Cap'n Jack Hays (Can Be Customized)

This boot is clean, letting the quality stand on its own. Luxurious black premium calf graces the exterior while prime leathers are used to construct all other aspects of this boot.

We have the option to add a Tactical Patch that is sewn on to a removable velcro base. Just describe the type of patch in the notes ($95 adder). We will get with you to confirm the details. You can also send your patch for us to sew on.

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 clean 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 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 most famous Texas Ranger John ‘Jack’ Coffee Hays.

Jack migrated to the newly formed Republic of Texas in 1836. Sam Houston appointed Jack to the Texas Rangers and, as they say, the rest is history.

All-Texas, super violent, 100% bad ass history.

Jack worked his way up the ranks of the Rangers, quickly made Captain, and proved himself a fearless and a born fighter. He and his men were assigned to the wilds of Texas in order to keep the newly formed country safe from Native American raiding parties, cattle rustlers, horse thieves, Mexican Army patrols, and all-around bad people. Jack and his men did this by pretty much killing all of the aforementioned whenever they were encountered. Jack was famous for charging the enemy (a skill he adopted from the same Indians he was fighting against) and did such in famous skirmishes as Plum Creek, Cañon de Ugalde, Bandera Pass, Painted Rock, and Salado.

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.

Excellent Boots

I’ve been wearing these boots for several weeks. The fit and quality are exceptional.

Great Boots

They fit unbelievably well. I can wear them at the office, and give this great Texas touch. Thanks to all the team for a great experience while shopping.

A very fine boot!

I really like these boots! Beautiful, clean, elegant design and their luxury derives from the quality of the leather, meticulous stitching, and careful construction…without a shred of being ostentatious. These are among my favorites now, and can be worn to work or any celebration. The fit and sizing is spot on. They are going to the top shelf of my daily drivers.

Clean!

Its impossible to find a good clean pair of boot anymore. Really love these boot!

Badass is the word

Got these puppies with my dixie flag patches on 'em. Absolute badass. These are my 5th or 6th pair of Republic boots. They fit just perfect and I own many boots with many brands, but I keep coming back to Republic because they fit me right. It's very hard to find true single wide E width cowboy boots. They're either standard D or double wide EE. But Republic has it right and the looks as well. Will be a long time repeat customer.
