Why An Orthopedic Surgeon Swears By Durango® Boots
Spotlight  •    5 MIN

Dr. Carson Rider isn't just any boot-wearer — he's a Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Surgeon at the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, TN, who understands foot biomechanics better than most. Spending many hours per day standing in the office and operating room means he needs footwear that provides purposeful support, durability, and comfort.

After trying countless boot brands and designs, his verdict is clear: The Durango Maverick Pro and Rebel Pro stand out from the rest.

"My name is Carson Rider, and I'm a foot and ankle Orthopedic Surgeon in Memphis, TN. I wear boots in the office and the operating room every day. I have tried almost every brand/design on the market. I alternate between the Durango Maverick Pro and the Rebel Pro and I absolutely love both of them." — Dr. Carson Rider

  • Heel Tuck (Rearfoot Support) — The Heel Tuck design cradles the rearfoot, offering superior support and minimizing excess foot movement inside the boot.

  • Soft Mesh Lining — Ensures breathability and all-day comfort.

What Makes Durango Boots Different?

In western bootmaking, a Heel Tuck (also known as a heel wedge or heel insert) is a specialized feature that consists of a thin, rigid fiberboard attached to the back portion of the boot's innersole, extending from the heel to just behind the ball of the foot. This component provides added support and comfort by stabilizing the foot and minimizing the risk of twisting or shifting, which can lead to discomfort. It is especially beneficial for individuals with conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or issues with pronation and supination. The Heel Tuck helps guide the foot into a more neutral position, improving overall alignment. By offering targeted support to the heel and reducing pressure, it makes a significant difference for those who spend long hours on their feet.

The Perfect Alternative to Sneakers for Work

Orthopedic professionals often recommend supportive sneakers to reduce foot fatigue, but for those who prefer boots, Durango offers an excellent alternative.

"I treat tons of patients who wear boots every day on the farm and at work. I'll definitely be recommending Durango to patients who aren't keen on wearing supportive sneakers. I've loved my Durango boots and want my patients to experience the same." — Dr. Carson Rider
