Houston

The Houston boot is a lower heel black Roper and comes with a zipper for added ease getting into the boot.
We are master bootmakers and have meticulously designed every aspect of this boot. Luxurious black premium calf graces the exterior while prime leathers are used to construct all other aspects of this boot.

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 Roper Toe
Uppers are tonal stitched and 11" high
Heel is leather stacked 1 1/4” high
Hand-Pegged Lemonwood to keep shank, 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 3-6 weeks to complete this.

These boots are dedicated to General Sam Houston. He needs no introduction. He was bigger than life and held together the Texian Army as they defeated Santa Anna. This allowed Texas to become an Independent Nation.

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.

Best boots i ever bought. Very comfortable and the side zipper is a plus.

Love the Roper!

These are my every-day-boots. They are perfect and very well made. Very happy with my purchase!

Wow!

I’ve bought a number of Ropers over the years because I like the lower heel. Your boots are absolutely awesome and I love the feel of them. They’re made like a cowboy boot, but still have that Roper feel. The zipper is a great help sometimes when I need to get them off easy. Thanks!

Thank God!

I was really wanting one of y’all’s boots, but I needed a zipper. Thank God for this Boot. It’s extremely comfortable and well-made!
