Founding Story
Fontleroy was born out of a personal quest for boots that truly fit. The founder, frustrated by the limited options available for women with wide calves, recognized a gap in the market and set out to create a solution. What began as a search for stylish, well fitting boots soon evolved into a broader mission to redefine inclusivity within the footwear industry.
Drawing on her own experiences and the stories of countless women facing similar challenges, the founder envisioned a brand where comfort, style, and self-expression are accessible to all. With a commitment to quality and luxury, Fontleroy develops handcrafted boots made with premium materials, ensuring each pair offers both elegance and durability. This focus on craftsmanship and material excellence is at the heart of the brand’s promise to deliver truly luxurious footwear. The journey from concept to reality was shaped by a dedication to thoughtful design and the belief that every woman deserves boots that fit both her body and her sense of style.
Fontleroy’s beginnings are rooted in a desire to challenge the status quo and celebrate individuality. Today, the brand continues to grow, guided by the same passion and purpose that inspired its founding, offering high-quality, handcrafted luxury boots that empower women to feel confident.

-
Yvonne founded Fontleroy after her own search for a luxury, genuine leather boot that actually fit her calf came up empty. A full time executive in the oil and gas industry by day, she brought the same standards for precision and quality to her second venture: designing boots exclusively for the wide calf, without compromising on craftsmanship or style.
Every Fontleroy boot is handcrafted from genuine calfskin leather, built for a fit most luxury brands overlook entirely. Yvonne is Fontleroy's first customer, and every design decision starts with the same question she once couldn't get answered: does this actually fit?
Fontleroy is based in Fort Collins, Colorado, and is self funded, growing on its own terms.
