A huge advantage of wearing a Western boot that has shrunken leather is that the grain of the material has been intensified and enriched. It allows the distressed-looking brown leather on this 10" Lady Rebel by Durango to look even better. Another bold feature on the upper is the embroidery that has been sewn onto the boot's shaft and foot; it draws in your eye and makes this square-toe boot look exceedingly fashionable. A dipped topline and durable pull tabs allow you easy access into this footwear. Once you lower your foot down into this Lady Rebel boot, you will feel how comfortable the cushioned footbed feels as you are walking. A tempered steel shank has been integrated into this women's boot; this feature allows you to have steady footing and will help support your foot's arch. The rocker heel is low, only 1 ¼", which makes it extremely comfortable to walk in these Western boots all-day long. The rubber outsole has been given pizzazz with its translucent barbed wire graphic. Bearing your heart on these Lady Rebel by Durango Let Love Fly Western Boots is much more chic than wearing it on your sleeve.
