The Colt is Black Full Quill Ostrich with a Gunmetal Top. This unique top is made from a special type of leather we have made called gunmetal (the sheen is iridescent and shimmers from Grey to Dark Blue) - It can change color, depending on the angle, much like the barrel of a Colt Revolver. Ostrich is one of the most versatile hides that we utilize. It is extremely soft, but as strong as alligator.
We use no synthetic material and every part of it is handmade (which is why this boot will last a lifetime). These details are important.
- Classic Round Toe
- Uppers are 12" high
- Heel is leather stacked 1 1/2” - The heel and sole are blacked out (video shows old style with brown)
- Soles are hand pegged with lemonwood, reinforced with brass clinch nails
- Reinforced pulls.
- Lux-calf interior for glove-like comfort
- Full leather insole (for breathability and custom shaping to your foot)
Our stock boots are 'true to size' in order to conform perfectly with your foot, but this makes them more of a custom feel (slightly tighter). Other companies tend to oversize their boots, so if you want a comparable fit then go up a half size (if a 10 in other stock boots, order a 10.5) - Its free to exchange if something is off!
Our Full Leather Insoles allow the Width to be Modifiable! They are built on an EE base and have a full leather insole that (when inserted) makes the boot a D width (normal). So, simply remove this leather insert for EE (wide) width, or keep it inserted for D (normal) width. They will conform comfortably to your feet either way.
*UPDATE November 26, 2024: DUE to the high demand - we are not taking any more initials at this time.
Add up to 3 initials on the pulls (black, brown, or bone) to customize the boots. Put the initials in the Order Notes. We handmake these (inlay into the pulls) and it takes us 3-6 weeks to complete this.

These boots are dedicated to The Walker Colt Pistol. The old saying goes like this: God created men equal. Colonel Colt made them equal!
Samuel Colt accepted an order for 1,000 revolvers from Captain Samuel Walker of the Texas Rangers. Walker said It needed to hold six bullets, be simple to reload and “be powerful enough to kill a man with a single shot".
