Rios of Mercedes Cowboy Boots

The Rios brothers manufactured and sold their first pair of boots in 1853. Until the mid-1970s, Rios of Mercedes focused on creating customized, one-off boots for individual customers. When the Evans family purchased the company in 1975, they were determined to bring artisan-quality boots to a broader audience without compromising quality.

To meet that goal, the family embarked on a successful mission to elevate the company’s wholesale production and manufacturing operations while honoring the meticulously refined boot-making process at Rios. That enduring commitment to cowboy boot excellence is still evident in every pair of Rios of Mercedes boots.
