Overview: the mid-calf western boot
The Viguera 8024 takes the classic western style and adapts it to everyday wear: a mid-height shaft, traditional embroidery, a fine toe and a Cuban heel. It is a boot you recognise instantly by its silhouette and that nonetheless goes easily with almost any wardrobe.
It is designed for the cold season and for mid-season weather. It is not a snow boot or a technical boot, but a fashion boot with character, hard-wearing and comfortable, for going to work, walking or going out.
Design and style: western with contrast embroidery
The design shows the classic motifs of Texan boots: a cut-out at the top of the shaft, a pull tab, contrast stitching that draws flowers and scrolls, and a fine toe with its own embroidery. The result is a boot with plenty of detail, but balanced.
Testa is a dark brown with a taupe tone, Tabac a warm tobacco brown, Black a classic that goes with everything and Serraje Marrón a mid-brown suede finish. The earth tones and the suede give a natural look that ages with elegance.
Materials and finish
The outer is natural leather, with a suede finish in several colours and smooth leather in others, a flexible material that adapts to the leg and foot with wear. Inside, the boot is lined in leather, pleasant against the skin and breathable.
The sole is leather with a broad-based Cuban heel, and the toe edge is stitched. The embroidery is sewn onto the leather itself and reinforces the shaft, and the pull tab at the top makes it easy to put on without deforming the heel counter.
Everyday comfort
The comfort of this boot rests on a broad, stable heel, a mid-height shaft that does not squeeze the calf and a flexible leather that moulds with wear. The Cuban heel spreads the weight better than a thin heel, which lets you walk for hours without fatigue.
With no fastening, the shaft adjusts to the leg by itself; if you have a wide calf, it is best to try the size with the sock you will wear. The leather sole gives an elegant step and the fine toe flatters the foot without pinching the toes.
Technology: Cuban heel and flexible shaft
The Cuban heel is the functional feature of the model: broad-based and of a comfortable height, between 5 and 6 cm depending on size, it gives stability when walking and stays comfortable through the whole day. It is the classic heel of western boots and the one that best balances style and comfort.
The flexible leather shaft, with its sewn embroidery, folds with movement without losing shape. The pull tabs at the top let you put the boot on comfortably, and the mid-height shaft makes it easy to combine with skirts and trousers.
Where and when to wear them
These are boots for everyday city life, work, weekends, travel and going out for lunch or dinner. With their style, they work especially well with casual and western-inspired looks.
They are not waterproof or snow boots. For heavy rain or very wet ground, footwear with a membrane is a better choice, and the suede versions ask for protection. For moderate cold and daily use in autumn and winter, they do the job comfortably.
How to style them
With straight or skinny jeans, worn inside or outside the shaft, the western style looks very natural. With a knitted or corduroy midi skirt and thick tights you get a polished autumn look. With a shirt dress or a knitted dress, the boot gives a counterpoint with character.
On top, suede or leather jackets, wool coats, denim jackets and chunky knitted jumpers all work. For a complete look, match the boot colour with a belt or a bag in the same shade.
What we think at Calzados Vesga
Our verdict is very positive: it is a well-proportioned western boot, with clean embroidery, a comfortable heel and good-looking leather. It delivers what it promises as a fashion boot without being uncomfortable, and the range of colours lets you choose to suit your wardrobe.
For anyone who wants a boot that lasts several seasons and goes with everything, Testa and Black are the most versatile choices, and Tabac adds a warmer touch.
Size guide
The model is offered in EU sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 39.5, 40, 41, 41.5, 42 and 43. The fit is regular, with a fine toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially if you have a wide foot or a wide calf, or wear thick socks.
As a rough UK guide, EU 36 is about UK 3.5, EU 38 about UK 5, EU 40 about UK 6.5 and EU 42 about UK 8.5, but conversions vary between brands, so check the brand size chart. To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to the longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room.
Care and maintenance
Suede and leather ask for simple care. Brush them gently to remove dust, and apply a specific protector spray before first wear and from time to time. On the smooth-leather versions, a colourless or matching cream keeps the leather flexible.
If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters. Do not machine-wash them or soak them. With this care, the colour and shape last for years.
Before you decide
They may not suit you if you want a waterproof boot, a tall boot or a lower heel for walking many hours. Nor are they the best choice for hot weather.
They will suit you perfectly if you want a comfortable, versatile mid-calf western boot with embroidery for daily use in autumn and winter. Compared with other western boots, they stand out for the stable Cuban heel, the careful embroidery and the choice of colours.
Frequently asked questions
Do these run small?
They fit true to size. Order your usual size and go up half a size if you have a wide foot or a wide calf.
Are they comfortable all day?
Yes. The Cuban heel is broad and stable, the shaft is mid-height and the leather is flexible, so they stay comfortable through a whole day.
Can I wear them in the rain?
They cope with light rain, but they are not waterproof. It is best to protect the suede versions with spray and avoid them in heavy rain.
How high is the heel?
The Cuban heel measures about 5 cm, with a broad base for stability.
How do I clean them?
With a soft brush; suede with a suede eraser and smooth leather with a lightly damp cloth. Never in a washing machine. Apply protector spray before first wear.
What size should I order if I have a wide calf?
Go up half a size from your usual number and try the boot with the sock you will wear, because it has no fastening.
Which colours are available?
Testa, Tabac, Black and Serraje Marrón. All have the same embroidery and the same last, in EU sizes 35 to 43.
