Dean Zip Goat Leather Western Boot

Story

Slim-jean friendly modern cowboy boots

The great thing about cowboy boots is that they never really go out of style. Tecovas has done it once again with this modern take on the Western boot, better known asthe Dean. Built with an inner leg zipper along with a smaller shaft and shorter heel, this boot can dwell in slimmer pants in a way classic boots can’t. The round-toe design, handstitching, and calfskin upper give it that classic boot look, while the butter-soft bovine lining make it just the right fit.

Sizing

Tecovas built custom-made lasts to fit true to U.S. shoe sizes. In other words, you won’t have to size up or size down to find the right fit in Tecovas. Chances are that the size that appears most often in your closet is your true size.

Standard "D" Width
1 ¼” heel
8” heel-to-pullstrap height
8" shaft opening circumference
If you can, try your shoes on in the evening when your feet are the largest.
They should not be too easy to put on at first (you should hear a nice "plop" once your heel falls into place).
A small amount of heel slippage (up to half an inch) is normal and expected until the sole breaks in. Sole damage makes them ineligible for return!
Note: Please try on boots on a carpeted surface until you’ve decided to keep them. Sole damage makes them ineligible for return!

Care

Your boots should last for many years with proper care and resoling. Here are some quick care tips:

Store boots in a dry place with a shoe tree or newspaper inside
Alternate boot-wearing days to allow boots to properly dry out
Clean boots with a damp cloth
Condition boots regularly with a good leather conditioner
Polish boots as desired using a neutral or color-matching cream
Find a good cobbler when the boot needs resoling or a new heel (and keep that well-worn leather)
