I love cowboy boots and had been eyeing this one for a while and finally decided to buy. Here's my take on this boot: first off, the size seems accurate, meaning I wear a 8.5 and bought a 8.5 and it fit fine. I added an insole liner and it was even better. I have worn Durangos in the past and they are good utilitarian boots. They will not be like other cowboy type boots in terms of wear and comfort, so don't expect that. They will be exactly what they are, durable. I have boots from Resistol and Frye, both of which are expensive but you get what you pay for (a wonderfully comfortable, wear all day cowboy boots with great leather). Durangos aren't quite that.

But these boots are what I wanted - an everyday affordable boot that had a rubber heel and foot for wearing in all kinds of weather including water. These won't last as long as my others but I can wear them often and they are nice looking. They are a bit heavy and clunky however, and like another reviewer, darker than what is shown. But they'll wear in after a while and be just fine. Not a bad boot or price.
