About Back at the Ranch Cowboy Boots
Back at the Ranch has successfully transcended the Western-wear market and revived an American classic.
Our custom-made cowboy boots have turned an American classic into a fashion-forward sensation. From a historical adobe store in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Back at the Ranch has breathed new life into the ultimate symbol of Americana: the handmade cowboy boot. As one of the world’s last remaining makers of handcrafted cowboy boots, Back at the Ranch also offers customers the chance to personalize its distinctive luxury products with their own designs, prompting The New York Times to call it “one of the best custom boot companies in the country.”
By combining durable quality with style, we create cowboy boots that are a true expression of their owner’s individuality— whether customers choose one of the 700 handmade pairs stocked at Back at the Ranch’s charming store, or a bespoke pair of boots with their own distinct design or color scheme.
"I launched my store in 1990, I realized that, aesthetically, the cowboy boot industry was stuck in the 1950s,” says owner Wendy Henry. “It desperately needed fashion-forward ideas about colors and designs to complement its renowned craftsmanship, so I set about making the best handmade cowboy boots ever produced."

All of our creations are hand made in our El Paso,Texas Factory and crafted by our second- and third-generation bootmakers. They are are dedicated to their craft, preserving the integrity of the handmade "cowboy" boot.
