Rios’s signature “spring toe” is not a finished shape from the outset; it develops through walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSundance Gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eQuiet and reserved. But draw the gun, and the situation changes in an instant.\u003cbr\u003eThis pair was made with the legendary gunslinger Sundance Kid in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe color is SUNDANCE GOLD, somewhere between camel and mustard.\u003cbr\u003eRoughout suede and smooth leather are combined, layering different textures within the same color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe suede softly absorbs light, while the smooth leather reflects it with a muted sheen.\u003cbr\u003eTheir appearance shifts with every step, creating a contrast reminiscent of the intense western sun and the shadows it casts below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe toe is finished in the ROPER style, retaining the character of a western boot while remaining easy to wear every day.\u003cbr\u003ePaired with a stable heel, it achieves a balanced shape that feels natural even when walking for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe stitching is “LUNA,” inspired by the moon.\u003cbr\u003eDouble stitching in GOLD thread runs across the upper, adding another layer of tonal depth to the SUNDANCE GOLD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sole is leather.\u003cbr\u003eTraditional lemonwood pegs are used, while the bottom is intentionally left less refined than a half-crow finish, retaining the rugged character of the ROPER.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePerforations are added to the tongue, though they may not be included depending on the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bright GOLD of the new boots will gradually deepen as they acquire marks and creases.\u003cbr\u003eThe suede’s nap will become tousled, the smooth leather will develop more shine, and the spring toe will grow increasingly pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRather than making the new boots the finished form, the time spent wearing them becomes their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSundance Gold, made for walking through Tokyo rather than the wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e※ Boots made in the American workshop may vary slightly from pair to pair. Please enjoy the natural marks and variations in tone characteristic of genuine leather, as well as the differences in appearance created by handwork, as part of these boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have written a BLOG about Rios of Mercedes.
