![]() We do it the old-school way, because it’s the right way.Rancher Charlie Beatty, 57, on right, shares yarns of ghost horses with friend Bill Spears, 72, at the Devil’s Backbone Tavern. 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. In the 1836 Collection (stock line of boots) our team in Leon, MX handcrafts with a standardized design and we cut out the middle-man to lower our price to you. The Craftsmanship – All of our customs boots are 100% handmade in Houston, TX. We only use the finest sole leather that provides the durability that you expect. The soles of many factory boots are made of composite (pressed leather and cardboard particles) – of course this will not last long. There is a huge difference in leather quality – only settle for the best. Much of this material loses integrity and may crack or tear, minimizing the life of the boot. ![]() Competitors that mass produce boots source in bulk and these commercial dealers provide the cheapest material. The Material – We hand-pick our hides from the best tanneries and only allow the best quality. Your Republic Boots will be incredible the longer you wear them. Like a good baseball glove, a full leather boot will conform to your foot and become extremely comfortable over time – don’t compromise. 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 sneaker it gets nasty over a short amount of time and it will degrade. That material acts like an initial cushion but the unknown factor is that it does not breathe or let toxins out. The Leather Construction – many factory boots use synthetic material that makes the initial feel more comfortable. Don’t be confused by other online companies that are not master bootmakers. 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. There is a huge difference in our handmade boots compared to a mass produced boot you may find on the shelf at a store. For spirits of another kind go see our friends at the Devils Backbone Tavern. Its an absolutely beautiful drive, but be careful because there are many reports of spirits that roam the area. These boots are dedicated to the scenic Devil's Backbone drive in the Texas Hill Country. We can customize your boots with Initials on the pull straps for an additional cost: Add 2 or 3 initials to your pull straps to make your boots uniquely custom. For any reason if the fit is not perfect we pay to ship it back and send you another size. Width is D (normal) and the sizing is the industry standard (same as your shoes). Uppers have Lone Star ostrich inlay and 12" high. Full leather insole (for breathability and custom shaping to your foot). Lux-calf interior for glove-like comfort. We use no synthetic material and every part of it is handmade (which is why this boot will last a lifetime). With Nicotine ostrich and black uppers, it is absolutely one of the most beautiful boots you can buy. It is extremely soft, but as strong as alligator. Ostrich is one of the most versatile hides that we utilize.
