Is the Savannah a true western boot or a fashion boot?

It is a true western boot. It has a Goodyear welt, a leather outsole and a leather-lined shaft, which are bootmaker construction rather than glued fashion-boot build.

How does the leather outsole hold up?

Leather outsoles wear well on dry ground and can be replaced thanks to the Goodyear welt. They are slippery on wet pavement and smooth indoor floors until scuffed.

What heel and shaft does it have?

The heel is about 2 inches, a walking-friendly western height. The shaft is about 11.8 inches tall with roughly a 13.4-inch circumference, a mid-calf fit.

How does it fit compared with other western boots?

It runs like a standard western boot: snug through the instep with a little heel slip when new. Try your usual boot size first.

Can the sole be repaired?

Yes. The Goodyear welt lets a cobbler stitch on a new outsole instead of discarding the boot.

One pair of Savannah boots. No boot trees or extra laces are included.

Our take on the Rio Grande Women's Savannah Black Cowgirl Boots

The Rio Grande Savannah is a women's western boot in premium cowhide with a round toe, an 11.8-inch shaft and a 2-inch heel. It is built with a Goodyear welt and a leather outsole etched with a rose, and it is made in Mexico. That construction puts it above glued, synthetic-soled fashion boots and closer to traditional bootmaker quality. It suits riders and western wear fans who want a classic black boot that can be resoled rather than replaced.
