        @Chris:

        Now that you live in San Antonio, Mike, you really should make a trip to Little's Boot Company.  They have a really impressive showroom filled with custom pairs they've done over the years.  It's kinda overwhelming, actually.

        and they are GREAT people

              I have about 9 - 12 pairs of boots, I'll put up a picture soon. 3 are Luchesse, others are usual brands, mostly which I can wear going through TSA precheck without taking them off.

                    I was looking for a classic pair in calf leather initially, but size availability  dictated otherwise.
                    Very happy with these in any case  😘
                    Already thinking of a next pair… probably tooled leather, I can see how far this can go  😉

                        Spoken like someone who experienced this as many times if not more than I have  😉

                        This pair comes from Heritage Boots, http://heritageboot.com/ and is this one specifically:

                        http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/cognac-caiman-boot/

                        Originally I had planned on this one:

                        http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/blood-simple-2/

                        But they didn't have my size.

                        Another contender was this pair:

                        http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/the-triad-boot/

                        But alas no size either, at least not for now. They do have me on the list to contact when they make more of them in my size 😃

                            Interesting stitch pattern.  It's unusual to see one that's asymmetrical.  I'd like to see more of it, if you don't mind sharing.

                              Thanks! It was a bit of a gamble as there are so many makers out there 😃

                              Sure! Would be curious to hear your thoughts on this, your posts in this thread have been very informative to me 🙂

                              Here are more pics, do let me know if you need one taken from specific angle or position

                                Very nice boots - I like the hybrid toe - nice balance between round / snip and square

                                  Thanks for that recommendation, I had the chance to visit his shop and will be getting a pair from him on my next trip to the US. We found the last that suits my feet best. 🙂

                                  I was wondering what that toe was, as it didn't seem to fit any of the toes of the boots I saw at boot barns. It's called a french toe apparently.

                                  And this company seems to be making something similar:
                                  http://www.caboots.com/toe_options.php

                                  While we're on it, anybody has any experience with Champion Attitude Boot Co -CABOOTS?
                                  They certainly seem to have an impressive selection 🙂

                                      Overall, their boots are pretty good quality for the price.  I have a few pairs from them.  I'm hesitant to recommend them, however, since the last couple of times I ordered, a few things went wrong.  They were very reasonable about fixing things, but the experience soured me a bit on them.  That said, it's been over five years since my last purchase, so they may have ironed out the kinks in their QC by now.

                                      Thanks for the extra pictures, by the way. 😉

                                        I am thinking I need to find a way to include a visit to Texas next time I get sent to the US, it would be so much fun!

                                          @Red Devil - a texas trip is a must - great food, cool scenery, fantastic music and, of course, a wide selection of western style boots. I'm from Fort Worth, so I have to suggest visiting the Stockyards. Swing by Leddy's to get some custom boots made, sip a margarita in the Joe Ts garden and enjoy a garlic stuffed filet from Lonesome dove…

                                          Almost makes me want to drive the 700 miles home now and do it all myself haha
