I often visit my buddies in El Paso. Let me know, I can stop at the shop for a custom job? LOL. El Paso used to be filled up with mom and pop's boot makers. I still have some Lucchese purchased in San Antonio back in the day when they were there.

Went crazy with the boots lately but I'm glad my original love has been reignited.

Love the natural leather stacked heels and soles. Excellent snip toes.
These used to look like that 40 some years ago.
I just purchased my first high end pair of boots, a great price on Grailed and not much more than a pair of new Grant Stone. Nothing against Grant Stone but I prefer not to deal with companies that outsource if I can help it. If I was going to buy Chinese then I would go with Flame Panda or Iron Boots. Support the true craftsmen not profiteering.
If you have the patience to wait for a good deal to pop up then you can get a much more expensive pair of boots for around the same price as just buying a regular price boot not on sale. Allen Edmonds regularly has sale boots where they are priced the same as kickstarter over advertised boot brands like Thursday Boots.
The stitching and build look good to me. On boots I refuse to get picky about that because they are literally on our feet and the jacket hobby is enough. I’ll save the $2k Clinch boots for the millionaires lol.
I strongly recommend to keep a lookout for boots that are new or worn once before buying new because some people offer great prices.
Just look at these Shell Cordovan Allen Edmonds in size 12 for $364.00. Why would you need anything else in a black boot?

Here are my Horsebutt Vibergs, these should go with my first arriving bespoke jacket which should be here soon.

just arrived White's packer horse butt
and the siblings white's bounty hunter black horse butt, white's semi-dress cheery water buffalo
You are a stepping razor, dangerous, dangerous
Nice whites collection
That’s another brand I will be stalking the various buying platforms for. They look nice and tough like the Viberg boots.

Just wow. I would feel bad wearing those since there is always a chance to ruin this piece of artwork

This is seriously... Something else. It is immensely impressive the boot-maker managed to etch Hokusai's The Great Wave so intricately and the scaly part goes so nicely with it. I don't know if I'd want to ruin these boots by wearing them.

Yes. There is a chance I won't wake up tomorrow, but I'm gonna wear a nice suit and we'll made shoes every time I have an excuse. Even custom made, expensive shoes. Bring on the quality. Life is short.

Nice pair of Trickers Kudu in a burgundy shade (Trickers call it Sign). Ive had these for a few years, lovely soft leather, needs virtually no maintenance as the leather has got plenty of natural oils. Just need a resole later this year, probably getting a double leather sole next time.

What lasts have you tried?. I’m a uk9 and find the 4497 and 2298 lasts true to size, the 4444 last can go down a 1/2 size for a good fit.
