These El Vaquero Boots-Meet-Moccasins Should Be Your Next Splurge

What happens when you combine the hand-laced, sueded and fringed style of moccasins with the durability and structure of boots? You get one crazy-good shoe that’s up for anything. Accents like buckles, leather wraps, unique lacing, rabbit fur, and studs adorn these fashion-forward styles from El Vaquero.

I have to admit, I’ve never seen anything like this. There are so many different styles and colors it’s hard to pick a favorite! What I really appreciate about this line is the quality of the soles. Made with thick, treaded rubber soles these shoes are ready for just about any terrain and can handle a lot of daily wear and tear.

Some styles come with a wedge heel for adding a couple inches to your height and some are flat for those days when you’ve got a lot of walkin’ to do. No matter your personal style or where you plan to wear, there is a pair that will fit the bill.

Designer and fashion consultant Valerio Giuntoli founded El Vaquero in 1975, and since then the brand has won over national and international markets with unique and transgressive footwear. Loved by red carpet and pop stars alike, the line transcends trends with innovative and revolutionary ideas. Check out some of their styles below.
