Shoes of Mexico

Mexican bootmaking is built around the resole, which is what the Goodyear welt is for. Botas Hasta La Muerte makes Goodyear-welted boots built to be resoled. Estrada Boots cuts cowboy boots in exotic leather with bespoke fittings. Caborca Boots (Caborca Group) produces traditionally constructed cowboy boots at scale. Exotic skins should come with paperwork; a shop that cannot produce it is selling the wrong boot. Bespoke fittings take weeks; the makers working at scale sell from the shelf the same afternoon.
