About UNO Boots & Collectables

Some people collect art. Some collect cars. We collect boots — and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Welcome to UNO Boots & Collectables, a passion project born from a deep love of exotic western boots and the extraordinary craftsmanship behind them. We're not just a boot store. We're a community of collectors, enthusiasts, and people who understand that a truly great pair of boots is a work of art.

The Story Behind UNO

My name is Tony Patiño, and I've been obsessed with exotic western boots for as long as I can remember. There's something about the weight of a hand-stitched alligator boot, the texture of genuine ostrich, or the rare beauty of a vintage pre-ban pair that no other piece of footwear can match. These aren't just boots — they're history, heritage, and craftsmanship all wrapped into one.

I started UNO Boots & Collectables because I wanted to share that passion with people who feel the same way. I wanted to build a place where serious collectors and first-time buyers alike could find boots that are truly special — boots that tell a story.

Handmade by Artisan Makers

Every pair we carry is handmade by master artisan bootmakers who pour decades of skill and tradition into every stitch, every welt, and every last. These craftsmen don't cut corners — and neither do we.

From alligator and crocodile to ostrich, python, elephant, hippo, and bullfrog, our exotic leathers are sourced with care and crafted with intention. We also specialize in vintage and pre-ban boots — rare finds for the serious collector who knows exactly what they're looking for.

Built for Collectors

UNO is a collector-first store. We understand the thrill of finding a pair you've been hunting for, the pride of adding something rare to your collection, and the joy of wearing something that most people will never own. Whether you're building a collection or looking for your first pair of exotics, we're here to help you find exactly what you need.
