Whether you’re heading out in your Sunday best or going to the honky tonk, a good pair of exotic boots can take your outfit to the next level. However, they can be very expensive and difficult to obtain depending on the type of exotic leather used. Here are a few pairs that can be purchased for less than $300 to start or expand your exotics collection.
In this price range, the exotic leathers that are most common are smooth quill ostrich, ostrich leg, and snake or lizard. There are some advantages and disadvantages to each of these so we will discuss those to help you make the best decision for your purchase.
Smooth quill ostrich is a very comfortable and moderately durable leather. They look great and are certainly a staple in any cowboy’s arsenal.
Lizard and snake skin boots look great and bring a unique element to any western outfit. While generally comfortable, they are not known for their durability and usually serve as a dress boot rather than an everyday wear.
While not as common, our list does also include a pair of boots made from sea bass. Similar to lizard and snake, they make a great dress boot and offer a unique look.
Here are a few pairs of men’s exotic cowboy boots that can be purchased for under $300.
