Our take
Cowboy boots are timeless - an icon of American fashion that has endured through the ages. But Tecovas aims to bring them into the 21st Century with an online retail model that doesn’t skimp on quality.
Its boots are traditionally made at a veteran boot factory in Léon, Mexico, with over 200 steps in the process, but Tecovas’ straight-to-consumer model allows the company to bypass middle-party retailers and knock nearly $100 off the average price points of their boots.
It’s the first company to offer this sort of model for this product, and has upended a billion-dollar industry in doing so. Its initial success has helped it to open 13 physical stores in Texas, the state with the biggest market for cowboy boots. But over 70% of Tecovas’s sales come from other states, allowing the company to essentially create new markets where other brands that only operated in brick-and-mortar stores are unable to compete.
