Handcrafted in León, Mexico, the bootmaking capital of the world, the Rhodes Roper Boot pairs the clean silhouette of a dress boot with the utility of a traditional cowboy boot. While the upper faithfully reproduces the shape of the iconic western style, the sole dials back the aggressive heel for a lower profile and easier stride. The boots are built on a sturdy Goodyear welt, so you can wear them into the ground, resole them, and repeat. And because each Roper is cut from genuine leather, no two hides look exactly alike. There will be slight differences in nap and color from pair to pair—a natural feature of the leather that gives every boot its own character.
