Black Smooth Ostrich – Elegant Texas Perfection

Ostrich is one of the most versatile leathers we work with — exceptionally soft, yet as strong as alligator. This boot pairs sleek black smooth ostrich with a full quill toe, creating a beautiful contrast in texture and a timeless, sophisticated look.

Crafted from all premium leather with no synthetic materials, these boots are built to last and become even more comfortable with every wear. Made in the same meticulous style as our legendary custom boots, they deliver unmatched quality, durability, and classic Western elegance.

Rounded Point Toe
Uppers are Dragon Corded and 8” high
Heel is leather stacked 1 ¾”
Soles are hand pegged with lemonwood, reinforced with brass clinch nails
Reinforced pulls
Lux-calf interior for glove-like comfort
Full leather insole (for breathability and custom shaping to your foot)

Our Full Leather Insoles allow the Width to be Modifiable! They are built on a D base and have a full leather insole that (when inserted) makes the boot a B width (normal). So, simply remove this leather insert for D (wide) width, or keep it inserted for B (normal) width. They will conform comfortably to your feet either way.

WHY REPUBLIC BOOT CO?

There is a huge difference in our handmade boots compared to a mass produced boot you may find on the shelf at a store. We stake our reputation on the quality of our boots and are able to sell our boots direct to you without the mark-up of traditional retail. Don’t be confused by other online companies that are not master bootmakers.
We MAKE boots - We KNOW boots!

The Leather Construction – many factory boots use synthetic material that makes the initial feel more comfortable. This is similar to putting on a sneaker. That material acts like an initial cushion but the unknown factor is that it does not breathe or let toxins out. Like a sneaker it gets nasty over a short amount of time and it will degrade. We routinely resole boots 10-30 years old that have all leather natural soles, but that would not be possible with a factory boot that has synthetic material (it’s pretty disgusting). Like a good baseball glove, a full leather boot will conform to your foot and become extremely comfortable over time – don’t compromise. Your Republic Boots will be incredible the longer you wear them. Read our reviews.

The Material – We hand-pick our hides from the best tanneries and only allow the best quality. Competitors that mass produce boots source in bulk and these commercial dealers provide the cheapest material. Much of this material loses integrity and may crack or tear, minimizing the life of the boot. There is a huge difference in leather quality – only settle for the best. The soles of many factory boots are made of composite (pressed leather and cardboard particles) – of course this will not last long. We only use the finest sole leather that provides the durability that you expect.

The Craftsmanship – All of our customs boots are 100% handmade in our Houston, TX bootshop. In the 1836 Collection (stock line of boots) our team in our North American shops (Houston & Leon) handcraft them with a standardized design and we cut out the middle-man to lower our price to you. In our custom boots we hand shape our toe boxes, hand stitch the tops, hand last the fit, and pour many more hours in finalizing the perfect boot. We do it the old-school way, because it’s the right way.

We guarantee our craftsmanship for life.
