Rios of Mercedes is a custom boot manufacturer founded in 1853.

We have a factory in Mercedes, Texas, and manufacture the highest quality boots by continuing to follow traditional manufacturing methods.

Roper Boots made from the same leather used in Wicket & Craig's horse tack. This leather is made from vegetable-tanned cowhide leather with added oils and fats. At first, it is hard and feels hard to put your feet on, but as it warms up with the temperature of human skin and you wear it, you will get used to it, so you can fully appreciate the aging of the leather.

The sole uses a special thick leather sole. You can see the wooden nails called "pegs" lined up on the arch of the foot, which is a privilege only available with leather soles. Pegs to fasten the insole and outsole. Most places now use iron nails, but the highest quality men's shoes and Rios still use wood pegs. It's romantic.

Rios boots do not contain cork; instead, they contain cloth. Therefore, it has good bounce, and combined with the softness of the sole, it is also attractive that it is very easy to walk on.

We also have models finished with crepe soles with different soles, so why not choose the one you like?

The good thing about Rios is the way the toes curve up. Even when it's new, it's a little warped, but the more you wear it, the more your toes will rise. It's cool, and above all, Rios' unique spring toe makes these boots easy to wear, comparable to sneakers, and easy to match, so you'll end up wearing them more often.

You'll understand if you wear it, and you won't know unless you wear it.

Compared to Roper Boots, they may look too tight when worn, so we recommend sizing up by half to one size.
