Jack, i think I said I am “generally not a fan of red boots”. I would make an exception to that for a pair of Firewalkers or the Sorrells Greg posted earlier, even though I’m well past the stage of trying to make new friends every night.I probably don't have a pic of mine but back in the day if you wanted to "make new friends" on a nightly basis you needed a pair of TL Firewalkers.

A man can never have enough friends.Jack, i think I said I am “generally not a fan of red boots”. I would make an exception to that for a pair of Firewalkers or the Sorrells Greg posted earlier, even though I’m well past the stage of trying to make new friends every night.
I think you are right on. It looks like the tops were tooled and stitched before all that colorful dye was applied.A question. Of the boots I posted above, I know Sorrell's are inlaid pieces but what about the Riff Raff pair. He's pretty well thought of as a leather tooler/carver, @Desert dog may smack me around for my ignorance, but his boots appear to me to be a pretty good sized panel, tooled, colored and inlaid as one piece in the shaft and probably not colored until the boots were turned.
Thoughts?
One of my brothers has that same philosophy. When my wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary he said he didn’t see what the big deal was, he had been married 30 years too. It just took him 6 wives to get there.A man can never have enough friends.
Like the old saying goes, "I've been happily married for 15 yrs, 15 out of 30 ain't bad!"One of my brothers has that same philosophy.

TL Firewalkers.

Hard to tell from pics but I don't see much depth of a carving to them. I've wondered if such colored tops aren't pattern stamped as flat panels, then painted? Sort of like painting between the lines?It looks like the tops were tooled and stitched before all that colorful dye was applied.

These by Pascal Davayet are stunning.

This makes me wonder WTF?Saw these on the instagram the other day. On close inspection I'm pretty sure they're tooled panels inlaid into the shaft. I'm a fan of the heel stitching he puts on his boots.
