The Enduring Appeal of the Cowboy Boot

The Enduring Appeal of the Cowboy Boot
SHARE

The influence of cowboy boots on fashion has experienced numerous resurgences. Americana takes center stage periodically, evident in Ralph Lauren’s timeless Western aesthetics and Marc Jacobs’s memorable 1992 Perry Ellis show, where Naomi Campbell made a striking entrance in black cowboy boots. That same year, Thierry Mugler showcased his revolutionary Western-inspired collection, adorned with cowgirl chaps and heeled booties worn by iconic nightlife figure Connie Fleming. Raf Simons’ era at Calvin Klein 205W39NYC introduced a modern twist featuring sleek steel-toed variations in vibrant patent hues like crimson, aqua, and gold. Recently, brands such as Isabel Marant, Schiaparelli, Khaite, and Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton menswear have also explored the cowboy boot trend.

Pop culture has significantly shaped the evolution of the cowboy boot. Icons like Marlon Brando, Dolly Parton, and Jimi Hendrix have immortalized the boot in legendary imagery. Renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Ernie Barnes, and Billy Schenck have also captured its essence, while contemporary figures from the music festival scene, including Vanessa Hudgens and Kendall Jenner, have made it their signature look — Jenner is often seen alongside denim cutoffs and boots during the 2010s. This October, Jenner and Gigi Hadid, lifelong pals and recent Vogue cover stars, embody a modern twist on Western style in an editorial featuring horses and boots. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has integrated cowboy boots into her wardrobe both on and offstage, including a pair of Louboutin boots mixed with a Kansas City Chiefs leather jacket during a recent show supporting her fiancĂ©, Travis Kelce. We must also consider the lasting impact of Beyoncé’s sensational Cowboy Carter tour, a retail phenomenon that had boots flying off shelves nationwide.

Lucchese, a historic Texas bootmaker with 142 years to its name, has become one of the most sought-after brands during this resurgence. Established in 1883 by Sicilian immigrants, Lucchese has outfitted everyone from U.S. presidents to movie stars, and even Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The demand for these boots comes as no surprise. “They are made in the same manner they have been for generations. Our methods haven’t changed,” explains Doug Hogue, vice president of product at Lucchese, in an interview with Vogue. Every pair is carefully crafted by a team of 180 to 200 artisans using a meticulous, hands-on approach. “You can wear our boots at the rodeo or when working on the ranch, as they were intended, or from a fashion standpoint,” Hogue conveys. This versatility contributes to their timelessness.

Westernwear influencer Justina Sharp views cowboy boots as more than simple footwear. “Cowboy boots are art,” she emphasizes. “When you delve into higher-quality cowboy boots, you begin to notice the craftsmanship elements that reveal the story behind the boot and its owner.” For many devoted enthusiasts, the cowboy boot represents an artisanal emblem of quality, distinguished by stitching, shaft heights, toe shapes, materials, and more.

A tour of the Lucchese factory located in El Paso, Texas provides a unique insight into the craftsmanship of cowboy boots. Each pair interlaces traditional artistry with cutting-edge techniques: hides are handpicked and cut using steel-rule dies, followed by intricate hand-stitching to form detailed designs. The upper sections are meticulously shaped, with some pairs featuring full hand-tooling—ensuring that each boot is a singular creation—then finished with stains that range from a soft matte to a glossy shine, each exhibiting a distinct patina.
