Tecovas products are exclusively sold directly by us from our online store or our retail locations! We are the first direct-to-consumer Western brand, which means we do not sell our boots to any retailers. As a result, our top-quality products sell for a fraction of what they would typically cost at a traditional retail store! Come visit a store where our staff are more than happy to offer you a drink, help you find your perfect fit, and even shine your boots!

We proudly partner with one of the oldest and most respected bootmakers in the world in León, Mexico to handcraft all of our boots. León is a city steeped in shoemaking history and is the same city in which the majority of western boot brands entrust the production of their best footwear. In fact, our boots are handcrafted alongside some of the very same brands that retail their boots for 2-3X the price.

Our ethical factory is comprised of well-paid artisans, many of whom have been making boots by hand for decades. Read more about us and our handmade Bootmaking Process here!

It is our goal to make and sell the highest quality and most comfortable western boots on the market. We use traditional, handcrafted bootmaking techniques and the highest quality leathers and materials. Our boots stand toe to toe with the most expensive brands out there, but they’re generally much more affordable because of our unique direct-to-consumer business model.

Our boots are constructed using traditional western methods, including ¾ Goodyear welt construction, hand-hammered lemonwood pegs, hand-laid decorative cording, and hand-stitched quarters.

Our sole is comprised of a 100% leather outsole, a corkbed filling that molds to your feet over time, a traditional leather midsole, an EVA strip for comfort, and bovine glove leather lining to top it off.

The entire interior of the boot is lined in supple bovine leather lining, and we construct our shaft ‘inside out’ to hide the seams – so there is no uncomfortable seams inside any of our boots!

While we make every effort to ensure color consistency across all styles, no two authentic animal hides are exactly the same, and slight color variation can be expected from piece to piece. Textures, grain, and patterns can vary from one hide to the next as well, particularly among exotic leathers. Safe to say, every pair is unique.

We do not offer any custom boots; nor do we make boots to order. Our boots are handmade in over 200 steps, but we only construct the sizes and styles as they are featured on our online and retail stores. Any boots purchased from us have already been made and are available immediately (with the exception of any pre-order items)!

For our men’s line, we currently offer seven different profile options:

Roper - 10" shaft, round toe, and 1 ⅛" roper heel (no pitch)
Cowboy - 12" shaft, round toe, and 1 ½" angled cowboy heel
Zip Boot - 8" zippered shaft, round toe, and 1 ¼" angled Hybrid heel
Square Toe - 12" shaft, square toe, and 1 ¼" angled Hybrid heel
Chelsea - 6" shaft, round toe, and 1 ¼" angled Hybrid heel
Wedge - 10" shaft, round toe, and 1" Vibram wedge heel
Horseman - 13 ½" shaft, round toe, and 2" pitched riding heel

For our women’s line, we currently offer five different profile options:

Cowgirl - 12" shaft, round toe, and 1 ¾" heel
Tall Cowgirl - 14" shaft, snip toe, and 2" heel
Western Bootie - 6" shaft, round toe, and 1 ¾" heel
Zip Bootie - 6" shaft height, snip toe, and 2 ½” heel
Chelsea - 6" shaft height, snip toe, and 1 ¾" heel

Most of our boots (men’s and women’s) feature a 100% leather outsole constructed with ¾ Goodyear welt and lemonwood pegs. A rubber heel caps the stacked leather heel for grip.

We do, however, offer Vibram and Butyl-treated leather soles on our men’s Ranch boots!

Unfortunately, we do not offer any customization or other outsole options, but many customers have had success adding a rubber outsole to their boots (at a cobbler) after purchase!

With the exception of our men’s Ranch boots, our insoles are not designed to be removed. They feature an EVA strip and glove leather lining attached to the leather midsole.

That said, it is possible to tear the insoles out (if necessary) if you want to add room for a custom orthotic or insert. Please do not do so unless you are keeping the boots!

We are considering offering more sizes and styles in the future. The easiest way to find out about new size and style availability is to sign up for our emails and texts here!

We are always open to hearing product suggestions! Feel free to email us at howdy@tecovas.com any time.

Per California Penal Code Section 653, "it is illegal to sell python and lizard products in California." As a result, we are unable to ship any of our lizard and python boots or accessories to addresses within the state of California. We apologize for any inconvenience!

Yes, as of Tuesday, March 7, 2023, all alligator, caiman, and two species of crocodile - Nile and Saltwater - can now be sold legally in California and to California residents under international treaty and US federal law.

We handcraft our products using top-quality materials and construction methods, which means they stand toe to toe with the best and most expensive brands out there. In general, you can expect Tecovas products to be the same quality of brands 2 to 3 times the retail price – and about the same price as brands that cost half as much to make.

Tecovas boots are designed to fit true to standard U.S. shoe sizes. The best sizing advice is to simply order what you’d normally order! When in doubt, check the individual guidance shown on each of our product pages & their corresponding Fit Guide highlighted below.

Need more advice? Give us a call at 833-TECOVAS (833-832-6827) or shoot us an email any time at howdy@tecovas.com!

Brannock Devices are used to measure standard U.S. shoe sizes (like our sizing), so you can use This Size Conversion Chart if you don’t know your U.S. shoe size!

Tecovas boots are designed to fit true to standard U.S. shoe sizes, but if you find that you’re in between two half sizes, we generally recommend ordering the lower of the two sizes you’re between. With that said, if you have a wider-than-average foot or a high instep, we’d recommend going with the higher of the two half sizes.

Our team has had varied experiences with other boot and shoe brands, but the safest route to go for sizing is the size you order most often with other brands.

When you’re first putting them on (which can sometimes take a bit of effort), you should feel a nice ‘thump’ when your heel slides into place. Once on, your toes should be comfortable and the boot should feel snug around the top and sides of your foot. When walking around, you want to experience some heel lift, but it shouldn’t feel like your heel is lifting completely out of the heel cup.

While most of our boots are not specifically designed for higher insteps, we recommend sizing up a width (for men) or up a half size (for women) if you know you have a higher-than-average instep. We also introduced Zip Boots for men - each featuring a zipper that makes it a more accessible boot for folks with higher insteps!

We make two widths for men’s boots: D (average width) and EE (wide width). For women’s boots, we recommend sizing up a half size if you have wider feet (all of our women’s boots are B width).

We don’t currently make widths narrower than D for men or B for women, but we have many customers with narrow feet who are quite happy with the fit of their Tecovas! Generally, we recommend ordering down a half size for each letter width difference (e.g., if you are a men’s 10C, try a 9.5D in Tecovas).

We have many happy customers with bunions who can comfortably wear our boots. All of the leathers we use are incredibly supple, and comfortable, and will naturally stretch some with wear. For sizing, we recommend ordering your normal size and, when in doubt, we offer free returns and exchanges should you need to give another size or style a try!

Tecovas boots are not specifically designed for flat feet or high arches, but they offer great arch support in general as a result of the construction - which includes a shank and lemonwood pegging in the arch area of the foot. We also introduced Zip Boots for men - each featuring a zipper that makes it a more accessible boot for folks with higher insteps!

Our insoles are not designed to be removed (they are attached to the midsole), but many customers use inserts successfully with our boots. We would suggest sizing up a half size to accommodate the extra room! If you have a thicker orthotic insert, it is possible to tear out our insole to accommodate, but we ask that you wait to do this until you are certain you’re not returning the boots.

We do not offer mismatched sizing for our boots (we only sell them in matching pairs). However, if you have two differently sized feet, we recommend sizing to the larger size and using an insert to accommodate the smaller foot!

We currently offer an assortment of both men’s and women’s jeans, which come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. While our sizing runs true to industry standards, we typically recommend ordering the size you normally wear (or the size most commonly found in your closet!), based on your preferred fit and style. When in doubt, you can always reference the fit guides on our product pages.
