The best work boots for men feature a higher shaft to support the ankle, a slip-resistant sole and reinforced toe. Here are top picks from Thorogood, Duradero and more.

From Lucchese and Tecovas to Stetson and Ariat, our experts rounded up the best cowboy-boot brands you need to know. Every pick is editor approved and reviewed.

The price might be the biggest relief outside of that ingenious footbed: At $175, Wolverine Rancher Pros are roughly half the price of many similar cowboy boots from Western style stalwart Stetson.

A simple cap toe is just one of the many details that gives Taylor Stitch and Stetson’s boots a timelessly stylish vibe. SHOP $348, taylorstitch.com.
