Colt

The Colt is Black Full Quill Ostrich with a Gunmetal Top. This unique top is made from a special type of leather we have made called gunmetal (the sheen is iridescent and shimmers from Grey to Dark Blue) - It can change color, depending on the angle, much like the barrel of a Colt Revolver. Ostrich is one of the most versatile hides that we utilize. It is extremely soft, but as strong as alligator.

We use no synthetic material and every part of it is handmade (which is why this boot will last a lifetime). These details are important.

Classic Round Toe
Uppers are 12" high
Heel is leather stacked 1 1/2” - The heel and sole are blacked out (video shows old style with brown)
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 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.

*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 The Walker Colt Pistol. The old saying goes like this: God created men equal. Colonel Colt made them equal!

Samuel Colt accepted an order for 1,000 revolvers from Captain Samuel Walker of the Texas Rangers. Walker said It needed to hold six bullets, be simple to reload and “be powerful enough to kill a man with a single shot".

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.

My boot buying experience

I was impressed by Haley’s expertise in answering my questions about the boots at Republic. She was knowledgeable, and patient. I’ve already and will continue to tell others about the experience I had with my experience at Republic.

Boot Review

Great boots! Madison was very helpful in getting the correct fit. Thanks to everyone.

No Regrets

Love the boots. Materials and craftsmanship are great. These are not my most expensive pair of boots but I would say that they definitely look like they are. No regrets on these. Boots were shipped very quickly and I would not hesitate to order another pair of boots from Republic.

Cool Store

I loved the experience at Republic Boot Co. Have been wanting to visit for a while now, since I purchased a pair of boots from their online store. While I was there, I enjoyed looking at all the merchandise, leathers, stock boots etc. I met Mr. Gonzales, the hat maker. I got fitted and ordered a new cowboy lid, a Father's Day gift from my wife! I will be back to get fitted for a custom pair of boots as well.

Best Boots Ever - Great Service!!

Can’t say enough about the service from the minute I walked until I walked out! I purchased 2 pair of boots and matching belts. There may have been some tequila while making the purchases. I have worn both pair of boots several times over the past few weeks. Each time they fit better! The whole team was great and could not have been more accommodating! If you're going to Houston you need get boots from Republic Boot Co!!!
