Vintage Boots: Black Wedge Boots

Black Wedge Boots

Justin Boots began as a boot repair business that worked on repairing boots for cowboys riding the Chisholm Trail. This was in 1879 and it wasn’t until 1925 that the company put down roots in Fort Worth, Texas as the Justin Boot Company. Until 1925 H.J. Justin traveled the trail with the cowboys providing a dedicated service that was desperately needed. He showed conviction for his work and commitment to providing boots that got the job done.

In the 1920s, the company made custom made boots. Boots were fitted using a fit kit. The fit kit worked off measurements of the length and width of the customer’s foot.
