Erastus
These incredible boots are made of moreletii croc belly with lone star eagle stitching. These classic colors can be worn with a suit or just as easy with your everyday adventures.
We use no synthetic materials, and every aspect is handmade (which is why this boot will last a lifetime). These details are important.
- Classic Round Toe
- Uppers have Lone Star Eagle stitching and 12" high
- Heel is leather stacked 1 1/2”
- 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 stock boots are 'true to size' in order to conform perfectly with your foot, but this makes them more of a custom feel (slightly tighter). Other companies tend to oversize their boots, so if you want a comparable fit then go up a half size (if a 10 in other stock boots, order a 10.5) - Its free to exchange if something is off!
Our Full Leather Insoles allow the Width to be Modifiable! They are built on a EE base and have a full leather insole that (when inserted) makes the boot a D width (normal). So, simply remove this leather insert for EE (wide) width, or keep it inserted for D (normal) width. They will conform comfortably to your feet either way.
*UPDATE November 26, 2024: DUE to the high demand - we are not taking any more initials at this time.
Add up to 3 initials on the pulls (black, brown, or bone) to customize the boots. Put the initials in the Order Notes. We handmake these (inlay into the pulls) and it takes us 3-6 weeks to complete this.

These boots are dedicated to Erastus 'Deaf' Smith. He was the most famous scout during the Texas War for Independence. His bravery was unmatched and inspired many to keep up the fight and his knowledge of the lands was invaluable. While his hearing was impaired, his other senses were enhanced to spy on the enemy. He was General Sam Houston's most trusted scout and fought in many of the Revolution's battles. He then joined the Texas Rangers and fought many skirmishes, before retiring to San Antonio then Richmond TX where he passed in 1837.

I went into the store to get measured for a custom pair of boots. While there I tried on some of their handmade factory boots in Ostrich (The Texian) and Calf (The Crockett) Then I tried on the Erastus. What an amazing boot. Fit well right off the shelve. Sizes are true to what I wear. The craftsmanship is Amazing, the Caiman hide (belly) is perfectly placed and looks amazing. 100% leather including the heel and insole. These are handmade in Mexico and the quality is fantastic. I can't wait to see my custom lizard boots made right there in there shop in Houston. It took a week and a half to break-in but after about a month these things are getting really comfortable. Every thing I saw in their store was of the best quality. Lots to look at. The entire staff is really easy going. It was like seeing old friends. Jake helped me with both, my custom and Erastus. Great experience! From the measurements, to picking the hide and colors to stitching and trim. I will post pictures when they are complete (Aug-2025ish)
Oh yea,
Your wife called and said its okay to order a pair!
These caiman boots, Erastus, are good looking, great fit, very comfortable and materials are high quality. Adam did a great job helping me to try different models and sizes. I 100% recommend the boots which by the way, I would recommend to order 1/2 size larger. If you have a chance, visit the Houston downtown store, they have a good product selection, tons of accessories and great service. Thanks
If you are looking for quality boots this is the place to go.
The boots are the best. Love the way they look and feel. The customer service is second to none ! We will be back. David E.
Love my new boots! I was worried that the boots would be too tight or too loose. Caine was patient and walked me through the process. Thank you!
