About Hondo Boots
Hondo Boots has been a bastion of traditional cowboy boot construction since it was founded in 1965 by Filbert Guijarro Sr. in El Paso, Texas. The company is one of the few remaining manufacturers that steadfastly refuses to use synthetic materials, insisting on all-leather insoles, outsoles, and linings for every pair. Their boots are handcrafted just across the border in Mexico using time-honored Goodyear welt construction and heavy-duty hides like bullhide and roughout. This dedication to the "old way" of bootmaking has made Hondo a favorite among working cowboys who demand durability and repairability. They take immense pride in their legacy, proving that a comfortable, long-lasting boot doesn't need modern shortcuts.
