HISTORY OF OLD GRINGO BOOTS & SHOES
Old Gringo was founded in 2000 by Yan Ferry and Ernie Tarut. They decided to combine Yan’s bootmaking and design skills with Ernie’s 30 years of experience in leather manufacturing to create boots of superior style and quality. This endeavor was named OLD GRINGO.
OLD GRINGO opened its first factory in the fall of 2000, and the first collection of original, vintage and retro styles was available within six months. The boots were well received in the market by traditional western outlets, as well as fashion boutiques, catalogs and shoe stores. The styles bridged the divide between western style and pure fashion.
After two years of ever-increasing demand, Old Gringo factory built a larger factory in Leon, GTO Mexico from which it continues to produce its collection of fashion-forward western wear.
Since 2000, Old Gringo has been focused on a single goal: creating western wear that combines the best materials with the skills of exceptional craftsmen. Beautiful designs and comfort are not accidents. It’s the result of applying a contemporary flair for fashion to a time-honored handcrafted art.
OLD GRINGO'S 110-STEP PRODUCTION & QUALITY PROCESS
One hundred-ten individual steps, performed by skilled craftsmen, are the foundation for the company's products. To meet the rigorous demands of its designs, Old Gringo produces and tans its own leathers in colors, textures and finishes developed by Yan Ferry. After carefully selecting the finest grade of leathers, the leathers undergo a meticulous tanning process. Each of the next steps, including cutting the upper materials, pre-fitting shafts and vamps, fancy stitch design, assembling the insoles, outsoles, last and uppers, the hand-driven lemon pegs and meticulous finishing, are considered critical in the construction of the perfect boot. Every step in the process requires craftsmanship.
Note:
In 2005, Ernie Tarut sold his interest in the factory to Yan Ferry to devote his complete attention to the success and development of the Old Gringo brand in the US and international markets. Yan and Ernie are still partners in the US wholesale operations with plans for future development of new products for their exclusive market.

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough. http://www.sellnikeairmax.com/ LIJ

Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments. I cannot tell you how strong my sundance uggs on sale love for you was back then, when I returned to you on leave in the September, feeling uggs nightfall chestnut sale battered, bruised and fragile. We held each other so tight I thought we would cheap ugg boot store burst. I asked you to marry me the very same day and I whooped with joy when you looked deep into my short black uggs eyes and said "yes" to being my bride.I'm looking at our ugg classic tall purple wedding photo now, the one on our dressing table, next to your jewellery box. I think of how young and innocent we were back then. I remember being on the church classic wool knit striped uggs online uk steps grinning like a Cheshire cat, when you said how dashing and handsome I looked in my uniform. The photo is old and faded now, but when I look at knit rose uggs it, I only see the bright vibrant colors of our youth. I can still remember every detail of the pretty wedding dress your mother made for you, with its cardy ugg moss sale fine delicate lace and pretty pearls. If I concentrate hard enough, I can smell the sweetness of your ugg bailey button on sale wedding bouquet as you held it so proudly for everyone to see. http://www.uggcardyuk.co.uk/UGG-Classic-Short-Boots.html
