I have a pair of Wolverine 1,000 mile boots that go great with a russet brown A-2.
Thanks for the tip!

The high tops of the boots were designed to protect one's legs from snakes and scrub vegetation while riding. The underslung heels were designed to keep one's feet in the stirrups. The pointed toe was designed to make it easy to insert the foot into the stirrups. Western boots are considered appropriate footwear in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona, but less so in New England states and the UK. Most everything that we wear is for fashion, although many things that we wear had their design origin with some kind of specific function in mind.
Yessir, dead in the middle of that area for sure! Great motorcycle riding as well as stomping grounds...
I was there year before last with a bunch for the FedoraFest out of the Hats thread here on the Lounge.
I was in Leddy's & looked at some VERY nice boots. Unfortunately, I didn't get measured. Wish I'd known better.
They usually have a booth at the NRHA Futurity show in OKC. I'll be there at the end of the month & will check. Thanks for the tip.
Love the smooth ostrich = that is what my Lucchese's are. I have full quilled Ariats & another smooth Justin Super Roper.
Have a filly entered in the open. Will be there most of the week.I will be attending this show and will look for Leddy's. Probably will have to buy a pair for the wife, as well!
Drove out to Paul Bonds in Nogales from Chattanooga specifically to buy a pair of boots. Good Bike ride... the dude next to me made em.

Look up Gene Lee Reynolds at Leddy's and ask him to show you boots that are already made up. Even if the fit is not correct, it can help determine what you want and how you want the boots to fit. At one time, I preferred a tight fit but less so now. Leddy's fit and design seems unique to me and unlike any other boot that I have seen and tried on. You'll see what I mean when you are there.

Good luck in the open. You gonna eat at Cattlemens while in town?
Cattlemen's Steakhouse is across the street from M.L. Leddy's!
Isn't Cattlemens across the street from Jack wells Western art gallery (our place at the lake is full of his stuff) and Langstons? According to Leddys' website, they have a location in the Fort Worth Stockyards, and in San Angelo.
Uh oh, I think that you and I are talking about two different Cattlemens Steakhouses in Historic Stockyards: one in Oklahoma City and the other in Fort Worth. My bad! However, if and when you visit M.L. Leddys in Fort Worth, be sure to eat at the Cattlemens Steakhouse in the Fort Worth Historic Stockyards, one of the best steakhouses found anywhere.
Has this footwear thread gone a little bit off track
Ignorance?...Sneakers have their place obviously, but what drives a grown man to wear tennis shoes almost exclusively?
