Four years in the works, our NEW Vintage Rios Boot No.92  is now available. Built from premium vegetable-tanned Horween® leather and made exclusively for us by Rios Of Mercedes, in Texas. Rios has been hand-making boots since 1853 in Mercedes, TX with traditional, American bootmaking craftsmanship. We are honored and proud to have them making our first heritage "work style" boot. 

We use our Horween® veg-tanned Dublin leather, the same leather used in all of our stone-washed products. The Rios boot is hand-lasted with "Channelled Insole Goodyear Welt Construction". A traditional and time-intensive method of attaching the sole to the upper that allows you to replace the sole as many times as needed. Rios is one of a few makers that still constructs a boot with in this traditional and authentic way. Made with a premium Vibram rubber outsole, a stacked leather heel and a combination of tonal and contrasting single and double-stitched seems. 

The fit of the boot is slightly generous with a comfortable last engineered for everyday use and a roomy toe box. Typically order ½ size smaller than your average shoe or western boot size. 

The Rios boot is stone-washed after construction in Los Angeles, CA, in the same proprietary and tested process that we have been doing in our luggage for almost 10-years. With the Rios boot, we use less water than our bags, they are dried in the California sun and over the next 2-3 days we oil and condition them by hand, one-by-one. A process that cannot be done fast, only right. During these days, the leather softens, the edges darken and the flaps roll over to create a distinctly unique and incredibly authentic product while advancing the "break-in" for the boot. The entire process, starting from leathers we use, starts and ends in the USA. The leather is tanned in Chicago, the boots are built in Texas and stone-washed in Los Angeles. A unique process that we pioneered and perfected over the last 10-years.
