    I had a wonderful coworker who gave me all of her late husband’s boots, most of them worn very lightly if at all. One pair was a $500 pair of Lucchese boots that he wore to get married in. All together there were about 15 pairs. I haven’t had to buy a pair of boots in about 17 years!

      Lucky son of a gun. I’m a young man who wants to start a small collection. In Texas, I believe a man should own atleast one pair of nice boots.

    The most expensive boots I know of are made from lawyer skin. They cost $1500 an hour to wear.

      The people who bring you these foolish demonic comments are the same one who say stupid things like if they can bring suit and have workers compensation they get double recovery. First W/c only pays 2/3rds of the average weekly wage-you agree to take that pay reduction? Next if you recover workers comp gets paid back. Maybe boots should be made from the butt skin of tort reformers or lawyer haters so their ability to think which is impaired could be taken away. Certainly they don’t use grey matter from the brain. I dare you to look at the photos of the oil workers burned at the XTO Ryan well and then say W/C is a valid compensation for their lives!

      You can if you buy a pair @ Rolling Stone Leather Store in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. You can get for $250.00, as good or better, quality crafted boots that would cost $1000.00 here in the states. If you're going to Mexico, buy them there or have someone hook you up who is.

    I have a ton of boots and only 2 or 3 fit so good that I can wear them for most of the day without soreness. I know some people say otherwise but you have to tolerate boots that you wouldn't do for regular shoes. For example you can't run in them and they get very hot in the summer. But I love them and can't get enough of them.

  • @Salv
    @Salv 9 лет назад +6

    I've had my custom boots for a near 5 years and Im just having my boots resoled because I stepped on a damn nail and it's said when that leather sole is ripped, but im glad i still have the person that made my boots to resole so hopefully i get them within 2 weeks since business is busy

    • @TexHoss1
      @TexHoss1 5 лет назад

    In 1970, I saved enough money to buy some sharkskin boots. After walking with them a few days, they were more comfortable than tennis shoes. I wore those boots for 5 years. Had them re-soled twice. Since then, I have not found a pair of boots nearly as comfortable. It sounds like I have to go visit Mike Vaughn.

  • @hoplophobiadoc

    I lived in Texas back in the 90's. I got me a pair of $250.00 boots. It was okay for six months. Then folks at work told me that I walked with a gait. That's when I noticed that my right boot was a little lose and funny. It made me walk like a gunslinger.

    As long as the heels and soles don't fall off within a month like 99% of every boot, shoe, and sneaker on the planet . . . I'm a happy guy. Of course, paying the guy's mortgage payment for the month for a pair of boots is nuts too.
    But I like this guy. If you're going to pay over $200 for a set of boots you may as well go all the way and INVEST in your boots. This is the first time I have ever seen where a boot could be made truly CUSTOM fit to each foot. THIS IS THE WAY TO GO . . .

      How often do you wear those boots that last 10 years, once a month? I can barely get a year out of them

      Before I retired, I wore Justin, work boots, and they would last from 3 to 5 years, working 8 to 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week.

    I have to go back to having my Boots Custom made again. Nobody sells Cowboy Boots with the Traditional Toes anymore. Everything is those Duck Bill Shovel toes.

    The best boots I have ever owned were Larry Mahans and now they don't make them anymore. I think they were made in Mexico and are probably still being made but under what brand I have no idea.

      That's a great idea, so I'm going to go west and buy custom cowboy boots then go east and buy a southwester and then I will be a saltwater cowboy. Lol.

    Cuadra are by far the best boots out there, the styles are amazing and the quality is the best.
    If you ever travel to Mexico you can buy them for a lot less than you buy in the US.
