How much are rick owen boots
We get this question constantly. Someone lands on the site, scrolls through the boots section, and messages us asking for the price like there’s one number that covers everything. There isn’t. A Combat Boot and a Blow Up Boot aren’t priced the same, and honestly they shouldn’t be, they’re built differently. So instead of giving you a vague range and calling it a day, here’s the real breakdown, pulled straight from what’s currently listed on our own Rick Owens store.
The $590 Club
Most of the leather boots land right at $590. Combat Boots, Fur Boots, Knee High, Thigh High, Tractor, Megatoot all of them sit in that same bracket. Even the Kiss Heels, which honestly feel more like a statement piece than a boot you’d wear every day, come in at $590 too. We didn’t expect that much consistency across such different silhouettes when we first started stocking these, but it’s held steady for a while now.
What About the Dr. Martens Collab?
People assume collabs cost more. Makes sense usually they do. But both versions of the Rick Owens x Dr. Martens boot, the Quad Sole Megalace and the Quad Sole Steel Toe, price out at the same $590 as the mainline stuff. No premium tacked on just because two names are on the box. If you want to compare the two side by side before deciding, the Rick Owens x Dr. Martens has both listed with whatever’s currently in stock.
The Cheaper Options
Not everything’s $590 though a couple styles run lighter, both literally and price-wise. The Blow Up Boots and Cargo Basket sit closer to $415. They’re built with less bulk than the full leather boots, so the lower price kind of makes sense once you actually hold one next to a Tractor Boot. If your budget’s tighter, these are worth a look before you write off the whole boot lineup as out of reach.
Buying Somewhere Other Than Here
We’ll be straight with you prices go up once you’re off our site. Department stores, boutiques, resale apps, all of them tack on a markup, sometimes a big one, especially once a colorway sells out and people start hunting for it secondhand. A pair that’s $590 here can show up for a lot more once it’s scarce. And if you spot a listing somewhere that looks suspiciously cheap? That’s usually a red flag, not a deal. We’d rather you know that upfront than get burned.
Why the Prices Vary So Much
It mostly comes down to what’s actually in the boot. Heavier construction, more leather, a chunkier sole all of that adds cost. The lighter styles skip some of that, so naturally they’re cheaper. What’s interesting is that the collab pricing doesn’t follow the usual pattern you’d see elsewhere in fashion, where a brand slaps a partner’s name on something and charges extra just for that. That’s not really happening here, at least not with what we carry.
Checking What’s Actually Available
Stock and pricing shift, so don’t treat any number here as permanent, treat it as a snapshot of right now. If you want the live picture, our Rick Owens boots reflects exactly what’s currently available and priced accordingly, not some average pulled together from old listings. That matters if you’re actually about to buy, versus just browsing for fun.
Is It Worth the Money?
Depends who you ask, honestly. Compared to other designer boots in the same tier, $415 to $590 isn’t out of line; plenty of brands charge more for boots with less going on design-wise. You’re not just paying for leather here. You’re paying for a silhouette people recognize instantly, a sole that holds up, and resale value that tends to stay strong if you ever decide to let a pair go. That last bit matters more than people expect when they’re on the fence about a purchase.
The Short Version
If you just want the number: figure somewhere between $415 and $590 depending on the style, buying direct through us. Go through resale or a third party and it can climb higher. Best move is checking the exact pair you’re eyeing rather than assuming one price fits the whole lineup because it really doesn’t.
