Description
Named for the Saltillo region of King Ranchwhere the brush runs thick and the rattlesnakes thrivebecause we dont take chances in the field and neither should you. Handmade in Texas by the master bootmakers at Rios of Mercedes, every pair is certified strike-resistant against venomous Western Diamond Rattlesnake bites with zero fang penetration. It pairs heavyweight American bison leather with full grain steer hide shafts and a strike-resistant barrier of 1000-denier Cordura, lined with soft, American-tanned cowhide. An 18 shaft guards to the knee, while a heavy-duty brass YKK zipper ensures a secure fit. Underfoot, a Vibram V Crepe outsole delivers lightweight shock absorption, grip, and long-wearing comfort. Its finished with a removable cushioned insole, covered in full grain leather and custom-stamped with the Running W.
Founded in 1853, and still crafting every pair in their original Mercedes, Texas workshop, Rios of Mercedes is a name synonymous with legacy. These boots arent just handmadetheyre 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 passed down for generations. Its not just the process that makes them exceptionalits whose hands are making them. With a fit that molds to the foot, Rios boots feel like glovessnug yet supple, never slipping or sliding. That same devotion to quality made them the perfect collaborator for King Ranch: two institutions shaped by the land and grounded in the grit of the American West.
