H.J. Justin left Lafayette, Indiana in 1879 to start a new life in Spanish Fort, Texas. Initially a boot repairman, H.J. soon began his own boot company working out of his home. In 1908, John and Earl came to work for their father, and the company was renamed H.J. Justin and Sons. In 1968, the company made a deal with Acme Brick to form Justin Industries. Nocona Boot Company became part of Justin Industries when John Jr. purchased the controlling shares from his aunt, Enid Justin, in 1981. Three years later, Chippewa Shoe Company was added to the Justin family of brands. In 1990, after years of intense rivalry, Justin Industries purchased competitor Tony Lama Boots. In August of 2000, Justin Boots was purchased by Berkshire Hathaway, managed by Warren Buffett. With strong financial backing, a lasting tradition of quality, and a talented management team, Justin Boots today is stronger than ever.
