Down in the Rio Grande Valley, you'll find a boot manufactuer that's can trace it's roots back to 1853. We stop at the Rios of Mercedes Boot Comany to learn about their history and boots!
58 years ago when I was 12 years old, my dad took me to Rios of Mercedes to get fitted for my first custom made boots. I ended up getting a pair of exotic South American lizard boots made. I wore them everyday until I outgrew them. Rios made a very comfortable pair of boots.
I am a big fan of Rios of Mercedes and AB boots, I own quite a few pairs, they are very comfortable and very good quality. I used to work in a western boot factory located in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. I meet Mr Trainor Evans in Denver in 1984 and since then I love Rios of Mercedes boots. Regards from Mallorca (Spain)
Weslaco, TX. It would be nice if we could buy directly from factory!!! Have to order from a $$$$ store for ANDERSON Bean boots… set up a shop locally!!!! ILL BE THERE !!!!
