Republic Boot Co. is a Houston-based bootmaker founded in 2011 by fifth-generation Texan Chris Conrad, blending true custom craftsmanship with the accessibility of a modern luxury brand. Each pair is handcrafted in the company's Houston bootshop, backed by a vertically integrated supply chain spanning crocodile farms, tanneries, and manufacturing. Rooted in the Heights, where the Conrad family's history dates back to the late 1800s, Republic Boot Co. has grown into one of the country's premier custom bootmakers, known for exceptional craftsmanship and a commitment to preserving Texas heritage.
