The Deacon

MEET THE DEACON

Every cowboy needs a great pair of ostrich boots, and The Deacon is our take on this all-time favorite exotic style. It has our stunning Full-Quill Ostrich vamp, the classic R-Toe, and a Western heel. It is truly one of the best ostrich cowboy boots on the market.

TRUE FULL-QUILL

On our Full-Quill Ostrich boots, RUJO only uses leather from the most mature birds, which means that our boots have some of the largest, most beautiful quill patterns you can find anywhere. See the difference for yourself when you slip on The Deacon for the first time.

DARE TO COMPARE

"A Better Boot, A Better Price"

We did our homework. We did the research. We know what makes a great boot. We know the competition and we know the prices that they charge. That’s why we started RUJO. Sure, it takes money. But it also takes confidence. And we are confident that when you compare RUJO boots and the prices we charge with the other names in the business, you will be pleased with your choice. Thank you for your consideration. Be Brave.

GOODYEAR-WELTED OUTSOLE

The Goodyear Welt is the best method of attaching a boot’s sole to its upper. This technique makes a boot extremely durable and easy to repair.

100% GENUINE LEATHER HIDES

Every single piece of leather you will find on your RUJO Boots is 100% genuine animal hide. We use only the highest quality skins for our boots.

SUPPLE CALFSKIN LINING

Every RUJO boot is lined with a supple layer of our ultra-soft Legacy Calfskin, which increases comfort and hides the seams on the inside of the boot.

LEMONWOOD PEGS

Like the bootmakers of old, RUJO uses lemonwood pegs in our outsoles to guarantee a secure bond between the sole and upper of each boot.

HAND-HAMMERED PEGS & NAILS

Expert RUJO artisans hand hammer each peg and nail into the shanks of our boots and inspect them for a snug fit, ensuring a lasting sole assembly.

STACKED LEATHER HEEL WITH RUBBER CAP

A stacked leather heel ensures stability and comfort, and the rubber cap on the bottom provides traction so you can tread confidently.

CLOUD WALK MEMORY FOAM INSOLE

RUJO’s specially-designed memory foam insole is a revolution in comfort. Once you’ve worn boots with Cloud Walk, you’ll never go back.

FREE SHIPPING, RETURNS, & EXCHANGES

We stand by our products. We offer fast, free shipping, returns, and exchanges, so that your RUJO experience is as easy as possible.

100% LEATHER OUTSOLE

Unlike some bootmakers, RUJO uses 100% genuine cowhide for the outsoles of our boots. This is a classic, time-honored way to make western boots.

HAND-STITCHED AND CORDED

From beginning to end, every RUJO boot is handcrafted. This artistry is especially evident in the cording and stitching found on our boots.

TRIPLE-STITCHED PULL STRAPS

We’re serious about the quality of our boots. Every pair of RUJOs is over-engineered for maximum durability throughout a long life of wear.

SINGLE-PIECE EXOTIC HIDE

A single piece of leather adorns the vamps and counters of our top exotic boots. This construction is valued for its exceptional craftsmanship.

WE SWEAT THE DETAILS

Every element of our boots is hand-made by the famed master craftsmen of León, Mexico. Take a closer look at The Deacon’s triple-stitched pull-straps, or the beautiful hand-cording and stitching on the shaft, and you’ll see what we mean when we say “The RUJO Difference.”

100% GENUINE LEATHER

We are committed to going the extra mile for our customers, and that starts at the bottom. Our outsoles and heels are 100% genuine leather, and are fixed to the uppers using the Goodyear Welt construction for exceptional durability, easy repair, and lifelong use.
