Ride With the Best
The Parker is a weatherproofed performance boot built for the saddle. Available here in bullhide or roughout, both are equally tough with a ¾ Goodyear double-stitched welt, slim Vibram outsole and rugged bullhide counter made to handle spurs. Its 1 ½” stacked leather heel is slightly pitched in the front for stirrup grip, and the back houses a 6/16” spur ledge. Its 12” shaft showcases a double-row stitched flame design and is topped with sturdy pullholes. It has a dual-insole with a removable, cushioned footbed and sports a tasteful cutter toe. Giddy up!

Store Your Boots
- Store your boots in a dry and dark place.
- Alternate boot-wearing days to let boots properly dry out.
- Ideally, store with tissue, newspaper, or a cedar shoe tree that does not stretch the leather.
These methods above will help minimize moisture and extend the life of your boots.
How To Clean
- Brush dirt off after every wear with a horsehair brush; use a damp cloth if necessary.
- Wipe residue with a damp cloth, dry, and brush/buff.
Condition
- While boots are still damp, lightly apply conditioner over the entire boot, ideally with fingers, but you can use a brush or cloth.
- Let the conditioner dry and then buff with a horsehair brush.
- Condition 3-4 times per year (or as needed). Bison’s natural oils protect your pair from drying out, so they don’t need consistent conditioning. In fact, we encourage you not to over-condition them, as that could lead to damaging the finish.
For conditioner, we suggest our Basics Care Kit or the Bickmore’s Bick 4 conditioner.
Polish & Shine
- Polishing will leave the boots with a glossy finish. We suggest avoiding colored polishes since they can alter the color of your boots.
- After your boots have dried, apply a small amount of wax-based polish to all the areas you wish to shine.
- Let the polish dry and then brush off the boot with a soft cloth.
- Buff with a horsehair brush to the desired level of shine.
For polish, we suggest the included polish in our Basics Care Kit.
- Lincoln wax polish (neutral) and Allen Edmonds spray shine are also great options.
