A Boot Collector Feature
Three generations of the Mandujano family have built custom Western boots out of the same Rio Grande Valley town.
Mandujano Boot Company operates out of Weslaco, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, founded by Olegario Mandujano Barajas and now carried forward across three generations of the family. The shop frames its work around preserving the traditional art of handcrafted custom leather boots, offering both made-to-order and ready-made options alongside custom leather accessories.
Bespoke Western boots built around each customer's story, plus a notable sideline in private corporate boot-fitting experiences for executive retreats and client-appreciation events — an unusual crossover between traditional Valley bootmaking and the corporate events trade. The shop also exhibits at sporting and hunting conventions, including the DSC Convention.
Three generations of Rio Grande Valley bootmaking, one family name.
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.
