Love 'em, but I can't abide by the bright sole stitching...reminds me of 1950s cheap shoes. But I also know that good boot shops will bleach the stitching to bring them back to life....must be just my tastes...
Now that things are cooling off, I'll get out of my boat shoes and put on some socks and boots. Also, I'll note that my experience with rebuilt boots is limited, but the results were what one might expect (and pay for). I bought a nice pair of elephants on ePrey that were my size, and had just...
I had Tres Outlaws resole with the half-rubber sole these boots after I bought them at a store. My intention was to ride my motorcycle with them. Well, I never did and both bikes are now gone, but the thin rubber sole does provide more surety and even some cushion effect. However, it does...
The second pair are the REAL DEAL San Antonio Luccheses in tan French Calf with French Toe and killer stove pipe Spanish tops with tan stitching. The are collectable, from mid-1970s; just look at the detailing and stitching, WOW!
Unfortunately they are San Antonio 12D which means more like...
Two pairs of Luccheses 12 D for SALE:
I am about to put up on ePrey a couple of pairs of Luccheses that no longer fit my old, spreading 12.5 E foot. The first are Black Teju Lizard 1883, with a moderate round toe and tan stitching; barely broken in. I'd like to get $200 for them.
Agreed, I have a leather with woven-leather designs over-shirt with starburst metal buttons that is simply a knock out. I found it on a discount high-end clothing site and still paid a pretty penny for it. Never wear it without getting oohs and aaahs--even in NYS.
I have seen his western...
Several years ago, in my ElPaso fitting session with Pedro Munoz, owner of Stallion, I admired these Moonburst inlaid boots and he told me they were originally run up for Ralph Lauren. I didn't ask if he meant that for personal use or on spec for a RL Western collection. He has had them in his...

Beautiful detail, but I'd never get away with bone boots in upstate NY.
Around here we ought to modify the expression about what's "up your sleeve" to what's "up your cuff!"
Maybe this is an appropriate time to see if anybody knows anything about my turquoise-inlaid AUSTIN HALL boots. I bought them from the original owner on ePrey, just because they were my oddball size (12.5 E). They fit well and I grew to like them (though I don't wear turquoise in upstate NY)...
I have read about the good old days (in TX, I suppose) when one took their boots in for a "clean and press" they would refresh heels, polish, cleaning toe bugs decorative colors etc. and bleach the white outsole stitching.
I have purposely dyed-down-to-brown, the white out-sole stitching, as I...
