From dusty rodeo ranches to muddy music festivals, barnyards and backroads to the heights of John Wayne on the silver screen, it’s hard to name a more iconic boot than the cowboy boot.
They’ve been kicking up the dust since 1966, making footprints around the world, and today, they’re two-stepping straight into the British country clothing wardrobe- and we’re definitely here for it!
So saddle up, country style lovers, as we show you why a pair of Durango boots is the missing piece your country wardrobe’s been waiting for.
Functionality Meets Fashion: The Durango Legacy
Durango first stepped onto the western scene in the small southern town of Flowery Branch, Georgia. Now headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, this all-American brand has earned its spurs as a true trailblazer in the Western footwear world, serving ranch hands, rodeo riders, and western wear fans for decades.
But it’s not just cowboys pulling up their boots. Durango have evolved far beyond their ranch beginnings, kicking down the stable doors and marching straight into the mainstream, strutting their way from cattle ranches to Instagram feeds faster than you can say “howdy.”
As Durango paves their way as a festival favourite and a must-have on the UK country scene, there’s more than just fashion to these hard-working, head-turning boots. With their durability and quality time-tested, these are boots made to last and rooted in the values of their American heritage- and if you’re wondering just how cowboy they really are, they sure walk the walk, with every member of Team Durango having ridden in the 2023 PRCA Wrangler National Finals Rodeo!
Ready for Rural Life
From the American West to the British countryside, rural life demands footwear that performs under pressure. Living by the motto ‘Made For What You Do,’ Durango boots are the real deal. Expertly crafted from Durable, full-grain leather, they are tough, weather-resistant, and ready to ride through years of wear, without missing a step.
With practicality being just as important as style for life in the countryside, whether mucking out stalls, carting bales, or heading out on the daily hack, Durango’s technical features make their boots even more comfortable and practical, whatever the day rounds up.
Slip-resistant soles, fibreglass shanks, mesh lining and cushioned insoles, mean Durango boots are as functional as they are fine lookin’, and with a variety of styles from work boots to Western fashion boots, there’s sure to be a style that will keep you comfortable and looking cool in the country, come rain or shine, mud or dust.
A Durango Boot for Every Occasion
When you're picking out your cowboy boots, you're looking for longevity, comfort, and of course, style. Durango Boots tick all these boxes, and with a fit for every occasion in both men's and women's sizes, Durango Boots have your back (and your feet).
The only question left: which is the boot for you?
Performance Boots: Featuring a Dually Shank System, these stirrup-friendly riding boots are loved by world-champion rodeo athletes- and always perform under pressure.
There’s no need to pick between performance and personality with a pair of colourful Women's Rebel Pros- bold, bright, and built for business. Or maybe, if you’re looking for a more classic option, a pair of Arena pros will have you feeling stylish and sophisticated in the saddle.
Fashion and Casual Boots: Whether you’re out on the town or taking time off-duty, these boots mean you can catch up or kick back in all-day comfort, with all-out southern style.
Mixing Western flair with a modern twist, a pair of Durango Crush boots strikes the perfect blend of country charm and city chic. Try the longer look at 13 inches, add stars to your straps with some Shortie Boots, or go versatile and vintage with a pair of Driftwood Crush boots.
Work Boots: For farmers, workers and all-around hard grafters, work boots meet Western wear for Durango’s that earn their keep in the dust and dirt.
Brave the elements on any job with a pair of Rebel Waterproof Boots, or cover all ground with the Men's Red Dirt Rebel Boots. Packed with workhorse features and Western edge, these boots are lightweight but tough and, of course, always look good.
Western Boots: Sometimes you need a versatile boot that can do it all - tough enough for a day on the trail, yet sharp enough for a night under the neon lights.
With a traditional Western upper and the sole DNA of an athletic shoe, the Durango Rebel Boot is an all-around game-changer. Riding the line between classic cowboy style and modern-day comfort, the mould-breaking Rebel Boots have you covered from the saddle right to the saloon (sorry, we mean the pub!)
Styling Your Durango Boots
From sunrise on the farm to chasing sunsets into town, Durango boots aren’t just made for walking, they’re made for living (and looking good doing it!) To bring that Western charm to your Country wardrobe, try these smart styling tips:
- Throw on an Ariat shirt, or any trusty check shirt that suits, roll the sleeves, and you’re already halfway to ranch-ready.
- Lumberjack looks great for the yard, while a waxed jacket or gilet adds that countryside polish that says, “I work hard, but I clean up real nice.”
- Slide into some much-loved jeans, and finish it off with a leather belt to hold that tucked shirt (and your ‘britches’) in place.
- Whether you're going the country mile or just complementing your Durango’s in your everyday ensemble, finish off the look with an iconic Stetson Trucker Cap, or for the ladies, maybe a classic felt hat, for head-to-toe country-inspired chic.
