How To Make Sure Your Western Boots Fit Comfortably
Quality, comfortable cowboy boots provide a unique Texan style for day-to-day life. Rujo Boots offers Western boots in various skin options, as well as hand-hammered lemonwood pegs and brass nails. Here are some ways to make sure your boots fit comfortably:
Know Your Size
Knowing your size makes it easier to shop for Western boots. Before purchasing a new pair, measure both the length and the width of your foot to know your boot size. Knowing your preferred boot height can also make it easier to choose your style. Some websites provide information about the boot's shaft size, and this is the distance from the top of the sole to the top opening of the boot. This measurement provides more information on how the boot will fit on your leg.
A boot shop often carries sizes 8 to 14 for men and 6 to 11 for women. Men's width sizes include D and EE. Our website allows you to search for boots by size, making it easier to find a pair that fits you.
Choose Your Toe and Heel
Western boots come in multiple toe styles, including snip-toe, 7-toe, R-toe, and square toe. The snip-toe look offers a timeless boot design with a pointed toe. Choose a style that best fits your foot shape and comfort level; this helps avoid pinching or blistering, especially for long-term wear.
Select a heel height that works well for your center of balance. Lower heels are usually around 1.4 inches, and higher heels reach 2.5 inches. Check the product description to verify the heel height. Rujo Boots come with replaceable leather-stacked heels and rubber heel caps, extending your boots' lifespan.
Find Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
When looking for boots, find a company that uses genuine, high-quality materials to craft the boots. This includes authentic skins and leathers. Women's premium Western boots may be made from caiman and calfskin, while men's cowboy boots use alligator, lizard, and suede. Find stores that offer high-quality, comfortable linings for the inside of boots; this supports insulation and overall durability for long-lasting wear. Our boots are made from genuine hides and skins, and we use calfskin leather linings in all of them.
Schedule a Boot Fitting Appointment
Some companies allow you to schedule a boot fitting appointment, and they may last about 30 minutes. This allows you to visit the store's warehouse and try on boots in person. A boot fitting appointment gives you easier access to your size and lets you try on different styles to see how they feel. This experience makes it simpler to choose what boot and toe style is most comfortable for you to wear.
Invest in Boot Insoles
Boot insoles fit inside your shoe to provide additional padding and support, reducing foot pain. This makes it easier to walk in your boots for longer, allowing you to wear them on trips or to extended events, such as receptions. Insoles offer shock absorption for the heel, toe, and ball of your foot, and this provides pressure relief.
Insoles work on a one-size-fits-most basis, allowing you to trim them to fit comfortably inside your boot. Our Bickmore Cowboy and Cowgirl inserts utilize a propriety gel technology. These insoles also feature antimicrobial technology to reduce odor.

You can wear comfortable boots with jeans, slacks, and skirts. Our boots are designed in Texas and feature Goodyear Welt construction; they also have replaceable cowhide leather outsoles.
