El Canelo Tan Leather Ankle Boot

The Fronterizo M4 in Caisson leather, tan — a different model line from the El Paso, in a smooth finish that takes a polish. Tan is the most versatile color El Canelo makes: light enough to stand out against dark denim, warm enough to work with khaki and brown, and it deepens as the leather ages.

Handmade in Mexico with a durable sole. The ankle height keeps it wearable in places a full western boot isn't — under slacks, at the office, out to dinner.

Smooth Caisson leather cleans with a cloth and takes cream polish, which means it's the low-maintenance option next to the buck finishes.

Available in EE width, sizes 6 through 11.
