Cowboy boots

[babyknight]

thanks JSJ and Chris.  and Chris, one day I'd like to get a custom made pair and you'll be the guy I reach out to for advice…

[Chris]

Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

I'm in San Antonio for the World Science Fiction Convention and just got these Lucchese Black Cherry dress boots at Paris Hatters. Awesome service, really comfy out of the box. Better pictures later…

While you're in SA, if you want to get measured for some killer custom boots check out Little's, excellent cobbler.

I'm really pleased with them. I don't have much free time, I'm here for work and heading out to NYC tomorrow, but if I'm back this way I'll go to Little's for sure.

Thanks Nate - the colour is very cool - better in proper light as well. Going to wear them for work as much as possible.

Yep–forgot to include, those are totally badass... Love the toes.

Those are stunning boots. I'm road-tripping cross-country via the southern route in January or February, and I plan to stop in Austin but now I may have to make it up to San Antonio to look for some boots. The funny thing is, I lived in San Antonio for 8 weeks about 10 years ago. If only I knew….

@Chris:

Been meaning to post these for a while, but didn't dump the pics into my Photobucket account until today.  These are my newest acquisition- custom built by Dave Wheeler, one of the finest bootmakers in business today.

Hand hammered steel shank arch support in the instep attached with two rows of wood pegs on each side

Varigated stitching done on vintage single needle machine, one row at a time

Lovely shrunken shoulder bullhide

Fully lined with a reinforced heel slide

Really, really happy with them…

Damn chris, I love these

[michaeljcr]

To go along with my vintage western day, Roebuck Wearmaster boots

[michaeljcr]

Just got a pair of Tony Lama Java Conquistador Shoulder 7951. I wanted something with a rubber sole for the rainy days here in the UK, and they seem great. A bit wider than my Lucchese boots in the same size, 10EE, but fine. I want to wear a thicker sock with them anyway.

That's a small football in the shot as well. I'm not a giant…

They look nice Michael. Wearing my Boulet today, thought I'd already posted them in here but guess not.

[michaeljcr]

They're great - love the toe in particular, and the contrast of colours top and bottom. Really nice tan brown as well.

[jdl1279]

Thanks, it's their cutter toe/heel option and probably my favorite western boot. Haven't had a pair of Boulet I disliked though. They even make a packer that looks pretty nice that I've considered..

I'm pretty sure this is in the Bible as a sign of the apocalypse:
