At Anderson Bean
Boots we value the traditions of Texas bootmaking, and
we build our boots to offer all the comfort and style of
a traditional handmade boot at a price most people can
afford.
Anderson Bean was created by the owners of Rios of
Mercedes Handmade Boots to make available a high
quality, all leather western boot that would fall in the
medium price range.
The independent label has since evolved to include a
full line of boots for every purpose, all at an
affordable price and all built with the knowledge and
expertise of over 100 years of exceptional boot making.
Our faithfulness to the traditions of quality bootmaking
is evident in our attention to detail inside and outside
the boot.
At Anderson Bean we realize that, contrary to what many
boot companies today seem to think, what you can’t see
does matter.
That’s why we are one of the last bootmakers around to
use channeled welt construction, which recesses the
stitching in a groove in the leather insole, resulting
in a distinctive low profile and eliminating the need
for cork or foam rubber fillers. Our boots stand out in
the mid-price boot market for their all-leather
construction.
About the only non-leather components of Anderson Bean
boots are the steel shank for arch support and wooden
pegs in the arch area, an old-fashioned method that aids
arch support and holds the outsole and vamp to the
insole.
These features exemplify our respect for our Texas
bootmaking heritage, and our commitment to good-fitting
boots. The result is a boot that is a cut above the rest
in looks and construction, at an affordable price.
We build our boots honestly, without shortcuts,
gimmicks, or tricks, to bring you the traditions of the
bootmaker’s art.
We think that the styles featured here will prove that
Anderson Bean boots can satisfy the genuine boot wearer,
and offer something extra--handmade quality, in the
South Texas tradition.
