    Exotic is a catchall term, not an explicitly defined category.  Basically, it means "more expensive"and encompasses everything other than cow, goat and maybe buffalo.  Ostrich is super common, so you should have no problems buying it, nor should there be any legal restrictions.

      Thanks!
      The variety is staggering, I am already thinking that maybe 2 boots is not such a bad idea 😃
      One with a rounded toe and another one with a square one. Also one of these should be in Ostrich… I can see how this starts

            Waiting to see if my trip to the US is confirmed, as that will have a big impact on what I get

                  Any of you guys have experience with J.B. Hill? Im looking to get into my first pair of westerns and was really interested to see that they use shell cordovan for vamps.

                      Thanks Mike! Im pretty curious how their quality stacks up. Most pieces i see run about a grand, really like the stitching on this one.

                        I don't have any personal experience with them, but J.B. Hill makes nice boots.  They've been in business in El Paso for 15-20 years now.  I think you'd be getting well made boots.  I'm intrigued by the cordovan option, which is rare in cowboy boots.

                          I concur, J.B. Hill are a well made boot

                                        I have several pairs made by Dave Little in San Antonio

                                        http://www.littlesboots.com/our-boots

                                        1 magnificent pair made by Lee Miller from Texas Tradition in Austin. so beautiful I am leery of wearing them!

                                        they dont have a website but if you google them, you will see what they make.

                                        https://www.google.com/search?q=lee+miller+boots+texas+traditions&safe=off&rlz=1C5CHFA_enFR583FR583&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_vpaRn6LLAhWJlxoKHZ1cDEMQsAQIMQ&biw=1186&bih=575

                                        I also have a couple pairs from Heritage in Austin

                                        http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/

                                        Heritage makes ready to wear while Lee and Dave make bespoke boots. Lee takes more than a year to deliver, while Dave takes about 3-4 months.

                                        Believe me, the wait is well worth it. So if you happen to be in San Antonio or Austin, do take the time to visit their stores and prepared to be totally amazed and forget about Lucchese.

                                          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.
