About Sendra: Sendra has made leather boots in Almansa, Spain since Andrés Sendra founded the workshop in 1912, inspired by the cowboy boots he saw on a trip to the United States. The range is still built around Goodyear-welted western and biker styles, with hand-distressed or burnished finishes that give each pair a slightly individual look. We stock Sendra for customers who want a proper cowboy boot rather than a fashion imitation, with the snug close fit and break-in that comes with full-grain cowhide leather.

Sendra fit & sizing tips

  • Usual shoe size, not your trainer size. Sendra’s own advice is your usual shoe size, or one size down from your trainer size if you are between sizes. They publish EU against foot length in cm on their website. The leather then moulds and stretches slightly with wear.
  • Snug at first is normal. A new pair should feel close-fitting out of the box, loosening gradually as the leather softens.
  • Western styles fit closer through the foot. The traditional cowboy boot shape is narrower than a standard boot, so try your usual size before sizing up.
  • Our take. A genuine, hand-finished Spanish boot brand. Give new pairs time to break in rather than sizing up for instant comfort.

Sendra Boots

This is Sendra’s own boot chart, with UK, EU, US and foot length on one table for the sizes they make. Their advice is your usual shoe size, or one size down from a trainer size if you are between sizes, because a new pair is meant to feel close before the leather gives. Which sizes we can offer comes and goes with stock.

Western heel

The angled, stacked heel typical of cowboy boot styles, designed originally for riding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Sendra boots run true to size?

Sendra’s own guidance is your usual shoe size, or one size down from your trainer size if you are between sizes. Sizing can vary between models because the lasts differ, so we would always measure your foot in cm and try the specific boot rather than assuming from another western brand.

Should Sendra boots feel tight when I first put them on?

Yes, and that is normal. They are 100% cowhide leather with no laces to adjust the instep, so a new pair often feels firm through the width and tricky to pull on. Give them a few days of wear and the leather will soften and mould to your foot rather than sizing up for instant comfort.

I have wide feet. Are Sendra boots suitable?

Sendra’s standard western lasts run closer through the forefoot than a round-toe walking boot, so they suit an average to narrower foot best. Some styles are labelled wide, and if you are unsure we would rather measure you in the shop than guess from the EU size alone.

How long does it take to break in Sendra boots?

Most pairs need a short break-in period of regular wear before the leather fully relaxes. Start with shorter outings in the socks you plan to wear, and a little leather conditioner on the flex points can help the upper give without rushing the process.

Why does my heel slip when I walk in Sendra cowboy boots?

A slight heel lift as you walk is normal on laceless cowboy boots because you cannot tighten the instep the way you would on a laced boot. As the leather softens and your foot settles in, the movement usually reduces, though a small amount of slip is part of the western boot fit.

How should I care for Sendra leather boots?

Brush off dry mud, then work in a small amount of leather conditioner or boot cream to keep the cowhide supple. Let them dry naturally away from direct heat, use shoe trees between wears, and try new pairs on carpet so you do not scuff the soles before you are sure of the fit.
