Great look, great fit

"The look and the fit are absolutely spot on. I get compliments every time I wear these boots, and they break in quickly. I only wish there would be a restock on the caramel color as I want those too!"

Second Pair of The Trace = Amazing Boots

"This is my second pair of The Trace. I am absolutely in love with this boot (and Rujo in general). High quality boots at a fair price. Perfect fit. Quality construction. Best exotic boots around without spending a (ridiculous) fortune."

Awesome Rujo Black Caiman 7 Toe Boots

"I recently picked up a pair of Rujo black caiman 7 toe boots and they absolutely lived up to expectations. The fit is spot on. Rujo consistently gets sizing right for me and these felt good the moment I put them on. Solid heel lock, comfortable instep, and no awkward break in period. The caiman leather is excellent quality with great texture and a deep black finish that looks sharp without being over the top. The 7 toe is a perfect balance between traditional and modern, clean and masculine, and easy to wear casually or dressed up. What keeps me coming back to Rujo is the value. You get premium materials, strong construction, and a refined look at a price point that still makes sense. These boots feel just as good as brands that cost significantly more. Rujo has become my go to place to purchase cowboy boots. The fit, feel, quality, and overall experience have been consistently excellent, and these black caiman boots are no exception. Highly recommended."

Beautiful Dress Boot

Meet The Trace

The Trace is a Western-style 7-toe Cowboy boot wrapped in RUJO's opulent Caiman Belly and coupled with a gorgeous hand-stitched Suede Nubuck shaft. With this John Wayne-esque look and feel, The Trace goes all in on this classic 7-Toe style.

100% Genuine Caiman

RUJO's 100% genuine Caiman hides set a new standard for cowboy boot design. Every single one of RUJO's Caiman hides undergoes a thorough examination before being selected for the best match of color and pattern. You can see this extra effort when you look at RUJO Boots.

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 intricate stitching on the shaft of The Trace, or the stunning Single-Piece Caiman assembly, and you will see what we mean when we say "The RUJO Difference.'

Single-Piece Caiman Assembly

A single piece of leather adorns the vamps and counters of our top exotic boots, including The Trace. This method denotes a high level of craftsmanship and quality in a pair of boots. Unlike some boot manufacturers, each pair of RUJO's is made from the hide of a single animal.

A Better Boot for a Better Price

Every pair of RUJO Boots is uniquely authentic—a perfect blend of tradition and technology—and is designed right here in Dallas, Texas and handcrafted in León, Mexico.

"A Better Boot, A Better Price"

Dare to compare

You be the judge. We enthusiastically encourage price comparisons. Any
true apples-to-apples price comparison will show that RUJO is easily $40
under other internet based boot sellers (and more than half traditional
retail).
