Cowboy Boots

[Bushman]

Absolutely wore my cowboy boots everywhere as a kid. I stopped wearing them in my teens after I couldn't find a pair that didn't pinch my toes.

A proper fitting boot won't pinch the toes--even roach killers--just sayin
But you may have to go custom to get it.....

These are really nice!

What are your thoughts on a belt matching?

You have an impressive collection, do you try and color/leather match at all (same as dress shoes)?

Or is there more of an tolerance with boots?

Not wearing them today, but wore these vintage (not sure how old?) Tony Lama boots over the weekend.

Robert, are those TL's the white cloth label or black label?

They don't have a sewn in label.

Thanks for the complement. As far as belt matching goes I just pair the boots with either a black or brown western styled belt. I only have two and with so many variable shades of brown/cognac/tan and so forth, it would almost be impossible to match every pair of boots, not to mention the dark red pair or black cherry elephants I have. Also, I exclusively wear jeans with my boots so it's much more casual than what I would do with dress shoes. (I think I have some.) I've seen some match belts and boots with the same color and hide. Something I'm not a big fan of.

I am on the hunt for a nice Ranger style belt though.

Vintage Tony Lama boots. If I remember correctly, I think @Bamaboots helped me determine these are made of Caribou and are from the 1960s.

Ray Jones, probably my favorite toe bug.

Perhaps these boots aren't vintage enough, but I got 'em for Christmas. They're tan mad dog goat Lucchese Since 1883 (brown label -- made in USA). I had that same style once upon a time but with narrow snip toes. I didn't like the way it looked; I was a die-hard medium round toe guy. But I decided to try something different this time, and I must admit I really like this style of toe -- not round toe but not narrow snip toe either and certainly not outright square toe.

I'm totally a fan of super pointy toes and of the narrow snip toe, but I have to admit I like these a whole lot. Definately a vintage shape to them.

You all are a bad influence. These 2001 Paul Bond boots are on their way to me.

I finally remembered to write the folks at Paul Bond to get the specs on these.

Built for Robert Riddle of Myrtle Beach, SC 2001.
Style 904-The Nogales
Top & foot – Dark Brown Spanish calf
#3 heel (1-5/8”)
2D ½ D Toe
14” shaft with a shallow scallop

I'm amazed at how well they fit.

Don't know who the maker is, HJ but they do a great job on their pinched roses.

Bob, that is fine pair of boots and Spanish calf is a nice leather.

Every time I see a pair of red and black boots I'm reminded of these. Made by a guy that I think used to be a manager ar Paul Bond's, Spyder Daly. These came out of his Arizona shop, Grumpy ba***rd Boots. Apologies if I've posted them before.

Not my boots but I saw the model when they were being sold by one of the big Texas chains, now out of business. They were made & sold under private label but I always thought they were being made by Sendra in Spain. Sendra was making some quality boots at the time.

Spyder was the manager for about a yr or so. He followed Bob McLean as I recall, & left to go back to cowboying. There was also a young woman manager around that time. I don't recall exactly when she was manager.

As far as I know they don't do direct sales but from the website Mike pointed you to, I think they have their retail links.
