Frequently Asked Questions
Los Altos boots are handcrafted by skilled artisans in León, Guanajuato, Mexico. The city of León is widely recognized as the "Leather Capital of the World" due to its long-standing tradition and expertise in both leather tanning and shoemaking. This location ensures that the boots are made using traditional techniques and high-quality materials.
Yes, the leathers used by Los Altos are genuine. The brand is well-known and highly regarded for its commitment to using 100% authentic, high-quality materials. They use a variety of genuine leathers, from traditional cowhide for their shafts and linings to a wide array of authentic exotic skins for the vamps (the front part of the boot). These materials are a key part of what defines the brand's reputation for luxury and craftsmanship.
Yes, Los Altos boots run true to size, but only when compared to other western boots. They tend to have a slightly larger fit than standard sneakers or dress shoes. For the best fit, you should size down by half a size if you are not already a wearer of western boots. For example, if you wear a size 9 in regular shoes, you should order a size 8.5 in these boots. If you already wear western boots, you should stick with the same size.
