Rio of Mercedes

Rios of Mercedes dates back to the 1850’s when the Rios family became known for the art of bootmaking. In the early 1900’s, they moved their shop to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley and continued perfecting their craft. When the last of the Rios Bootmakers, Zeferino, retired in the 1960’s, he sold the family business.

Today Rios of Mercedes, under the guidance of Trainor Evans and J.P. Moody, still makes boots in much the same way the Rios family did - by hand. We think you should know that there is no secret to producing well made boots. It takes the best materials, skilled craftsmanship and lots of time. That’s exactly what we put into each Rios of Mercedes boot.
