That would depend on a number of factors but your budget is where you have to start.Any cowboy boots suggestions?
The vamps are Shrunken Bull shoulder. I like the tops. The ink stamp indicates they were originally sold off the shelf, made on his standard last.
Me neither. You can have them run that 015-478 number.They have the ink stamp in one boot and the original owner’s name in both (like on the other Paul Bond customs in that auction). Not sure what that implies.
I don't think so. Right off, I'm sure it would change the toe spring and heel strike.General Boots question.
Changes the whole geometry of the boot.I don't think so. Right off, I'm sure it would change the toe spring and heel strike.
Outstanding, HJ. Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen the pics of II.TONY LAMA EL REY II Boots
Was watching a guy today he had his Jeans tucked into his Cowboy Boots. I was thinking nobody does this. But got to thinking a person has a thousand dollar pair of Boots why not show them off?
Interesting that it’s faux pas for men but women do it all the time

If they fit when you've got them on, then I'd say go with it. They will stretch out over time and you don't want them flopping around too loose on your foot. In the meantime, get yourself a boot jack to make it easier getting them off. You can get a plain wooden one for pretty cheap, or go down the rabbit hole of vintage ones. Usually cast iron, you can find steer heads, giant bugs, saucy ladies with their legs in the air....the possibilities are endless..Bought a pair of Loblan 295 harness boots this week, after a long time of looking for a pair of brown harness boots not in a waxy finish. I really like them - shiny, 'rub off' look in a finish I believe they call tobacco.
I do have a question about fit. I tried them on in the office for the first time (socks on, no plastic bag). Difficult to get into, but once on a great fit. Getting them off again was a bit more of a struggle on my own. Once on, they feel a good fit round my feet. Snugger all round than an engineer boot - which is part of the attraction, of course. What I'm now not sure about is whether I need to return them (purchased by mail) and ask for a size up, or whether they will break in with use.
I did a few years ago have a similar issue with a pair of Chippewa Engineer boots, which broke in and slipped on and off nicely after a few weeks of regular wear. Are Loblans the same, or do I really need to size up? I'd hate to size up now and then find in a couple of months' time they were too big...
