Painted Hills Trail — Sagebrush Stingray
Introducing the Painted Hills Trail in Sagebrush — a soft, sun-faded sage green that feels like a walk through the Montana high country. The foot is wrapped in genuine stingray in pale sage, while the tall shaft blooms with a hand-cut floral inlay in olive and cream — wildflowers and leaves climbing the leg in the colours of the open range. This is exotic layered on exotic. The flowers themselves are cut from matching sage stingray, so the beaded, pearl-like texture carries right up through the inlay — leather within leather, all of it done by hand. Stingray gives the whole boot a quiet shimmer that shifts as you move, and because every skin is unique, no two pairs are ever exactly the same. Set on a classic pointed toe and a stacked western heel, with a tall, leg-lengthening shaft, the Painted Hills Trail is pure handcrafted Western style — the meeting point of rare exotic leather, intricate hand-inlay and timeless craftsmanship for anyone who values objects that are made well and only get better with age. Why “Sagebrush”? This colour is the wild sage that grows all over our property and along the trails we hike through the Gallatin Valley. The deer and the wildlife love these bushes, and we find them again along the riverbanks when we fly fish — and the smell, that clean, green, peppery scent of crushed sage, transports me straight into a perfect, peaceful world. Sagebrush is that exact soft green: wild, calming and unmistakably Montana Fun fact: stingray, the toughest leather there is Stingray is one of the most resilient leathers on earth. Its surface is covered in tiny calcified beads — the same skin once known as shagreen, prized for centuries by Japanese samurai to wrap their sword handles because it never slipped and never wore out. It is naturally waterresistant, scratch-resistant and remarkably hard-wearing, which is why a stingray boot is truly a boot for life — it shrugs off everything and only looks better with the years. How to wear it: Sagebrush is the rare statement boot that behaves like a neutral. The soft green sits beautifully with denim, cream, tan, chocolate and white, so it works with everything from worn-in jeans and a tee to a flowing summer dress. Let the stingray texture and the floral inlay be the detail people lean in to notice. From a trail-side lunch to a night in the city, these boots carry a little of the Montana high country with you — calm, grounded and quietly luxurious.
