A Boot Collector Feature

Remington Boot Co.

A vintage El Paso bootmaker whose name gets lost today in the noise of other brands using "Remington" simply as a boot style name.

The Story

Remington Boot Co. operated out of El Paso, Texas — a city that, as this series has covered repeatedly, was a major center of American cowboy bootmaking for most of the 20th century. Vintage pairs bearing the Remington Boot Co. name, including rockabilly-style white-tip boots, confirm it as a genuine maker from that era, distinct from any of the larger El Paso names like Tony Lama or Lucchese. Beyond its confirmed existence, a fuller company history — founder, founding date, how long it operated — wasn't available at the time of writing.

What They're Known For

Vintage El Paso construction, including some distinctive rockabilly-styled pairs — a genuine piece of the city's bootmaking history, worth distinguishing clearly from the many unrelated "Remington" boot styles sold by other brands today.
