Thanks, guys. Here's a favorite story of mine from her.

"These boots are based on an old Olsen Stelzer design. When I was measuring the lady she said, "I want a pair of boots with an oil derrick on them, because my family was in oil." I thought, "That's cool for you; my family was in poverty!" but I was smart enough to not voice that thought."

I posted the first, this will be the last; mine anyway. Got his boots. This guy wears me out at times. I get that I'm not in his demographic but damn, I don't remember getting "dressed" to pick up my boots.

Five years in the making? Amazing

Tomorrow my Twisted X arrive, kinda hyped! Was doubting getting 'em for a while but decided to finally grab a pair.

UPD. Finally arrived, looking great! Going to give 'em a spin tonight, love blue-brown color mix.

Has anyone had any dealings with the Paul Bond crew lately?

I will be in the area and thinking about making the drive out. It’s been a couple years since I last worked with them.

Seems like they have had some management turn over. Wondering if the production has held up.

Thanks for your help earlier, I got this pair from Heritage boots while I was in Austin

I have also entered the queue with Lee Miller from Texas Traditions. I am hoping to know exactly what I want by the time my turn comes up

Edit: Forgot to ask, how do you keep your boots, do you use shoe trees? Are there some that are specific to western boots? At Heritage boots they told me they simply stuff them with paper.

Those look absolutely stunning!

I use boot trees like a roll of foam to keep the boot shafts from collapsing especially around the angle. Watch the Lee miller video Bamaboots posted a couple of posts above your post to see the wood boot trees with a wedge to adjust

EEEE Feet

Can anyone recommend a source for very wide cowboy boots?
My feet are very wide. I expect I'll have to find someone who
does custom work, though who knows- maybe someone makes them?

Ideally I'd also go for the squared off ones. I'm not looking for
work boots like the Justins or the Redwings - I can get those
no problem. Looking for something a little nicer.

I had a pair made in Spain and the bootmaker said he'd never
seen feet like mine before.

White's will make your boots to order so unusual sizing shouldn't be a problem. I wear 8EEE. Send them the measurements of your feet and they should be able to help you out.

Maybe not cowboy but differently western boots Whites Parker in Horsehide butt

jon, you could probably get arguments from both sides of the aisle on that question. My perspective changed on them after buying a pair of the White's Hathorn packers. Your boots are great and top of the food chain from White's.

Hell Kirby wears a tie to shine shoes.

Passed these up at an estate sale this morning. Loved the look, but not the 5B size.

Very cool Bob.

They look custom and very well made.
