Detailed Review
When it comes to the overall build quality, the Durango® Arena Pro™ stands out with its genuine leather that not only looks great but also promises long-lasting use. The double-row cotton stitching adds an extra layer of strength, ensuring that these boots can handle the rigors of daily wear.
Comfort is another highlight of these boots. The rolled shank area and the Stockman rocker heel contribute significantly to your foot's natural movements, making them a great option for extended usage. Unlike many other western boots that can feel cumbersome, this pair manages to balance style with functionality.
On the downside, it's important to mention that these boots are not water-resistant. If you often find yourself in wet conditions, you might want to consider alternatives or treat these boots with a waterproofing spray. Additionally, the slip-on closure may not appeal to everyone, particularly if you prefer a tighter fit.

User Reviews
No one makes real boots anymore but these are close. They don't feel like they are glued and pressed together. They feel like the boots from the 80's I used to get. I consider them good casual boots and suitable for saddle work but not great for the stable. Almost too nice to work in but the price is good. These are genuine riding boots that are good to walk in as well. Fit is snug but for real boots it is ok since they should stretch a bit and after a few days they broke in nicely. Best boots I have had in twenty five years since Ariat wanted to be on the runway rather than the stable. I have worn them for months now and no issues.
Got what I wanted, reasonably priced but well made leather sole boot. Size for me was pretty accurate. Little leather conditioner and the colors pop, super happy
Nice heavy leather, beautiful workmanship, fit great from the start. A bargain at the price. I expect to be wearing these for a long time.
Picked these up on sale and I like the color. bought the Arena Pro Cashew and Kelly Green boot just before this one and found the fit to be right on, so also bought these.The only complaint I really have is about the insole, while comfortable, it is not the same as the first boot that I bought. The first AP has a memory foam insole which makes it a lot softer on these ol' feet of mine.None the less, still a good boot for the money.This review is for the wheat color boot and not the worn saddle one.
Only boot I wear.
Great
SUPPPPPPERRRR upsetting! If i could give them a 0 Star i totally would!!! I Ordered these boots the first time in a size 10 for my dad as a Father’s Day present. Didn’t fit (my fault). However, ordered the correct size for the 2nd time but we’re really scuffed. Ordered a 3rd pair and were WORSE than the 2nd pair. Do they not check the items before sending them out?! Super frustrating!
Just as expected
