Our NEW Roper Boot No.10 is handmade in Texas by Rios Of Mercedes. They are one of only a few boot makers that still produces boots using "Channelled Insole Goodyear Welt Construction", an artisanal construction process that extends the longevity, improves comfort and allows you to recraft the boot for generations. The Roper No.10 is an exclusive design built on the classic “Roper” boot, a crossover between a “Western” and a “Dress" boot. Made with a shorter shaft, a cleaner silhouette and a lower heel, the Roper offers supreme comfort and classic styling.  The shorter 10" shaft and traditional last, creates a fit that is looser through the heel to allow for comfort and flexibility. Each boot is hand-lasted and reinforced with a steel shank and that is secured with wooden pegs. The fully stacked leather heels (1' tall) are finished with a rubber heel tap for longevity. They are leather lined, built without any insole fillers and finished with a premium, lightweight & durable Vibram® brand sole. 

HORWEEN® WAXED-FLESH HORSEHIDE (CHICAGO Brown)
This version is made entirely from a unique and very exclusive Horween® Chromexcel® Horsehide in their "waxed-flesh" finish. Much like a rough-out leather, Horween® takes the flesh side but then applies waxes and oils to seal the flesh just a bit. Over time the waxes will break down and the leather will develop a unique worn patina. At 3-4oz., the hides are lighter weight than our steerhide and bison leather but durable and resilient like horsehide is known to be. 
Another distinct feature of this leather is the grain side, which is a lighter contrasting shade and with a sleek and rich finish. The 2025 version is made with the grain side out in the upper shaft and the waxed-flesh side used in the vamp of the boot.

The Roper No.10 Fit
This is a traditional fitting boot in a D width without an insert. If you are used to a snug fitting cowboy boot, order at your boot size. In most cases we recommend ordering at your typical boot size. If you have ordered our No.92 Rios Vintage Boot, for sure order up ½ size from that boot. 
Narrow & Wide Widths (B & EE)
We do offer both a "B" (Narrow) or "EE" (Wide) in our Roper Boot No.10.  When placing your order for a custom width, select the option from the menu and we will contact you after the order is placed to confirm the size.  
Please note, this would be be a non-returnable size, so please confirm your boot sizing first or call for more assistance.
