The Ursidae-Patriot – Rough Rider is a lightweight barefoot boot, meticulously handcrafted in the USA and engineered for peak performance across diverse environments. Crafted from the same premium Crazy Horse leather as the original Patriot, it features a unique rough-out finish, providing a rugged, matte aesthetic. This distinctive finish not only enhances the boot's visual appeal but also significantly boosts its scuff resistance and offers a naturally textured grip. The boot's construction utilizes a flexible Blake stitch, a testament to its long-term durability and rebuildability, ensuring a lasting investment. This design delivers an authentic, grounded, and minimalist feel without sacrificing protection or comfort. Key features include a zero-drop sole, a wide toe box, and a highly flexible structure, all working in harmony to promote natural foot movement and proper anatomical alignment. Whether you're engaged in rigorous training, exploring challenging hiking trails, or spending long hours on your feet, this barefoot boot supports your body's natural mechanics. This durable, functional, and unapologetically raw rough rider is purpose-built to match your intensity, no matter how demanding your activities.

All of our American-made boots backed by a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials or craftsmanship for the life of the product. This includes issues like faulty stitching, hardware failure, or construction flaws — but it does not cover damage caused by neglect, misuse, or normal wear and tear. Resoling is not covered, as outsole wear is expected over time and part of regular boot ownership. Like a vehicle, these boots require routine care — including regular cleaning and oiling — to keep the leather strong and healthy. Leather that cracks, dries out, or breaks down due to lack of care is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not covered under this warranty. If you believe your boots qualify for a warranty claim, please contact us.
