Bad Ass

"The Darin is perfect! The scales on this fish aren’t flakey, and they are smaller. The color is great! Fit and comfort is perfect!"

Happy but confused

"Let me start by expressing how happy I am to have received these boots today and that the fit worked out where I didn’t have to mail them back for a different size. The quality is amazing and the color is everything I wanted. That being said. I’m confused by the smoothed out and more reddish appearance of the ones pictured. I wasn’t completely crazy about that look because I was more drawn to the boots that looked more rough and with loose scale edges (which these have) I feel it gives them a more relaxed and worn look over the dress boot look the advertised ones have. I mean when it comes down to color and texture, my boots are as different as night and day. But they happen to be the look I wanted especially with the 7 toe over other makers who only offer wide toes in them or charge twice as much. Thanks Rujo. This is my second pair from you all. I’m looking forward to my third."

Fine Boot making at its best!

"These boots look fantastic, fit great out of the box & look better in person. The color is rich and scales are just the right size!! One of the best boots I’ve gotten!!!"

Rashad W. (5/5)

Amazing boots!

"The scales of this skin feel so durable and supple at the same time. Stretchy yet so comfortable. Amazing pair of boots. I wore them all day with no complications whatsoever."

The Darin

"I was skeptical about these boots, but took a chance. I’m glad I did! The look far exceeded my expectations. I’d encourage anyone to get a pair."

Oscar V. (5/5)

"Run small . But beautiful boots well made . My only complaint is i got them on sale and they do not refund for sale items. They give you store credit only but take very long to get the store credit and get a different pair of boots . So if they dont fit you will be waiting a long time before you can get a second pair , very inconvenient."

EAG (4/5)

Great boots and great company.

"I recently purchased the Darin because I wanted an exotic in my collection, and the price was right. The picture online doesn’t do the boots justice. The look is unique, distinct, and will you get compliments for all the right reasons. More importantly, they are comfortable right out of the box - and I couldn’t find a flaw ( finish excellent, heels on right/even, color consistent throughout, no loose threads, excellent craftsmanship). I had actually ordered two pairs of boots and there was a mix up that resulted in a delay on the shipping. I made a phone call and the next day, the issue was resolved (had boots the day after). The story team was responsive and genuinely wanted to help. Great company and I will be doing business with RUJO boots again. I would encourage my friends and associates to do the same."

Keith (5/5)

The pics don’t do these justice!

"Very comfortable, perfect fit, well made, and fast shipping!"

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.

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.
