Sampling the Features of Some Durango Cowboy Boots

Posted by Jackson's Western Store on Oct 19th 2020

At Jackson’s English & Western Store, we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our western boots but also on the breadth of our collection. Some of our customers come to us looking for Ariat Boots and others for Double H Boots, many of which are made in America and exemplary for classic ruggedness.

However, no list of cowboy boots, for work or impression, would be complete with Durango cowboy boots, and in our collection, you will find many fine examples of these. Take a look below at some of the features that you can find in many of our Durango Cowboy Boots that make them tough as nails, comfortable, and durable.

Full Grain Leather Construction - When it comes to leather, there is full-grain and then there is everything else. Full-grain leather, which contains the entire portion of the hide and is unsplit, is the toughest, most resilient, most adaptable grade. No other grade of leather will form to fit you as comfortably, and none will protect you as fully.

Waterproofing - Some of you will probably set forth a prerequisite that your boots must be waterproof. Whether you live and work in a wet climate or you just want to be protected against the periodic onslaught of wet fields, waterproofing can save the day. Some of our Durango Cowboy Boots have a waterproof membrane that will keep you dry when it’s coming down out there. Our Durango Men’s Maverick Pro Steel Toe Waterproof Work Boot is one of these.

Dual-Density Outsoles - Boots like the Durango Men’s Rebel Distressed Flag Embroidery CowboyBoot don’t just look great, they are loaded down with features to make them tougher and more comfortable. For example, this pair comes with dual density outsoles; some layers are treated to be tougher and more resistant to the conditions, whereas other layers are softer and better able to absorb impact and provide for some rebound.

Puncture Resistant Soles - Some job sites are rife with puncture hazards, from broken glass to sharp wires to scrap metal. All of them are dangerous and can’t be easily protected. Keep yourself safe with a pair of Durango Boots with puncture-resistant soles.

Fiberglass Shanks - Many Durango Boots are made with fiberglass shanks that will help add years to the life of the boot and support you as you move around on your feet all day. Plus, fiberglass is lightweight, strong, and security-friendly.

Double Row Sole Stitching - Some Durango Boots contain a double row of stitching on the sole. Single stitching is critical to the quality of a boot, but double row stitching can vastly improve the longevity of your boots and prevent the sole from separating.

Goodyear Welting - Goodyear welting protects not only the upper of the boot but also keeps the sole from separating, much like the double row stitch mentioned above.

Underslung Heels - Whether you ride and need a good grip in the stirrups or you spend a lot of time on a ladder, boots with an underslung heel will help you keep a secure grip, every time.

X-Pand System - Some Durango Boots also take advantage of their X-Pand System technology, which provides for a universal fit and excellent comfort. This system provides for an unrivaled degree of comfort and is often paired with boots such as the Frontier’s mentioned above that have an air mesh lining.

Safety Toe - Some job sites have not only puncture hazards but also crushing hazards, which can necessitate extra protection in the form of a safety toe. Many of the Durango Boots here on our website have safety toe constructions to protect the wearers from such risk.

Extra Room - Plenty of Durango Boots are made with features to enhance their room. For example, the Durango Women’s Rebel Pro Vented Purple Wide Calf CowboyBoots are made to afford extra calf room - but they also have features like the X-Pand System, detailed above.

Don’t forget as you are shopping through our collection of western boots and wear online that to get the full experience you should come to visit us in-store in Wayland, Michigan. There we can provide not only the same great selection but much better service.

In the event that you are looking for a pair of Durango Cowboy Boots, this is all the more important because with a purchase of any of our boots we offer free fitting, stretching, and break in services.

As anyone who has ever broken in a pair of boots before will know very well, there is quite a process involved in it. Any quality pair of boots worth its salt must be broken in before it can offer the wearer that classic custom feel, and there’s no way to cheat the process. Some people soak their boots, some people wear several pairs of socks, but one way or another you have to do it.

That is, unless, you come to visit us and let us handle the process for you, and for free! If you want to learn more about what other services we offer or to plan a visit, reach out to us at 269-792-2550 today.
