Tanner Mark Ostrich Volcano Turquoise - TMX208116

Turquoise ostrich is the boot people stop and ask about. The Volcano turquoise finish takes genuine quill ostrich and colors it a deep blue-green you simply don't see on a boot rack — the quill bumps read against the color rather than blending into brown or black. This is the pair you buy when you already own the traditional colors and want something that gets noticed at a dance or a rodeo.

Ostrich earns its price on two counts: the distinctive quill pattern — each raised bump is a follicle where a feather grew — and the fact that it's among the softest and most durable exotic hides available. It breaks in faster than cowhide and resists cracking for decades rather than years.

The Volcano treatment gives the turquoise depth and tonal variation across the surface instead of flat dyed color, which is what keeps a bold shade from looking artificial. A complementary shaft carries traditional Western stitching, and the square toe gives generous room across the foot.

How these are built. This is Tanner Mark's Black Label construction: the leather outsole is set with lemon wood pegs and brass tacks rather than glued, a steel shank runs through the arch for support, and a three-quarter double-stitched welt joins upper to sole. The shaft is lined in calfskin, the heel is stacked leather, and the insole is comfort cushioned — which means any bootmaker can resole them years from now.

Because ostrich is a natural hide, quill size and spacing vary from pair to pair — that variation confirms the leather is genuine.
