What is Bootstock?
Bootstock is a footwear brand based in Rotterdam. It was founded in 2020 by Mariska van Pelt, who started it after she could not find a cowboy boot she liked for her daughter. The brand therefore began as a personal search for a well-made, characterful boot rather than as a trend-led collection.
Products and positioning
The brand makes cowboy boots for girls and women. It takes the traditional western shape and adds colour, embroidery and playful details. The boots are made from 100% cow leather, processed in a Dutch tannery, with Goodyear welted construction and hand-finished stitching. The brand lists 14 styles, among them Buttercream, Manhattan, Bobby, Lily, Bloom, Hearts and several Santiag designs.
Distribution
Besides its own online presence, the brand is listed by retailers including Smallable and SSENSE.
Why it matters
Bootstock is a small founder-led label that built a niche on a single product type, the cowboy boot, and offers it in children's as well as women's sizes.
