Cowboy boots

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

@Giles:

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 Spring

and 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.

Holy shit I like those - specs please….

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?

[Giles]

Because I love the evo one gets on rough out or suede,  I have decided on these…..

[Chris]

Looks like a solid pick.  Who made them?

I geek out pretty hard when it comes to cowboy boots…

[Giles]

Those are Luchesse - the only ones I do…..

[Chris]

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.

[Giles]

Chris that is great thanks.  I'll take you up on that when trigger pulling time comes around…G

They're nearly 20 yrs old mexican handmade ones. They might be La Gran Botas but can\t remember from the top of my head. Def. not Sendras.

@Giles:

They're #7 toe, #3 heel size 10.5D.  They also have CB9873, D700612 and L0611 printed on the inside, not sure what those mean though…

[Giles]

Thanks Clint

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.

I haven't worn cowboy boots since the 90's, but I really like the idea of getting these:

Any thoughts, anyone?

try something like these

[michaeljcr]

Actually, that's pretty much what my last pair looked like! Not as nice as those though.
