Tall, dark, and stormy. That’s what these boots are. Add a little “Man in Black” swagger to your outfit with this pair of Poseidon (mythic lord of the Ocean) boots by Rios Mercedes Boot Company. These boots pack serious attitude and incredible craftsmanship, featuring a deep, dark gray vamp with natural creasing in black that almost looks like lightning striking through the leather itself. The quarter stitching is equally striking, with an interesting, unique stitching pattern that combines geometric elements and filigree curvature. The quarters themselves are made from strong goat leather with a suede finish.
These luxury, suede men’s cowboy boots are made from the highest quality leathers available and built with American craftsmanship that definitely make them top quality western wear that’s a must have! Pinto Ranch only selects the best cuts from the best leathers, and these have been handmade by the masters at Rios who’ve been crafting fine boots for more than 150 years.

thank you for this great article. the beauty of these boots intrigue me so much and nothing sounds sweet as getting free delivery and a very good return policy. the goats skin used provides the comfort and flexibility and most of all the price range is fair enough. thank you for this great post
Thanks for sharing. The handmade boots are phenomenal! Hope I spelled that correctly? If you have any questions, let us know.
My husband says that these boots are so attractive, if he had a pair he might hardly want to wear them. The beauty is in the stitching patterns, the suede inserts, and the designs. It is a pity that the best part of these boots run up the leg and when covered with jeans, no one can see it. We would like to know how durable are these boots? What is the average life of them?. Thanks for this review
The durability is amazing because they are handmade boots that are meant to last. It’s not surprising for these boots to last 20 or 30 years. Even longer!
I’ve been in boots since I was a kid, 60 years old now and I had to click your link and go in and look around. I’ve never owned any goat skin boots but they do look comfortable. I have always been afraid to order boots off the internet because of size differences. With some boots I may wear a 10-1/2 and others I may wear a 12. With their 60 day return policy I would feel very much at ease ordering these boots. I am going to bookmark your page and when I am in the market for a new pair I will be back. Thanks for the great review.
It’s actually not a bad thing ordering boots anymore. A lot of places and most of the boots that are on our site come from a company that allows free returns and exchanges within 60 days. This is a big relief if you are concerned about sizing because you can return and exchange them for another size completely for free.
