Best Cowboy Boots for Summer Concerts

Beyoncé’s latest cowgirl-era aesthetic—sparked by the release of her country album and tour—isn’t without controversy. Still, the music is stellar, and her mission to reclaim Black roots in the country music space is resonating. Fans are calling the tour “a masterpiece.” Perhaps, you’re one of them (or will be after going to the concert). 

If so, I have some fashion advice: You’ve got to look the part. No accessory completes the look quite like a standout pair of cowboy boots. Once a symbol of rugged Americana, they’ve evolved into a fashion staple with staying power. From knee-high classics to mid-calf styles and embellished ankle boots, these versatile shoes are officially back—and they’re the cherry on top of any concert outfit.

Below, I’ve rounded up 15 stylish options (designer picks included), with prices starting at just $43.

Best Cowboy Boots for Summer Concerts

Iuv Knee-High Size-Zipper Cowboy Boots

Kicking off our list are IUV’s Knee-High Side-Zipper Cowboy Boots, designed with embroidered details and a chunky heel. The faux-leather boots hit just below the knee, with a convenient instep zipper for easy on-and-off. The moisture-wicking lining was made for sweaty concert-goers, while the cushioned insole provides all-day support for dancing (and long bathroom lines). Pair them with a flowy midi dress or skirt with a side slit to show them off, then complete the look with a chunky belt that has an oversized buckle.

Dingo 1969 Primrose Leather Booties

Anthropologie’s Dingo 1969 Primrose Leather Booties add a touch of designer flair to any outfit. The timeless style has a full-grain leather upper in white, blue, or pink, adorned with colorful botanical embroidery for an overall striking vibe. The stacked 2.5-inch heel and no-slip rubber sole are primed for navigating varied concert terrain. Pair them with ankle-length jeans or a mini skirt. One reviewer even called them “one-of-a-kind boots and a great value!”

Dream Pairs Mid-Calf Square-Toe Cowboy Boots

Make a bold statement with these fire-engine red, mid-calf cowboy boots. Designed to put comfort at the forefront, they have a no-slip sole and foam-cushioned insole for easy all-day wear. The classic vintage stitching makes the faux-leather boots look like pricier options, and the slip-on style is easy to throw on at a moment’s notice. For the ultimate festival look, pair them with a white ruffled skirt and crop top.

Matisse Willa Western Boots

In typical Free People style, the Matisse Willa Western Boots are adorned with lavish wing-like embellishments. Made from faux leather, they feature a pointed toe, pull straps, and a low block heel. Choose from classic black or a rugged brown with turquoise embroidery. A tonal beige option offers a more understated look. As one shopper raved, “The design detail is amazing. I wore them all day while shopping and running errands on the first wear”—a true testament to their versatility.
