A Boot Collector Feature
A family-owned East Texas shop built on custom boots, ready-to-wear styles, and repair work — doing things, as their own motto puts it, "the right way, not the easy way."
Franklin's Boot Shop operates as a family-owned business in Mineola, Texas, a small town in the Piney Woods of East Texas. The shop handles custom boot orders, carries ready-to-wear styles, and does repair work, built around a stated philosophy of doing things the right way rather than the easy way. Beyond that, detailed company history — a founding date, a founder's name, how the shop came to be — hasn't surfaced in available records.
A full-service East Texas boot shop covering custom, ready-to-wear, and repair under one roof, with a family-business reputation built on craftsmanship over shortcuts.
Custom boots, ready-to-wear, and repair, done the family way in East Texas.
Pairs from smaller, custom, or long-closed makers rarely come up for sale, so this search may not find anything. It’s worth checking back now and then.
