More
about Justin Footwear: The Justin Boots story
began in 1879, when H.J. Justin left Lafayette,
Indiana to start a new life in Spanish Fort, Texas.
Initially a boot repairman, H.J. soon began his
own boot company working out of his home. When
a railroad was built in Nocona, Texas in 1889,
H.J. moved his family and business there to capitalize
on the bigger market opportunity. In 1908, John
and Earl came to work for their father, and the
company was renamed H.J. Justin and Sons. In 1910,
Justin boots were sold in 26 states, Canada, Mexico,
and Cuba for $11 a pair.
John,
Earl and Avis took over the business after their
father's death in 1918. In 1925, the brothers
moved the company headquarters to Fort Worth.
In 1948, John Justin, Jr. purchased controlling
interest in the company. It wasn't long before
H.J. Justin & Sons was growing again. In 1968,
the company made a deal with Acme Brick, another
Fort Worth company with pioneering roots, to form
Justin Industries.
Nocona
Boot Company became part of Justin Industries
when John Jr. purchased the controlling shares
from his aunt, Enid Justin, in 1981. Three years
later, Chippewa Shoe Company was added to the
Justin family of brands. And in 1990, Justin Industries
purchased competitor Tony Lama Boots after years
of intense rivalry. In August of 2000, Justin
Boots was purchased by Berkshire Hathaway, managed
by Warren Buffet. With strong financial backing,
a lasting tradition of quality, and a talented
management team, Justin Boots today is stronger
than ever.
