Home of Preloved Cowboy Boots - Giving boots a second life, a great alternative to new!

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

ABOUT US:
We are a newly formed husband and wife owned company (August 2022) selling preloved cowboy boots at local flea markets, our website, and other sales channels such as Ebay, Poshmark, and Mercari.  Our efforts in recycling these usable and unique type of footwear saves them from the landfills and gives them a second life.

THE PROBLEM:
With inflation, consumers are searching for ways to stretch every dollar. Just a quick search for cowboy boots brings up  brand name prices from $100-$300 per pair.  This price can be even more with more high end brands. Most consumers we have spoken to tell us they do not want to spend that much on a pair of boots they might wear occasionally, like parties or certain seasons. Although we have a few western stores that sell new cowboy boots, we have not seen one that specializes in preloved (yes, preowned) cowboy boots.

THE SOLUTION:

We can provide a great alternative to those who want boots but can not or choose not to spend a great deal of money on new.  We can offer boots to consumers as low as $10 at local markets which is a great alternative to new pricing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The main use of the needed funding (10-25k) is for additional inventory that will sustain us for the foreseeable future.  We would like to grow our online presence through our website and other sales channels mentioned previously. Possible expansion of our current flea market space will be considered going into the new year. We are also looking into other ways to eventually upcycle some of the cowboy boots that are not fit to sell into coasters or jewelry.

This is a new adventure we are extremely excited to take on and  we would love to talk to you further about this opportunity.
