The Best Riding Boots For Women

Riding Boots Are Back, and They're the Sophisticated Shoe We Need Right Now

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Even if you've never been near a horse, there's a good chance you're familiar with riding boots. They're tall, elegant, and sophisticated, and this season, they're back. The riding boots of 2021, though, are a bit more modern, and it's worth noting that if you actually plan on getting on a horse, there are other high-performance options to choose from. But if your style inspiration is Bella Hadid in her Vogue 73 Questions video, you're in the right place.

Some of these boots have more of a pull-on Chelsea style, while others have buckles and even lug soles. They're all a little bit different, but they're all going to give you that crisp, pulled-together look you're after right about now. Keep on reading to shop our 11 favourites.
