I grew up in Butte, Montana—about 50 miles from our forever home in Harrison. In high school, I was either playing sports or I was working on art projects. I took every art class my school offered and continued by enrolling in art classes in college. When I cut the first pair of boots, I felt inspired and began ordering more boots for the purpose of redesign. When people would compliment my creations it validated me and my belief that creating art is my path. What started as a hobby in our garage is now my passion and with the love and support of my family and community—it thrives.

When I am not working in the shop, you can find me at a sporting event for one or all of our four kids, helping Tucker with ranch duties (in Canty Boots®) or spending time with loved ones near and far.

Come and see us sometime. If you haven't joined the Canty community—we want you! If you are a Canty lover, we thank you.

XOXOXO, Nikki

Months after the first pair of Canty Boots® was created, it was time to give them a name and make a go at the boot business. Nikki was coming up short on finding a name that embodied the spirit of the boots, so on a family vacation she asked her husband, Tucker, what he thought these cool boots should be called. Without hesitation he replied, “Look up the word Canty in the dictionary.”

By definition, Canty means lively, upbeat and in good spirits.

Canty Boots®, symbolizes a cheerful energy that celebrates individuality; a spirit that transforms tradition and allows all women, of all ages, to express themselves and feel beautiful. The word perfectly describes our bright, happy boots! Thanks, Tucker!
