Good Guys create a whole range of PETA-approved vegan cowboy boots. Below, we’ve selected our favorites.

The gold Dakota style is the perfect stand-out cowboy boot if you want to make a statement.

If you can’t decide between a heeled ankle boot or a cowboy boot, the Daisy style is the perfect blend of Chelsea boot meets cowgirl boot. In addition, the Daisy boot is perfect for effortless transitioning from a day to nighttime look. The Daisy boot is available in black, tan, and brown.

If you prefer a smaller heel, Good Guys also create a ‘Duke’ style, similar to the Daisy but with a smaller heel.
