Boot Manufacturer
Ferrini
Ferrini USA's official About page says the company was founded in Texas in 1983 and describes it as family-owned and headquartered in Dallas, with its manufacturing team in León, Mexico. The Better Business Bureau and Dallas Market Center list the business in Carrollton, Texas. The range covers men's, women's and kids' western boots in exotic and cowhide leathers.
Why collectors care
Ferrini sells caiman, ostrich, ostrich-leg and American alligator boots alongside printed-cowhide versions of the same looks, which makes it a common first exotic boot.
Printed cowhide and genuine exotic skins sit side by side in the same Ferrini lines, so the product description matters. The Stampede, for example, is sold as a “caiman crocodile cowhide print leather boot.”
Company history
Ferrini USA's official About page states: “Ferrini Boots was founded in Texas in 1983.” It calls the firm “family-owned ... operated and headquartered in Dallas, Texas” and says “our manufacturing team is located in León, Mexico.” No founder is named. LinkedIn gives 1980, so the year is not locked here; the official 1983 is preferred.
The Better Business Bureau file lists 1810 Surveyor Blvd, Carrollton, TX 75006, and Dallas Market Center lists Ferrini USA at the same address. The official homepage speaks of “three generations” of the Ferrini family; no family members are named in the sources consulted.
Retail claims of centuries-old Italian heritage could not be confirmed and are not used here. Recurring men's boot line names include Stampede, Bronco, Roughrider, Wyatt, Morgan and Kai.
