Whether you opt for denim jeans or midi dresses – there’s no end to the ways these ‘absolutely gorgeous’ boots can be styled
If you’re looking for a pair of stylish boots that will elevate your outfits this spring, look no further. As a fashion writer, I spend hours scrolling through the new-in section of the most popular high-street retailers every day, and little has excited me more than these Forever Comfort Leather Ankle Western Cowboy Boots from Next in recent weeks.
The Western-inspired short cowboy boots come in an impressive seven colours and patterns, including black, chocolate brown suede, neutral, grey and tan. There’s even a leopard print pair for those keen to tackle two trends in one, as well as a champagne-gold boho pair.
Perfect for pairing with denim pieces or flowy dresses and skirts, the boots have been lauded by fashion fans who have said they’re ‘very comfortable’ and ‘look more expensive’ than their price tag suggests. All of the boots come in at a surprisingly affordable £59 – except the leopard pair, which are £69.

As well as a variety of shades to suit your personal style and existing wardrobe, the boots seem to be made for all, with all of the boots coming in a standard/wide fit, with some available in extra wide, too. They’re available in sizes from three to 9, with some even coming in half sizes.
They’re really easy to get on and off thanks to the handy zippered side fastening, while the Forever Comfort cushioned foot-bed provides all day comfort. And for those looking to add a little bit of height to their outfit, and give the appearance of longer legs, they’ve even got a short block heel, making them a dream for dressing up an outfit.
Online, they’ve racked up a number of five star reviews from shoppers, with one commenting: “Super comfortable and super stylish. Had lots of comments when wearing them.”
Another added: “Gorgeous boots, very comfortable but very stylish too. Great to wear with jeans, trousers or dresses, bang on trend. Well made and look more expensive than their price tag.”
“These boots are absolutely gorgeous,” wrote a third. “I usually don’t buy shoes like these, it was a real treat and I loved them so much I ended up buying them in another colour. Really comfortable, suede is lovely, subtle cowboy style.”
Some shoppers have complained about the fit of the boots, with one three star comment reading: “Well priced boot, but they just weren’t comfortable and not a great fit. They look nice though.”
Meanwhile, another shopper added: “Love these boots! So comfortable, especially with the extra width fittings and larger sizes. Love that they are leather which means they will wear in nicely. Only worn once so far but received compliments already. Nice update on wardrobe in an easy way too. They go great with denim or dresses.”
Elsewhere, at Marks and Spencer, there are these Cowboy Block Heel Ankle Boots for £49.50, however, they’re not real leather, aside from the heel. Finished with a neat pointed toe and zip fastening, they are designed with comfortable Insolia technology that makes them comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
For something a little more trend-led, how about these Brown Suede Kitten Heel Western Boots, from River Island for £66. These lean into a western aesthetic but are made in a rich tan hue that’s on trend for 2025. Paired with some denim wide-leg jeans, these are great for making a casual look feel more elevated.
