About Durango: Durango is an American western boot brand, started in Flowery Branch, Georgia in 1966, and now part of Rocky Brands. We have women’s Crush and Shyloh styles, a women’s harness boot, and men’s harness, Chelsea, Westward and tall Shyloh boots. Most have a cushioned footbed and a western heel.

Durango fit & sizing tips

  • Order the UK size. Durango’s chart gives a UK size, an EU size and a foot length in cm. The UK on our site matches their UK. The EU on our site does not always match theirs, so use the centimetre column, which is their figure.
  • Women, UK 4 to UK 6. Their chart says UK 4 is EU 38 (23 cm), UK 5 is EU 39 (24 cm) and UK 6 is EU 40 (25 cm). We show those as EU 37, 38 and 39.
  • Men, from UK 10. UK 7 and UK 9 match their EU. Our UK 10 is their EU 44 (we show EU 45), UK 11 is their EU 45, and UK 12 is their EU 46.
  • Coming from a US size. On their chart a women’s US 7 is UK 4, and a men’s US 8 is UK 7. Women’s US sizes sit three numbers above the UK. Men’s US sizes sit one number above.
  • Between sizes, go up. Measure both feet, heel to toe, standing, and use the longer one. If you fall between two lengths, Durango says take the bigger size.
  • Toe shape. A snip toe, on the tall Crush (DRD0494), is narrower than the round toe on the tall Shyloh (DDB0487). The length is still the UK size.

Durango Women’s Boots

Women’s Durango runs from UK 4 to UK 8. The Crush DRD0372 is an almond-toe boot with a side zip, two pull tabs, a removable cushioned insole and a 45 mm heel. The Crush bootie (RD3514) is a pull-on in waxy saddle leather with a 6 cm western heel. The Crush DRD0399 is a lower ankle boot with elastic sides, a welted leather sole and a 70 mm western heel. The tall Crush (DRD0494) has a snip toe, a stacked Cuban heel and a partial inner zip, and we only have it in UK 5. The Shyloh pony boot (DRD0492) is mid-height, with their ACS footbed and a 5 cm heel. The women’s harness (RD510) is a pull-on in waxy leather, with a chisel toe and a 4.5 cm block heel.

Durango Men’s Boots

Men’s Durango runs from UK 7 to UK 12. The harness boot (DB594) is a pull-on with a hardened toe, a harness ring and a 4 cm western heel, on a slip-resistant rubber sole. The Shyloh Chelsea (DDB0526) has elastic sides, a chisel toe, a removable ACS insole and a 4 cm heel. The Westward (DDB0342) uses their Expand gusset, so the shaft gives a little as you pull it on, with an ACS footbed. The tall Shyloh (DDB0487) has a round toe, a removable ACS insole and a 4.5 cm heel, and it is the one that goes up to UK 12.

Looking after the leather

Wipe mud off once it is dry and use a leather conditioner on the waxy and vintage finishes. The removable insoles, where the style has one, can come out to air the boot. Keep them away from a radiator. A western heel is not a work sole on every style: the tall Crush has a leather sole, while the harness and Shyloh styles we stock have rubber.

Glossary

ACS

Durango’s Advanced Comfort System, a cushioned footbed. On the Shyloh Chelsea and the tall Shyloh it lifts out.

DSC

The cushioned insole system on the Crush ankle boot DRD0399. It is there for shock absorption under a 70 mm heel.

Expand

An elastic gusset inside the Westward shaft, with two pull tugs, so the boot opens as you put it on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Durango boots run true to size?

Durango asks you to measure the longer foot and take the bigger size if you are between two lengths. They do not tell you to size down. Use the centimetre column for the UK size you usually take, and go up if your measurement sits between two rows.

Why does the EU size here differ from Durango’s chart?

Our website converts UK to EU on a standard shop scale. Durango’s own EU is one size higher for women’s UK 4, 5 and 6, and one size lower for men’s UK 10, 11 and 12. The UK size and the centimetre length are the pair to trust.

I know my US size. What do I order?

Use Durango’s conversion, not a generic one. Women’s US 7 is UK 4, US 8 is UK 5, US 9 is UK 6, US 10 is UK 7 and US 11 is UK 8. Men’s US 8 is UK 7, US 10 is UK 9, US 11 is UK 10, US 12 is UK 11 and US 13 is UK 12.

Can I take the insole out?

Yes on the styles that say so: the Crush DRD0372, the Shyloh Chelsea and the tall Shyloh. That gives you room for a slim orthotic, or just to air the boot. The Westward’s ACS is built into the footbed, so do not assume that one lifts out.

Are these wide fitting?

The sizes on our site are not split into medium and wide. Durango does make an M and a W on some boots. If you need a wide western boot, check the width letter on the box before you assume these are a wide fit.
