These incredible boots are made of caiman belly with the tops stitched in a Lone Star Eagle pattern. 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.

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 3-4 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.

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.
