy is rodeo.​ And Cowboy is his name.​​"To celebrate National Day of the Cowboy, Wrangler presents an excerpt from 'Legacy of a Rodeo Man' by Baxter Black, read by George Strait. We honor the cowboys past, present, and future whose courage, hard work, and sense of adventure keep the Western spirit alive. Long live Cowboys.​"In the video voice-over, Strait reads: There's a hundred years of historyand a hundred before thatAll gathered in the thinkin'Goin' on beneath this hat. And back behind his eyeballsAnd pumpin' through his veinsIs the ghost of every cowboyThat ever held the reins. The cold flame burns within him'Til his skin's as cold as iceAnd the dues he paid to get hereAre worth every sacrifice. All the miles spent sleepy drivin'All the money down the drain,All the 'if I's' and the 'nearly's'All the bandages and pain. All the female tears left dryin',All the fever and the fightAre just a small down paymentOn the ride he makes tonight. It's guts and love and glory,One mortal's chance at legacy is rodeoAnd cowboy is his name. Fans are loving the ad, with one writing in the comments, "This 🥹🫶🏻 Love it." Another fan added, "Felt deeply within the heart you don't have to be a real cowgirl to understand the desire in a cowboy's heart😇💫, beautiful poem." Strait is a known rodeo fan. In fact, back on May 31, Strait delivered the eulogy for one of his "very best friends," the legendary, eight-time world champion rodeo cowboy Roy "Super Looper" Cooper. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 George Strait Honors Cowboys With Special Tribute first appeared on Parade on Jul 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 26, 2025, where it first appeared.
