Cowboy boots

@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

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

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.

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

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:

Nice piece, I love that he just called the Governor

Rocky's shop is a few blocks from my house. Things have changed quite a bit since he exchanged gunfire with a couple of guys robbing him outside of it.

My new Lucchese Handmade boots. Roughout calf buck bottoms and oil cal buck shaft. Sitting at the White Stallion dude ranch in Tucson, AZ.

I see you came around on the appeal of the box toe.

And are those fancy designer Wranglers?

[seawolf]

Aye. I got the John Wayne toe. These boots are so comfortable and I'm really pleased with the rough out too. I think it will age very nicely.

The jeans are actually TWXB01 they're a touch too short with These boots but seem to work well on a horse.

[seawolf]

Thanks for all your help btw Chris!

[jdl1279]

Nice choice Zach.. I'm obviously partial to the blunt box/cutter toe myself. Like the toe bug over the roughout too

@seawolf:

Aye. I got the John Wayne toe.

Beautiful.

Thanks gents. They feel better and better everyday too. It's nice to be able to break them in on a ranch.
