      @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.

      Gonna try to go next week. Need a pr of black/black cherry. :). Or black roughout.

          Not nearly as detailed as some of the boots in this post but I love my Red Wing 1155's. very comfortable and for my first pair of cowboy boots I think they are well priced.

            @deanclean - love the RW Pecos style boots.  Are those the American version?  I have tried them on in the RW store and can agree that they are super comfy and a great blend of western and workwear.

              Yes these are made in USA. They weren't available where I live in Canada so drove almost 3 hours to the states to go to a redwing store to get them. Worth the trip. The border agent was a little confused as why I would do that, but we had a laugh!

                  I bought these boots as a last hurrah before moving away from Texas and heading to Alabama more than nearly 6 years ago. The roads were iced over, but I was leaving the next day so I went to the Justin factory and bought them direct.

                  They have served me well and continue to perform and last great.  I've been super surprised at how long the leather sole has lasted and although I swore I was always a round or snip toe fan, these square toe Justin boots are beyond comfortable.

                        Yep, Paul Bond makes quality boots.  Bond himself was something of a legend; he started making boots while he was working as a professional rodeo cowboy and just kept doing it.  He went in to work most every day up into his 80s.  I'm not familiar with who's been running things since his death in 2012, though.

                          There was this piece on the Sunday news about this guy who makes cowboy boots in Texas. They go for over $2000 each. The pair he made for Arnold Schwarzenegger are really cool.

                            Dave's a good guy.  It'll be sad when he retires.

                              Idk why he doesn't train somebody else. Seems like a loss.

                                My sentiments exactly, but he hasn't taken on an apprentice for probably twenty years, and believe me, people ask regularly.

                                  Which one is your favourite… and would you wear it? 😉
                                  I'd probably go for that crazy python one 😃

                                  Thanks for the info, might be in Phoenix in a few months, so just wondering if it's worth visiting his shop, it's over two hours and half drive.

                                        I've heard that it's a great place to visit.  In fact, somewhere in this thread, I posted a link showing a bit of the Bond barn.  As for whether it's worth the five hour round trip through some of the more bleak landscape that Arizona has to offer, I can't say…
