In 1955 Richland, PA had an empty building
at the corner of Curtis and Apple Streets. The H.H. Brown Shoe Company
purchased the building in Richland because they needed space and facilities
in the Reading area. The Richland facility was named the Richland Shoe
Company and began production of cowboy boots and work footwear. Western
Boots had become the majority of boots produced, and the Richland plant
was the FIRST to manufacture western Safety Toe boots, and were the
first boots to pass the now standard Class 75 ANSI standards for Safety
footwear. When computerized fancy stitch machines hit the shoe market,
the line expanded into the Dress Western boot business. In 1993, the
name was changed to Double-H Boots to reflect the company heritage
of H.H. Brown. All our footwear is designed to make your job easier.
Each style is Built to Last, using the finest leathers, materials and
outsoles.
