Let's revive this thread. Please post your cowboy boots. I'll start with the ones I could get a hold of in my mess…
-
Liking the top ones
yeah, they super comfy, courtesy of the "flat" heel and butter soft leather
They look good too. what's funny is that they are so polished where the hem of my jeans rub against them, they are almost two-tone… shiny and not shiny.Although the Heritage shark ones arent as comfy, they have this look, man, I HAVE to wear them once in a while!
So as a result, the ropers dont get much action.I have ordered a pair of elephant boots from Dave Little in San Antonio http://www.davelittleboots.com/default.html
those will be ready this coming Springand a pair of kangaroo from Lee Miller in Austin http://gallery.me.com/carrlyn#gallery
those will be ready in 2 years…Serious serious serious artists, product is all handmade, customized to the max
Lee is the heir of Charlie Dunn's, who was THE legend in the cowboy boot making industry to such an extent that C&W singer wrote a tune about Charlie. Check it out and please take a minute to read the whole story under the video, great stuff

Great collection GB. I have a pair of Lucchese 1883s and recently ordered a pair from the 2000 series that were 40% off in a sale. Not quite as fancy as some of the stuff you posted, which looks extremely nice.

If you ever find yourself in or around Austin, there's a great vintage boot shop about 30-45 minutes away in Wimberly, TX. There's a German lady who runs the place (known as the boot whisperer) and she's got the place jam packed floor to ceiling with all sorts of boots. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area:
Anyway, these are my Lucchese Classics in stingray. This is my first pair of "nice" cowboy boots so I had to get something pretty rowdy. Also, I've found that the Lucchese Classics fit pretty TTS.

Interesting stingrays- I've never seen them with multiple white dots like that, just the usual one larger diamond or occasionally a stripe. Stingray leather is fun.
What brand are those, IJ? Sendra?
-
Looks like a solid pick. Who made them?
I geek out pretty hard when it comes to cowboy boots…
-
Thought so. The pull ends and stitch pattern are pretty distinctive.
You know, Giles, if you ever have Lucchese (or other cowboy boot) related issues, I'm available. As I said, I geek out pretty hard on cowboy boots and Texas is basically the epicenter of the industry.

If you're looking for some, you could probably score these for $500-$600. I got mine from the same guys and I paid $570 shipped.
