These Princewestern-flair boots from Paul Green are currently 61% off on Zappos, going for about $143–which would be 143 of your best-spent bucks, especially if you’re into the current Western-craze. I confess I’m not–I can’t pull off cowboy boots or hats, heavy buckles, or suede fringes of any sort, though I thoroughly admire those who do it with style. And style is at the forefront with these boots, in a combination of suede and croc leather upper, and a user-friendly 2" heel.

I crave them so much I might as well give up my stylistic allegiances (which veer kind of all over the place but definitely away from Western). It also doesn’t hurt that from my personal experience, Paul Green is a brand well-worth investing in. I have a pair of summer slides with a 1 3/4" heel, which is basically my most comfortable and versatile summer shoe. This European designer understands two things: comfort and quality. Those slides are superbly constructed and have the best arch support. They are definitely meant for walking, as are these beautiful boots.
