A Boot Collector Feature

Stewart Boot Co.

A late-1970s handmade bootmaker whose surviving pairs — including tall 18-inch Buckaroo styles — still turn up dated right on the leather.

The Story

Stewart Boot Co. produced handmade cowhide Western boots in the late 1970s, with surviving pairs consistently dated 1977 directly on the leather — an unusually specific, verifiable detail for a vintage maker whose broader company history otherwise isn't well documented. The styles that turn up most often include tall, 18-inch Buckaroo boots, the same riding-boot tradition associated with other vintage labels in this series, alongside standard black and brown cowhide pairs in various widths.

What They're Known For

Handmade late-1970s construction with a date stamped right into the boot — a small detail that makes Stewart Boot Co. pairs easier to place in time than most unlabeled or undated vintage finds.
