Founder, Lizzy Chesnut, sits down with Wall Street Journal at the Fort Worth Showroom to discuss career reboot, starting her own business and more. "When the price of oil plummeted, Lizzy Chesnut Bentley knew it was time to go all-in on another Texas tradition." After graduating in 2012 she moved to Houston to work at Halliburton as a financial analyst.

One element of corporate culture irked her, though: She couldn’t find a pair of cowboy boots that worked with her buttoned-up office wardrobe....

Dress it up or down, with Solids or Prints  When first added to the collection, our Lover’s Lane boot was intended to be a flirty, feminine statement for spring and summer — in the perfect shade of pink. But quickly we realized it had so much more potential. Pretty in Pink  Then there are the Heart Boot in pink that pair well with almost anything.

Why we started CITY Boots? The simple story is we couldn’t find what we wanted in quality and looks, so we decided to make them ourselves.

We make tall top boots with a deep-v that flatter and elongate the leg and we keep it simple from a design standpoint so you can be sure to have something that won’t go out of style. We...

When I decided to branch out beyond boots into other wearable art collections,...
