Q&A

Meet The Darin

The Darin is the first boot in the RUJO Collection to feature the exotic Pirarucu Fish hide. This leather has a dramatic textured appearance that will age beautifully with time. We source only the best examples of Pirarucu leather straight from the Amazon River to give you the premier example of high-end exotic boots at an unbeatable price.

High-Quality Pirarucu Fish Hide

Pirarucu Fish is unique among exotic leathers due to its dramatic texture and coloration. The Darin is made from sustainably sourced Pirarucu Fish from the Amazon River that has been expertly treated for a durable yet flexible fit.

Like Walking on a Cloud

Cloud Walk. The name says it all. We know that comfort is king and our specially-designed memory foam insoles are comfort royalty. To wear a pair of boots with RUJO's Cloud Walk cushioning is to know how a great pair of boots should feel.

We Sweat The Details

Every element of our boots is hand-made by the famed master craftsmen of León, Mexico. Take a closer look at The Darin’s triple-stitched pull-straps, or the beautiful hand-embroidered designs on the shaft, and you’ll see what we mean when we say “The RUJO Difference.”

A Better Boot for a Better Price

Every pair of RUJO Boots is uniquely authentic—a perfect blend of tradition and technology—and is designed right here in Dallas, Texas and handcrafted in León, Mexico.

"A Better Boot, A Better Price"

Dare to compare

You be the judge. We enthusiastically encourage price comparisons. Any
true apples-to-apples price comparison will show that RUJO is easily $40
under other internet based boot sellers (and more than half traditional
retail).
