History
Nocona Boots was founded in Nocona, Texas, in 1925 by Enid Justin. She was the daughter of Justin Boots founder H.J. "Daddy Joe" Justin, who had begun boot-making in Spanish Fort, Texas in 1879. Cowboys ordered his custom-fit boots, which were ready to pick up after their cattle drives.[2] In 1887, the railroad came through Nocona, and the boot factory moved there to take advantage of better shipping.
Enid started working in her father's shop at the age of 12 in 1906, where she remained for the next 12 years.
