About McRae Industries/Dan Post Boots
McRae Industries was founded in 1959 by Branson J. McRae. McRae Industries’ Footwear division has provided quality combat boots to the men and women serving in the U. S. Army for over 40 years.
In 1996 McRae Industries purchased American West Trading Company, a manufacturer and seller of a variety of western boots. During the 2002 to 2006 time period, the array of McRae Industries’ western boot products was significantly enhanced by the acquisition of several popular brand names – Dingo, Dan Post and Laredo. The company’s name was changed to the Dan Post Boot Company to more closely identify our products in the western boot market. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Dan Post brand is synonymous with “Handcrafted Cushion Comfort.” Crafted with the finest exotic skins and premium leathers, Dan Post employs technologically advanced materials to ensure that your boots are comfortable from the first step.
