A Legacy Rooted in Nocona, Texas
The story of Fenoglio Boot Company is a tale of resilience, family, and the undying spirit of the American cowboy. Nocona, Texas, has been a cradle of cowboy culture and bootmaking, notably marked by the lives of H.J. “Daddy Joe” Justin and his daughter, Enid Justin “Miss Enid,” founders of Justin Boots and Nocona Boot Company, respectively. Following the acquisition of Nocona Boot Company by the Justin brothers in 1990, the Fenoglio family, who have called Nocona home since 1886, took up the mantle to continue Nocona’s bootmaking legacy.
The Fenoglio Commitment: Excellence in Every Stitch
Today, the Fenoglio Boot Company honors Miss Enid’s legacy while incorporating modern updates to meet contemporary needs. With a skilled team, some of whom boast over 40 years of bootmaking experience, Fenoglio ensures each pair of boots meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. “There’s Nothing Finer than Fenoglio” is more than a motto—it’s a commitment to continue Nocona’s storied tradition of producing the finest Texas-made boots.
In embracing the past and looking to the future, Fenoglio Boot Company not only preserves the rich tradition of Texas bootmaking but also redefines it for the next generation. As they craft each pair of boots with precision and passion, Fenoglio invites you to be part of a legacy that’s as enduring as the American West itself.

A Meeting of Friends and Traditions
Our journey into the heart of cowboy culture and the storied tradition of bootmaking wouldn’t be complete without mentioning a memorable encounter that ties it all together. At the 49th Annual Cowboy Downhill in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the Cowboy Lifestyle Network (CLN) and Wrangler Team had the privilege of spending quality time with Tony Fenoglio, a key figure behind the Fenoglio Boot Company.
This time spent together was not only a testament to the enduring friendships forged in the Western community but also highlighted the connections that bind the legacy of Fenoglio boots to icons of the cowboy way of life. Among these icons is “Mo Brings Plenty” from the hit television series, Yellowstone, who not only proudly wears Fenoglio boots but is also a good friend of the brand and Cowboy Lifestyle Network.
This blend of tradition, friendship, and the shared values of the cowboy spirit truly encapsulates what Fenoglio Boot Company stands for—a deep-rooted history, a commitment to quality, and a community that spans beyond the dusty trails of Texas. I am honored to have met such incredible people who share the same desire to keep the Cowboy Lifestyle alive and well.
In wrapping up our exploration of Fenoglio Boot Company, it becomes clear that the boots they craft are more than just footwear; they are a symbol of a rich legacy, a nod to timeless craftsmanship, and a bridge connecting the past with the present. Through encounters like the one in Steamboat Springs, we’re reminded that the essence of cowboy culture and its traditions continue to thrive, fostered by the bonds of friendship and a shared respect for quality that stands the test of time.
