Durango® Westward™ Dark Hickory and Chili Red Western Boot Review
The Durango Westward Western Boot in Dark Hickory and Chili Red is an impressive addition to any cowboy's wardrobe. This 11-inch pull-on boot, crafted from full-grain leather, combines a traditional western aesthetic with modern comfort features.
What makes this boot stand out is the innovative Durango X-Pand System, allowing for effortless on and off wear. The soft mesh lining enhances overall comfort, making these boots suitable for extended periods of wear. With the Durango Advanced Comfort System Footbed and fiberglass shank, your feet will feel supported and cushioned all day long.
The design includes a little way stitch in both the forepart and shank area for remarkable durability, accompanied by a rolled shank that adds to the comfort level. The slip-resisting rubber outsole ensures stability, whether you're riding, walking or enjoying a casual day out. A subtle yet stylish square toe and a 2-inch western heel complete the look, merging functionality with eye-catching design.

I'm a bigger guy. I wear bigger size boots and a size thirteen I put the straight on my feet first day and have not had one issue since Definitely a good buy
I like the style and very comfortable to wear. I been wearing them since I got them. I have 2 Durango's boots now. I'm waiting for my third boots on Tuesday. For the price that I paid, it was worth it. Cheers to the seller who shipped them out quickly. Received them a day earlier.
I love these boots
Bought these for my husband as he loves this brand. His last pair lasted 6 years with almost daily wear! Can’t beat them.
I bought 2 pairs for Christmas gifts for my husband and grandson but had to return them both, the one pair the pull straps were just laying in the bottom of the box and the other one was to big. I was able to get a replacement for the one but the other is out of stock.
we got these on sale for $65!! couldn’t be happier
Boot looks great !
The only thing was the denim color is darker then what was pictured, but that is fine I like the darker blue better anyways!
