COWHIDE
Full grain cowhide sets the bar for all premium cowboy boots. The natural fibers and heavier weight of the skin make the boots perform like iron in the toughest
conditions while providing softness and comfort to the wearer.

CARE
Regular cleaning and conditioning will help cowhide boots last longer. Be sure to let boots dry after exposure to wet and muddy conditions. Use a horsehair boot brush or a clean damp cloth to remove debris before cleaning and conditioning the leather. We recommend Bickmore’s Bick 4 Leather Conditioner.

      C.H. Hyer Photographed in 1870

      SINCE 1875

      THE INVENTOR OF THE COWBOY BOOT

      In 1875, a rancher walked into C.H. Hyer’s cobbler shop after a long cattle drive. He asked C.H. to build him a better shoe for spending long days in the saddle.

      The result? C.H. created a purpose-built boot with a tapered toe, raised heel, tall shaft, and a scalloped opening. The unmistakable silhouette known around the world as the Cowboy Boot.

      All your Boot Questions Answered

      Choose your normal shoe size. HYER boots fit true to US sizing.
      ■ Be conscious of your sock – thin or thick. This can make a difference when trying on boots.
      ■ In between sizes - we recommend the ½ size larger.
      ■ Narrow foot – we recommend to either size down or choose your true size in regular width (size B for women’s and size D for men’s).
      ■ Wide foot – we recommend to either size up or choose the wide widths available (size C for women’s, and size EE for men’s).
      ■ Your size should fit the same across all silhouettes.

      The fit of our styles are traditional and straightforward. There should be very slight resistance when pulling them on
      and zero resistance once you’re “through the turn”.
      ■ You should feel slippage in the heel area and comfortable conformity in the instep. 
      ■ Both toe profiles are most common and stylish today in authentic western and the most comfortable for everyday use.
      ■ These styles were made for the working cowboy and cowgirl while keeping modern function and diverse use in mind.
      ■ HYER boots fit true to size. When deciding what size, you should go off your normal shoe size.

      Please refer to our Fit & Size Guide

      It is best to try boots on carpet so that the soles do not scuff should you need to return.
      ■ Slip your foot into the boot. You should feel a POP when your heel slides past the counter and onto the insole.
      ■ Validate the heel lift. You should be able to lift your heel but not a whole lot. The leather will shape to your heel and hold it in place over time.
      ■ The ball of your foot should hit the widest section of the boot for added comfort.
      ■ Your arch should feel a bit snug. The leather will stretch as the boot forms to your foot.
      ■ Check the flawless fit and comfort by walking around!

      Traditional and durable method used in crafting footwear. It involves stitching a welt (a strip of leather) to both the
      upper and insole of the boot.
      ■ Just as cowboy boots were originally made by HYER in 1875, Goodyear welt is still the prime construction for well-made, long-lasting boots. 
      ■ These 3/4 welt versions include wood pegs and nails, they both secure the hand-placed shank and add stability.

      Yes, we offer free returns and exchanges for unworn items at HYER Boots.

        beautiful boots

        OK, my friend turned me onto these boots and told me they were a Marilyn Monroe inspired boot which made me even more excited. Actually bought them in the stands at a concert and when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Super quick shipping when I opened the box, the smell of quality leather filled air. And then the boot . beautifully handcrafted , super sexy and fit like a glove! I’m definitely contemplating another pair. The red dust bag was extremely high-end and classy. Thank you so much for an amazing collectors item, that represents an amazing and iconic actress and person. I’m so excited to wear them to an upcoming event.

        GLAMOROUS

        Marilyn’s signature on the dust bag and bottom of the boots are a NICE touch. As a designer and artist—little details are EVERYTHING to me. Even the hang tag was well thought out. The photo on the hang tag of Marilyn wearing these boots made me smile and I imagined her as I pulled them on for a Fourth of July party. Wearing them— I felt as glamorous as Marilyn herself. The cream color is striking, and the boots are perfect knee height. More companies need to honor classics from history and yesteryear. Hyer did just that, well done. Marilyn would have turned 100 years old this past June. We lost her too soon, but I can honor her legacy by wearing these boots. Thank you for helping me to remember what a treasure she was.
