How to choose your Dingo 1969 boots
Five decisions get you the right pair the first time.
Decide how you'll wear them
Tall classic boots suit jeans and dresses; short boots and booties are easier for daily wear; moto styles work for a tougher look; the Wedding collection is designed for special occasions.
Choose your height
Short boots are quicker to put on and pair with cropped jeans. Tall shafts look best tucked in or under midi dresses.
Get the fit right
Western boots should feel snug across the instep, with a little heel slip that settles as the leather breaks in. Check each product's size notes.
Allow for break-in
Leather softens with wear. Wear new boots at home for short periods before a long day out.
Plan for free shipping
Orders of $199 or more ship free, so combining a pair with an accessory can save on delivery.
