The Tres Outlaws Boot Company

Master bootmakers

In 1995, my partner Jerry Black and I started The Tres Outlaws Boot Company in El Paso, Texas, which houses the only master bootmakers in the world. There, we create only the finest completely handmade boots.

This has enabled me to bring the boots to the next level of western boot art. 

In search of inspiration and looking for the extraordinary you must take a look at our gallery of custom boots.

The process:

  • Prior to starting any boot or belt, each piece of skin or hide is thoroughly inspected for quality and durability.
  • Cutting the leather by hand insures uniformity and a matched pair of boots.
  • All of our stitching is done by hand. Our highly skilled stichers are among a select few left in the industry.
  • Assembly of the uppers is a crucial step, that if done properly, assures that the boots wll be lasted correctly.
  • The lasting of the boots gives you the ultimate fit. Once you experience a hand lasted boot, you'll never settle for less.
  • The final stitches on our welting are reinforced by our master bootmaker, insuring that the sole will have the proper contour.
  • Our "X" toes are done with vegtable tanned leather, not plastic, and are trimmed and formed by the most experienced lasters.
  • Our inlay work is done entirely by hand. This process is rapidly becoming a lost art. Today, very few bootmakers have the capability of this kind of work.
  • A steel shank is utilized to give support in the arch. This makes the boot unique to any other type of footwear.
  • Rows of lemon tree wooden pegs (not nails) are hand set, reinforcing the shank area. 
  • The heels are positioned in the proper pitch and nailed into place - one at a time.
  • Finishing and dressing of the boots is handled with the utmost of care.
  • Before receiving your boots or belts, they are carefully inspected to guarantee you only the finest quality.
