The interior of these leather boots has an incredibly soft yet wonderfully durable mesh lining. Having such a comforting material inside of these tall boots (12") is of great consequence; it shelters the interior against wear and prevents the footwear from chafing your legs. Underneath your feet, you'll find that the cushioned insole feels delightful and helps to alleviate the weight that you press down onto your feet. A tempered steel shank is another incredibly beneficial feature to have within this women's cowboy boot; it makes it easy to walk steadily and provides arch support that feels so good, your feet will remain comfortable all-day long. While, the rubber outsole is durable and quite comfortable to stand on, you'll love how nice its black surface looks. The grey, with underlying shades of black, 2 ¼" fashion heel allows your legs to look longer and makes your figure look rather flattering. If you are looking for women's footwear that has a unique, whimsical design, is equipped with features that will support and comfort your feet, as well as having a nice-sized high heel... this women's Crush™ by Durango® Western boot is absolutely perfect for you!
