Ponder Boot Company · History

History

Ponder Boot Company is a Fort Worth, Texas retailer that makes its own boots, with a second workshop by appointment in Ponder, Texas, about thirty miles north. Texas Monthly's June 2002 roundup of bootmakers did not name an owner or bench maker for the shop.

The article listed specialties in American ostrich and soft-tanned alligator, with prices starting at $600 and a turnaround of five to six weeks. Customers named there — Ronald Reagan (four pairs), George H. W. Bush, and five Texas governors — are a reputation note rather than documented pairs.
