The Trace

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.

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 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.
