This classic Western-style boot sports waterproof full-grain leather and stylish looks that serve both around-town and outdoor work functions. The composite safety toe option offers added foot protection for more serious on-the-job applications.

After wearing the pull-on Rancher Pros mostly in non-work settings this spring, they are decidedly more comfortable than the pointy-toed cowboy boots of my childhood, and the slip-resistant outsole kept me on my feet tromping through puddles, mud and slush.
