Paris Texas Cowboy Boots: The Dallas, El Dorado, Dakota and Tucson Texan Boots Compared
Paris Texas Cowboy Boots: The Dallas, El Dorado, Dakota and Tucson Texan Boots Compared
Paris Texas makes the cowboy boot that fashion editors mean when they say cowboy boot: a long pointed toe, a Western-stitched shaft and a covered heel, cut slim enough to wear with a dress and made in Italy on a leather sole. The house calls it the Texan boot and sells it in four shapes and about 37 versions. This guide goes through each one, the Dallas ankle boot, the Dakota mid-calf, the El Dorado knee-high and the embroidered Lidia and Tucson, with the heel heights, the materials and the pairs to buy first.
Key facts
- Four Texan shapes: Dallas ankle boot (60 and 100 mm, 18 styles), Dakota mid-calf (60 mm), El Dorado knee-high (100 mm, 11 styles) and the embroidered Lidia and Tucson Western boots.
- All sit on a covered block heel in the upper material, with Western stitching on the shaft, a pointed toe and a leather sole; some carry an engraved metal toe cap.
- Prices at Luxury Shoes : Dallas $1,290 to $1,450, El Dorado $1,680 to $2,200, embroidered Western boots to $3,080.
- Beyonce wore the white Paloma mid-calf Texan on the Cowboy Carter cover in 2024; the brand made her a custom crystal-fringed pair for the tour.
- Materials: calf leather, calf suede, brushed and vintage-finish leather, croc-embossed and lizard-print calf; no exotic skins.
Dallas: the Texan ankle boot
The Dallas is the everyday Texan and the best-selling boot in the range at Luxury Shoes . A shaft of about 15 cm, a pointed toe, Western stitching and a covered block heel at either 100 mm, which reads as a heel, and 60 mm, which walks like a flat. It comes in black suede, taupe suede, Cioccolato, Cuoio calf, Angora and, with the engraved metal cap, as the Dallas Embellished Toe. Wear it with a straight jean over the shaft, and read the comfort guide for why the 100 mm block is easier than it sounds.
El Dorado: the knee-high
The El Dorado is the knee-high Texan, on a 100 mm block with a shaft of about 41 cm at a size 37, and the boot most people picture when they picture the brand. It is the shape to wear under a long coat with a short hem, and the one that goes on back order each autumn. Black suede is the core; Angora is the pale suede closest to the white boot on the Cowboy Carter cover; Canyon is the tan a cowboy boot is meant to be; the Embellished Toe in black leather and Off Black suede add the engraved metal cap. The Beyonce boots page covers the cover pair in detail.
Dakota and Tucson: mid-calf and embroidered
The Dakota is the mid-calf version on a 60 mm block, a shaft of about 18.5 cm, the right height for a cropped jean and the easiest Texan to walk in. The Tucson is the embroidered Western boot on a 60 mm block, with python-print detail worked into the shaft, and the top of the range. The Lidia Western Embroidered in Ebano brushed leather and its black sister put the Western stitching on the Lidia stiletto last, for the woman who wants the cowboy references at a fashion height.

Fit and sizing
The Texan boots pull on, so the instep is the fit point. They run true to size; if you wear a half size, round down when your foot is narrow so the heel does not lift, up when it is wide. The brand publishes the shaft height and circumference at a size 37 on each boot page, and the circumference grows about 1 cm per size. The size guide has the EU, US and UK chart.
Care
Suede Texans want a protector spray before the first wear and a brush after each one; calf wants a dry cloth and a neutral cream now and then; the vintage-finish leathers are meant to mark. The pink leather sole scuffs on the first outing, which is normal, and a cobbler can add a thin rubber half-sole. The care guide goes material by material.
“Fits true to size”, the brand prints on nearly every product page, and on 100 of them “Model is 175 cm / 5,74 ft tall and wears a size 37 European sizes”. The fits-true-to-size line appears on 336 of the 350 product pages Luxury Handbags saved on 16 September 2026, and “European sizes” on 349; the brand publishes no other sizing advice, and its size guide gives EU 37 as US 7 and UK 4.
