Men's Main House Roper Boot

Two South Texas legacies, one iconic boot. Handcrafted in collaboration with Rios of Mercedes—a family-founded bootmaker with over 170 years of experience—this classic roper style is a true bootmaker’s work boot. Made from American-raised and tanned steer hide, every pair is hand-lasted, hand-stitched, and hand-finished for a fit and feel that molds to you with every wear. A medium round PR toe and stacked leather heel offer timeless Western appeal, while the removable cushioned insole brings modern comfort. 

Founded in 1853, each pair is still crafted in their original workshop in Mercedes, Texas. More than handmade, these boots are made by masters. Hand-cut leather is stitched on vintage Singer machines, toe boxes are sculpted and sanded by hand, and hides are lasted and pegged with the precision of generations. It’s not just the process that makes them exceptional—it’s whose hands are making them. With all-leather construction and a fit that molds to the foot, Rios boots feel like gloves—snug yet supple, never slipping or sliding. It’s this dedication to detail that made them the ideal collaborator with King Ranch: two institutions shaped by the land, committed to their craft, and steeped in the stories of the American West.
