Tener's Talk on Fit & Leather
Exotic Leather: Because exotic hides are natural materials, each pair will feature unique variations in scale pattern, color, and texture. These are not flaws — they are the hallmark of genuine exotic leather and ensure every pair is truly one of a kind.
Sizing: Most western boots run on men's sizing. Ladies, we recommend sizing down one full size from your usual women's boot size. When in doubt, give us a call — we've been fitting boots since 1930.

Rios of Mercedes has handcrafted premium western boots in Mercedes, Texas since 1853 — one of the most storied bootmakers in the American West. The 160877 features a remarkable Grey Sueded Hippo vamp paired with a 13" Whiskey Bison upper — an exceptionally rare combination. Hippo leather is among the toughest and thickest exotic hides available, comparable to elephant in durability, yet breaks in over time to offer a remarkably soft, suede-like comfort. Each pair features one-of-a-kind grain variations and tone nuances unique to the natural hide. The fit Tener's has been known for since 1930.
