What Shoppers Should Know

Ropers are a style of cowboy boots with a shorter shaft and a comfort-forward design, focusing less on riding capabilities and more on versatility. This particular pair is made of roughout cowhide, with a Total Energy Command (TEC) insole and a removable cushioned footbed inside. The Goodyear welt construction and natural water-resistance make these boots certifiably durable, and the self-cleaning MuckOFF Tread on the outsole is oil and slip-resistant for even more protection. As for the measurements, the boots have a 10-inch shaft with a 1 ¼-inch straight heel.
The care instructions aren’t super complicated, but they’re essential to follow if you want your boots to last a long time. First, always store them in a cool (and dry) space and let them fully dry before wearing them again. After each wear, brush the dirt off with a horsehair brush and use a damp cloth (or suede eraser) to remove stains. Never condition or polish them.

What Shoppers are Saying
If your job allows it, these boots are incredibly durable and reliable work companions, no matter the field. One reviewer who’s “been in construction for 40 years” said, “Out of the box, these are one of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn.” Another owner (who’s on their ninth pair of Tecovas boots) also said that these are “great boots for work.” Compared to other work boots, these are a lot more comfortable, with one shopper saying they “feel better than both pairs of my Ariat boots.”
Boots can sometimes require a break-in period for those who aren’t as familiar with them. Luckily, the reviews on Tecovas’ site confirm that the Rugged Ropers are pretty much ready to go right out of the box and, according to one reviewer, are “very well built and very comfortable.”
Getting your hands on a pair of high-quality leather boots is usually expensive, which is why the Tecovas Rugged Roper Boots are a great deal for $151. Keep in mind that it’s last call for this model of the Rugged Ropers, so you should grab a pair before they’re possibly gone forever.
