I just listed these on Ebay (more pics) but if one of the local lounge lizards here would like them contact me direct and save money!
New, in the box, from 1989.

I tried that Greg, his site hasn't been updated in 12 years and I see no boots on it from them.
I'm not a huge fan of stingray either but these are another level, they be fun to wear with a suit.
Some of you may not be aware but stingray leather, known as shagreen, is the traditional material...
I have this photo I found online a while back, can't remember where, but cannot find out any info about the boots, anyone have a lead? I tried a Google Image search, no luck.
This is my second pair of boots, I imagine I got these in the early 1970's. They haven't been worn in about 30 years, they are just too soft, but I keep them around, like old friends. They won't stand up at all, I have soda bottles inside for the picture, they flop like sweat socks.
They're...
Has anyone heard of a maker, Hilton Allan of Houston? They may also be a retailer. Googling the name brings up one hit, another pair on Pinterest.
I just got in a pair and they have many of the features that some of my custom made boots have. Each one at a time may not mean anything but taken...
Thanks, I believe they're the same style 1234 as Bob's from posts #4202 & 4235 of this thread (below), though his looked like they were worn once and put back in the box. Mine were worn a little, but not much.
I know some of you have nice work by Caboots, do you feel they run true to size?
I'm looking at a pair which the seller listed as a size 10 D but there's no such stamping inside the boot. There is a four digit number, 9068, which I was told by Caboots translates to 11D. It's nothing like the...
Pretty comfortable too, I wore them down too, I wore them down to Manhattan last night.
When I first tried them on they were almost hard having been unworn so long, I wondered if they would ever start to mold to my feet. Then I remembered reading on a boot makers website, now sure which, that...
Although most of you seem to be attracted to more exotic boots, perhaps you might find these of interest. I found them on Ebay and got them for $30 delivered. The are white label Justins, althought the labels are almost worn away, and I contacted their Historical liason who told me they're most...
Here's a question for you....
Many times while cruising eBay for older boots I see pairs of Tony Lama boots that have heel caps on which you can still read "Tony Lama". I thought this meant the boots were relatively unused but the rest of the boot looks more worn than they should be for original...
I bought my Vanson Rock n' Roll 20 years ago. I was up at the factory in MA, everything had nickel hardware except one jacket with brass. Combo looked so good I ordered it for my R&R, a classic look. Only problem, the jacket is a 38 and now I'm a 42, but determinedly working my way back to...
I hate driving with a full length coat so I take it off and freeze until the car warms up.
I wore my 1973 for the first time tonight, these coats are the perfect compromise of length for driving and warmth.
I just hit the button to order the Bicks from Amazon, got the whole kit plus exotic formula, protect the investment.
I just noticed on my Nocona that 2 of the lemonwood pegs have fallen out, reason for concern? I'm not worried about them falling apart, rather water getting in.
