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.

Good looking shirt. If you're looking to compare to poncho they run a little bit smaller than poncho. But other than that good stuff

A very unique place I bought some boots got home and found something wrong with one boot brought it back and they fixed it. If you have time to wait for a pair they also do custom boots. This is one place that stands behind their boots they sell. I highly recommend this place also they did a great job putting new heal caps on my boots

Carless Elliott

Ordered a custom made pair of boots, my salesman, Jake was great, he listened to me and made great suggestions and recommendations. Can’t wait for my boots to be made.

Mike Hruby

Was gifted a pair of the handmade Austin Snake Proof Boots. While there we also purchased one of the oil tanned premium leather journals. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly!! Once home and browsing the website, I recently ordered a bundle of boot care products that were shipped and received in a two day time period. A boot bag, boot jack, leather cream and a pair of cedar boot trees. Will be ordering a pair of custom boots soon!!! Thank you Republic!!

Alex Parker

Stopped by the other day just to pick up a couple of Devil Dog Jeans and then Madison saw us. Welllll I have one pair of 1836 now I have 2. If you're ordering boots from this place you will never get the experience of this small shop. I would recommend going there. They are the absolute best shop you will ever experience. Now thinking about a belt and see if they can make me a custom badge carrier for work.

Rob Lobello

Jake was fantastic. Patient service, unbelievably cool boots, and fantastic whiskey! Bringing my son back for a pair! Update March 21, 2025 Picked up my boots yesterday and came out so much better than I expected! Store and staff all warm and inviting. Live music, fantastic drinks, friendly conversation. Boots fit perfect, color exactly what I hoped for. Could not be happier!

Great boots, outstanding customer service. Requested exchange due to sizing and the replacement pair was in the mail with a return slip before I'd even packed up the first ones. Laura was extremely responsive to questions. Will be back for more

I had an awesome experience at RBC. Johnny was my salesman and he was knowledgeable and entertaining. I will definitely be back.

Josh Cartwright

Went in 30 minutes before close, but Adam Ray took amazing care of us. Picked up a pair of the Gonzales Gator. I love them so far. We'll definitely be back.

Raul Wong

The service and quality of their products is above expectations! We love being able to support our local boot factory in the Heights. Have purchased 2 pair of custom boots, belts and other leather items. only wish I lived closer

Stacy Schwartz

The experience we had at Republic Boot Co. was truly remarkable, thanks to the talented crew. From the moment we entered, we were given a warm reception and treated like old friends. I have been holding onto a gator skin I harvested 10 years ago and decided it was time to get my dream boots made. Johnny was the man to help put the plan in motion and helped design my “one of a kind” boots that I CANNOT wait to see! We were lucky enough to partake in the live music and a few cold ones too. You really need to stop and meet the crew at Republic Boot Company if you’re ever in Houston! We made the trip from ND (on our anniversary) and it was beyond an epic experience.

It took me a while to afford a true luxury boot made in and by the people of The Great State of Texas a truly defined manor of Quality!!!!!!!

Eponine G

Amazing experience! We loved building out our hats and then wearing them to the rodeo! 🤩🩷

M RS

Very cool experience picking out custom boots with them. The whole place has a positive vibe and employees that actually seem happy and proud of where they work. We were immediately greeted by two employees asking how they could help us. Haley was thorough and patient when walking me through the custom boot process. I went later In the day and the store actually closed before we were done with all the choices but we didn’t even realize it because nobody was rushing people out. They stayed until the last customer was handled. I can’t recommend this company enough. Huge thanks to Haley and the whole team. I can’t wait to see how the boots turn out!

Joey Hulsey

From the moment we walked in Adam Ray never left our sides. We had many questions about materials, and process. He never left us hanging. He walked us through it all with no hesitation!! Thanks we will be back

Andrew Hazou

I will preface that I have not yet bought anything here however I have been wanting to stop in here since I started traveling to Houston for work and I was able to stop in for a few minutes between engagements last week (first week or rodeo 2025). The shop is really cool and the staff was very helpful. I only had time to try on one pair of boots...I tried on the Crocketts in my normal size 13 with and without the insole, boots were a little to snug on the ball of my feet and my instep. Did not have time try on a bigger pair, but hopefully next time I am down there! The layout of the shop was really nice and lots of cool leather gear (coasters, journals and all sorts of stuff). Looking forward to actually getting something from them in the near future.

Justin Adams

Super easy to work with! Superior products and the boots are amazing. Will be ordering more soon.

Douglas Sykes

John Fischer

Jan Mikkelsen

Milam Boots

Excellent with Vibram protection

Best boots I’ve ever worn

These are the best boots I’ve ever worn. I’ve had many different pairs of boots over the years and none of them ever fit me as well as these do. These feel like they were custom made for me. I will never buy boots from another company ever again. And thank you everyone

The boots look great on TV

Bought a pair of The Milam boots from Republic Boot Company!
They are superb! Madison was a knowledgeable salesperson and very helpful!
The boots look great on Sunrise Saturday on WCBI TV
I want to do a Zoom interview about the boot making process for my show!

Worth it. Great service

I had a slight issue with my initial pair. They addressed the issue and made it fit. Great product. Better service.

Amazing

What can I say the 1836 collection of the Milam are simply the best and most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned . The attention to detail can't be compared, I can't wait until I am able to visit your store . Thank you and continued success
