SEVERAL PHOTOS OF THE C. H. HYER BOOT COMPANY
In 1875 Charles Hyer and Sons established the Hyer Boot Company in Olathe, Kansas. By the early 1900’s Hyer had become America’s largest handmade boot manufacturer. Hyer boots were the 1st to introduce the pointed toe, high slanted heal and the high scallope. Billy The Kid , along with Jesse James, Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Teddy Roosevelt, Loretta Lynn and Marilyn Monroe all wore Hyer boots. The last Hyer boots were made in the 1980’s closing due to fiscal problems. However, the brand was relaunched in 2022 and now sold nationwide by over 300 retailers.
