Moreletii Crocodile – Tonal Texas Star Edition

Crafted from our own premium Moreletii crocodile, these boots feature a beautiful tonal Texas star for a subtle yet unmistakable nod to Lone Star heritage.

The sleek, blacked-out color scheme offers unmatched versatility — sharp enough for a tailored suit, yet rugged enough for everyday adventures. Every detail is 100% handmade using no synthetic materials, ensuring uncompromising quality, comfort, and durability.

Built to last a lifetime, these boots are more than footwear — they’re a bold statement of style and craftsmanship.

1.5” Square Cutter Toe
Uppers have Lone Star caiman inlay 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) - It's free to exchange if something is off!

Our Full Leather Insoles allow the Width to be Modifiable! They are built on an 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.

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.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars: A Masterpiece in Crocodile & Leather

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the craftsmen of Republic Boot Company for creating one of the finest pairs of boots I have ever owned. As someone who has worn custom and high-end footwear for many years, I can say without hesitation that these boots stand in a league of their own.

From the moment I slipped them on, I knew these were exceptional. The fit was precise, the comfort immediate, and the craftsmanship impeccable. The Crocodile hide is of the highest grade, and the leather carries the feel of a heritage piece, something that will only deepen in character and beauty with age. It is rare to find boots that combine artistry, durability, and comfort at this level.

Thank you for reviving the kind of American craftsmanship that honors tradition, celebrates excellence, and reminds us that quality is still worth pursuing. You have gained a lifelong customer, and I will be recommending Republic Boot Company to everyone who appreciates the marriage of style and substance.

With appreciation and highest regards,
