Vintage Justin White Label Pre-Ban Sea Turtle Cowboy Boots
Size: Men’s 10 EE (Wide)
Maker: Justin — White Label (Fort Worth, Texas — Made in U.S.A.)
Material: Genuine Pre-Ban Sea Turtle Vamps, Dark Chocolate Leather Shafts
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A commanding pair of vintage Justin White Label cowboy boots in genuine pre-ban sea turtle — one of the rarest and most coveted exotics in the entire boot world. The sea turtle vamps display the unmistakable cellular scute pattern in a rich cognac/mahogany finish: large, glossy, mosaic-like tiles that shift from deep brown to warm amber depending on how the light hits them. The turtle skin wraps generously from the sharp snip toe up over the instep and all the way around the heel counter — full coverage that showcases the exotic at its most dramatic.

Above the turtle, the tall dark chocolate leather shafts are decorated with bold gold lightning-bolt and starburst stitchwork — angular, radiating patterns that wrap 360 degrees with serious visual energy. The contrast between the warm cognac turtle and the dark chocolate shafts with gold stitching is striking and cohesive. The matching sea turtle pull straps at the collar are a premium detail — confirming this was built as a top-tier exotic boot from the ground up. The golden buttercup interior lining is the hallmark of Justin’s finest production.

Justin White Label — Why It Matters
The “White Label” designation denotes Justin’s premium production line — a step above their standard offerings in materials, construction, and finish. White Label boots were built with the finest exotic skins, premium leather linings, and meticulous attention to detail. Combined with the “Made in U.S.A.” stamp and the Fort Worth heritage (Justin was founded in 1879), a White Label exotic represents the brand at its absolute best.

Pre-Ban Sea Turtle — The Rarest of the Rare
Sea turtle sits at the very top of the exotic rarity hierarchy — alongside elephant and anteater — as one of the most restricted leathers on earth. Protected under CITES international wildlife trade laws for decades, genuine sea turtle leather can no longer be commercially produced or imported. Every pair in existence is pre-ban vintage stock, and the supply only shrinks as pairs are worn out, damaged, or retired to collections. Finding a pair in this condition, in a wearable wide width, is genuinely uncommon.

The Wide Width
At 10 EE, these offer a roomy, comfortable fit that wide-footed buyers rarely find in exotic boots. Most vintage exotics top out at D width — a double-E in pre-ban sea turtle is a genuine rarity within a rarity.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition with honest wear. The sea turtle vamps are intact with the cellular scute pattern well-defined and glossy; there is honest creasing across the instep and natural wear/scuffing at the toes consistent with use (see close-up photos). Some light surface crazing is visible at the toe tips — normal aging for turtle skin of this vintage. The dark chocolate leather shafts are supple with creasing and the gold stitchwork fully intact and crisp. The matching sea turtle pull straps are secure. As shown in the sole photos, the leather soles display moderate wear from use and the rubber heel caps show honest wear. The golden buttercup interior lining is clean. Overall a structurally sound pair with the turtle skin in solid shape and plenty of life left.

Vintage Dan Post Black Cherry Caiman Tail Cowboy Boots
Size: Men’s 10.5 EW (Extra Wide)
Maker: Dan Post Boot Company
Style: 339007
Material: Genuine Caiman Tail Vamps, Black Cherry Leather Shafts
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A striking pair of vintage Dan Post boots featuring genuine caiman tail vamps in a rich black cherry finish, paired with deep cherry-black leather shafts and elaborate gray scroll stitchwork. Dark, dramatic, and full of dimensional texture, these are a true exotic statement boot — and in a hard-to-find extra-wide 10.5 EW.

The caiman tail is the showpiece. Unlike the flatter belly cut, the tail cut showcases the dramatic raised hornback scutes — rows of bold, bumpy, pyramid-like tiles that run down the vamp and create incredible three-dimensional texture and shine. The skin is finished in a gorgeous antiqued black cherry, where deep oxblood and burgundy tones flash through the high-gloss near-black surface depending on the light. The caiman extends across the vamps, over the instep, and around to the heel counter, wrapping the entire lower boot in premium exotic.

The tall shafts are crafted in matching black cherry leather and decorated with flowing gray scroll and flame stitchwork, with red piping at the collar and pull tabs. The round toe and stacked Western heel complete the silhouette. Inside, the boots are stamped “10½ EW · Style 339007” confirming the Dan Post pedigree and the extra-wide width, over a leather lining (with a flash of blue at the pull holes).

Dan Post & Caiman Tail
The Dan Post Boot Company built its reputation on quality exotic leather boots, and caiman is one of their signature offerings. Tail-cut caiman is especially prized — it’s harder to work with than the belly, and the raised scute pattern delivers far more drama and texture than standard cuts. Paired with the rich black cherry antiquing, this is an exotic boot that commands attention while remaining versatile enough to wear with jeans or a suit.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition with honest wear. The caiman tail vamps are intact with the bold scute pattern beautifully preserved and the black cherry finish glossy and rich; there is some honest wear and light marking at the toes consistent with use (see close-up photos). The black cherry leather shafts are supple with the gray scrollwork fully intact and crisp. As shown in the sole photos, the leather soles display honest wear from use but remain solid, and the stacked heels show wear with the branded rubber heel caps intact. The interior is clean with the Dan Post markings legible. Overall a well-cared-for pair with plenty of life left.

Vintage Dan Post Black Caiman Cowboy Boots

Maker: Dan Post Boot Company
Material: Genuine Caiman (Hornback) Vamps, Black Leather Shafts
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A bold, handsome pair of vintage Dan Post boots featuring genuine black caiman vamps with tall black leather shafts and striking white-and-grey flame stitchwork. Dark, glossy, and full of presence, these are a true exotic statement boot — equally at home with jeans, a suit, or anything in between.

The caiman vamps are the star. Finished in deep glossy black, the skin displays the unmistakable raised, pebbled scute pattern of genuine caiman — rows of bumpy, dimensional tiles that catch the light and give the boot rich texture and depth. The exotic skin extends from the pointed toe up over the instep and around to the heel counter, wrapping the entire lower boot in premium caiman.

The tall black leather shafts feature elaborate flame-and-scroll stitchwork in white and grey thread — dense, flowing patterns with pointed flame motifs and a diamond accent that pop dramatically against the black leather. Pull straps sit at the collar, the pointed toe and stacked Western heel complete the silhouette, and the interior is leather-lined. The leather soles and rubber heel caps carry the “DAN POST” maker’s stamp, confirming the pedigree.

Dan Post & Caiman
The Dan Post Boot Company built its reputation on quality exotic leather boots, and caiman has long been one of their most popular offerings. Caiman — a member of the crocodilian family — is prized for its bold, textured scale pattern and its durability, making it both eye-catching and hard-wearing. The classic all-black caiman-and-leather combination is timeless: dressy enough for a night out, tough enough for everyday, and always commanding attention.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition with honest wear. The caiman vamps are intact with the scute pattern well-defined and the glossy finish largely preserved; there is some honest wear and surface marking consistent with age and use, including scuffing at the toes (see photos). The black leather shafts are supple with the white/grey stitchwork fully intact and crisp. The leather soles show wear from use but remain solid with the Dan Post stamp visible, and the stacked heels show wear with the branded rubber heel caps intact. The interior is clean. Overall a well-cared-for pair with plenty of life left.

The Bottom Line
Dan Post. Genuine black caiman. Bold flame-stitch shafts. Men’s 10 D. This is a classic exotic cowboy boot in the most versatile colorway there is — all-black caiman goes with everything and never goes out of style. A great pickup for the exotic boot lover or anyone who wants a statement boot with genuine crocodilian texture and dependable Dan Post construction.

Vintage Fox Pre-Ban Sea Turtle Cowboy Boots
Size: Men’s 10.5 D
Maker: Fox (Made in Mexico)
Material: Genuine Sea Turtle Vamps, Cognac Leather Shafts
Era: Pre-Ban Vintage
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A handsome and increasingly rare pair for the exotic collector. These vintage Fox cowboy boots feature genuine sea turtle vamps — an exotic leather that has been completely banned from commercial trade for decades — paired with rich cognac leather shafts in a classic two-tone Western design. Fox built a reputation for high-quality, handcrafted boots out of Mexico, and this pair showcases exactly why.

The sea turtle vamps are the star. Finished in a deep, glossy chocolate brown, the skin displays the unmistakable texture of genuine turtle: large, distinct cellular scutes with raised, rounded centers and defined borders, creating an organic, almost geological surface pattern that no other exotic leather can replicate. The natural variation in the scute pattern — larger plates toward the center, smaller toward the edges — confirms the authenticity of this remarkable material. The high-gloss finish brings out incredible depth in the brown coloration, shifting from near-black to warm mahogany as the light moves across it. The sea turtle extends from the pointed toe up over the instep and wraps around the heel counter for generous exotic coverage.

The shafts are crafted from warm cognac/tan leather featuring elaborate gray scroll stitching — flowing, symmetrical patterns of interlocking curves and flame motifs that fill the entire shaft from the V-notch collar to the ankle. The two-tone combination of the dark turtle vamps against the lighter cognac shafts is timeless and handsome. The interior is lined in a pale buttercup leather, and the boots retain their Fox label inside the shaft.

The pointed snip toe and stacked leather heel complete the classic cowboy silhouette.

Fox: Quality Mexican Craftsmanship
Fox earned a solid reputation as a maker of high-quality, handcrafted cowboy boots produced in Mexico. The country has a deep and storied bootmaking tradition, and the finest Mexican makers — Fox among them — produced exotic leather boots that rivaled their American counterparts in both construction and artistry. Hand-lasted, leather-soled, and built with quality exotic skins, these boots reflect serious craftsmanship at a level that has become increasingly hard to find.

Why Pre-Ban Sea Turtle Matters
Sea turtles are protected under international law, and all species are listed under CITES, making any commercial trade in sea turtle products illegal. No new sea turtle leather can legally be produced or sold. Every pair of sea turtle boots in existence today is pre-ban vintage stock — a finite, irreplaceable supply that will never be replenished.

Among exotic boot collectors, sea turtle sits in a rarefied tier alongside elephant and anteater — far rarer than alligator, ostrich, or python. The distinctive cellular scute texture is instantly recognizable to those who know exotic leathers, and genuine pre-ban sea turtle boots are actively sought after by serious collectors who understand that this material can never be made again.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition with honest wear. The sea turtle vamps are intact with the scute pattern clearly defined and the glossy finish well-preserved — there is some minor surface crazing/fine cracking visible at the toes consistent with the natural aging of turtle skin, but no major losses or structural issues. The cognac leather shafts show creasing and natural softening from wear. The gray scroll stitching is fully intact. The leather soles show significant wear. The stacked heels show wear and scuffing. The pointed toes show scuffing at the tips. The interior is clean with the Fox label present. These boots have been worn and enjoyed, and they retain both their structural integrity and their collector appeal.

Vintage Rios of Mercedes Blue Stingray Cowboy Boots
Size: Men’s 10.5 D
Maker: Rios of Mercedes (Mercedes, Texas)
Material: Genuine Blue Stingray Vamps & Heel Counters, Navy Blue Leather Shafts
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A stunning pair of genuine stingray cowboy boots from one of the most respected names in Texas bootmaking. These Rios of Mercedes boots feature full blue-dyed stingray vamps that extend generously from the toe through the entire lower foot, wrapping around the heel counter for maximum exotic coverage. The matching navy blue leather shafts feature elegant chevron stitching — clean, understated lines that let the extraordinary stingray skin command all the attention.

The stingray skin displays the unmistakable pebbly texture that makes this exotic leather so distinctive — thousands of tiny, glass-hard calcified denticles that catch the light and shimmer with a subtle iridescence. Each vamp prominently features the “crown” — the white diamond-shaped cluster of larger denticles at the center of the ray’s back, considered the hallmark of genuine, full-hide stingray. This is the mark that collectors look for, and both boots display it beautifully.

The interior is fully lined in Rios of Mercedes’ signature golden tan leather, with the classic woven “Rios of Mercedes / Mercedes, Texas” label on the pull strap. The boots feature a traditional round toe and a classic Western riding heel.

Rios of Mercedes: The Bootmaker’s Bootmaker
Rios of Mercedes has been handcrafting cowboy boots in the small South Texas town of Mercedes since 1853 — making them one of the oldest continuously operating boot companies in the United States. Located in the Rio Grande Valley, just miles from the Mexican border, Rios has maintained a quiet, no-nonsense reputation built entirely on quality rather than marketing.

While flashier brands chase trends, Rios of Mercedes has remained steadfastly committed to traditional handcrafted construction. Every pair is bench-made by skilled artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Among boot collectors and working cowboys alike, Rios is considered the “bootmaker’s bootmaker” — a brand chosen by people who know boots and care about construction above all else.

Their exotic leather work is particularly revered. Rios sources premium hides and handles them with the expertise that only 170 years of bootmaking can provide. A pair of Rios exotics represents the pinnacle of South Texas craftsmanship.

About Stingray Leather
Stingray (shagreen) is one of the most durable exotic leathers in existence. The calcified denticles that give stingray its distinctive pebbly texture are essentially the same material as teeth — making stingray leather virtually impossible to scuff, scratch, or puncture under normal wear. It is fire-resistant, water-resistant, and will outlast virtually any other leather. Ancient Japanese samurai used stingray skin to wrap sword handles for its unmatched grip and durability.

Blue-dyed stingray is particularly striking and uncommon. The dye penetrates the denticles to create a rich, deep blue that shimmers in the light, while the natural white crown remains as a dramatic focal point.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition with honest wear. The stingray skin is in excellent shape — the denticles are intact and retain their blue coloration and natural shimmer. The navy leather shafts show creasing and natural patina consistent with age. The leather soles show moderate wear, and the heels show scuffing. The interior golden leather lining is clean and intact. These boots have been well worn and well loved, and they have plenty of miles left in them.

The Bottom Line
Rios of Mercedes. Blue stingray. Full coverage vamps and heel counters. This is a serious boot from a serious maker, built to last generations. For the man who appreciates top-tier Texas craftsmanship and one of the world’s most durable exotic leathers, this pair delivers on every level.

Vintage Late 1990s Sendra Longhorn & Stars Cowboy Boots
Size: Men’s 10 D

Maker: Sendra Boots (Almansa, Spain)
Era: Late 1990s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
These are boots that demand to be seen. A stunning pair of vintage Sendra cowboy boots in a bold black, red, and white colorway featuring an iconic Western motif executed with European flair. Every inch of these boots is loaded with detail — from the red flame wingtip overlays at the toe to the longhorn skull inlays at the back, these are a statement piece in every sense.

The black leather shafts showcase an elaborate design featuring white leather longhorn skull inlays with sweeping horns, white star cut-outs, and intricate red stitched leaf patterns that cascade across the entire shaft. The collar features a dramatic red leather overlay in a bold geometric pattern with cut-out star details. At the heel counter, red flame-style inlays rise from the base, mirroring the fire motif at the toe. The sharp, elongated snip toe is classic Sendra — aggressive, confident, and unmistakably European in its proportions.

The leather soles bear the embossed Sendra “S” logo at the heel, and the boots are fully leather-lined in Sendra’s signature cream interior.

Sendra: Spain’s Premier Boot House
Sendra Boots has been handcrafting Western and biker boots in Almansa, Spain, since 1913 — over a century of family-owned bootmaking in the Castilla-La Mancha region, an area historically renowned for its leather and shoemaking traditions. While American bootmakers dominated the domestic market, Sendra carved out a legendary reputation across Europe and internationally by blending traditional Western silhouettes with a distinctly European boldness in design and color.

Sendra boots became the go-to choice for the European rockabilly, country, and rock scenes throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Their willingness to push boundaries — sharper toes, bolder inlays, more aggressive color combinations — earned them a cult following among musicians, bikers, and fashion-forward Westerners who wanted something with more edge than a standard American stock boot.

Every Sendra boot is handmade using the Goodyear welt construction method, ensuring durability and the ability to be resoled. The leather is sourced and tanned in Spain, and the craftsmanship reflects over a century of accumulated expertise.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition. The black leather remains supple and glossy, and all red and white inlays are intact and securely attached. There is natural creasing in the shaft leather consistent with wear. The leather soles show moderate use, and the heels retain the embossed Sendra branding. The snip toes show minor scuffing at the tips. Overall, these present beautifully and are ready to wear.

The Appeal
Finding vintage Sendras in the U.S. market is uncommon — these boots were far more prevalent in Europe, and relatively few made it stateside. The combination of Spanish craftsmanship, the bold longhorn-and-stars design, and the rockabilly attitude makes this pair a standout for anyone looking for Western boots with serious personality. These are stage boots, honky-tonk boots, Saturday-night boots — built to be noticed.
