Cowboy Boots

[Hurricane Jack]

I'm hoping they fit, but the measurements seem to be really close to my size. Wish me luck...

Hey Bob...what is the size or the measurements supposed to be? Have they arrived yet?

They are supposed to be just a bit small for a size 12. In my wheelhouse. They should arrive tomorrow by the end of day.

They should arrive tomorrow by the end of day.

Did they?

Did they?

Migraines and pain meds have me confusing days. Should be end-of-day Wednesday.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Sorry to hear about the migraines! Looking forward to seeing your boots.

That sucks Bob.
I know how that goes.

Can't wait to see the boots!

Thanks for the well wishes (it's been a bad day). On a good note, the boots arrived and they fit! They were originally made for a guy named "Bob" ... has to be destiny. I'll post pics after I open them up on Christmas morning.

Anybody wear a size 15? 1995 Paul Bond customs. I can send the link. They are not mine.

Some cowboy in East Texas. (and my boss -- who I'm trying to talk into buying these)

Your wife wears a 15?

Your wife wears a 15?

Ha! Only to kick my ass with...

Your wife wears a 15?

The boots are probably too narrow!

You & Bob Roberts must have been good boys this yr!

Nah ... I just have a "Secret Santa" that I know pretty well. Shortly after I purchased the boots the water pump on my wife's car went out ($800), the furnace in the rental house went out ($2000) and I had to get a tooth crowned ($700). Karma-wise the self-purchased boots at Christmas time may have been a bad choice.

Interesting costs & pricing comparison. The wk of 12/05 I had to have a water pump & serpentine belt replaced on my wife's car ($415), last winter a new furnace & AC at my mom's house ($2100), & the last time I had to have a crown just a few yrs ago it was $1400.

My 2 pair of custom Paul Bonds--
My riding boots--black waxed French calf vamp and heavy tan cowhide tops:



And my latest dress boots--black kangaroo vamps and tops with black alligator overlays on the vamp and top, veriegated black/grey stitching--Was going for "flashy but classy" and think I succeeded!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I really like your riding boots. I like the butterscotch tops with collars, & the toes make it known they are not just the Stockman boots. The waxed calf is wearing in to look like a roughout too.

Stringmaster -- nice work and dress boots! I would have a hard time deciding on a design (then again, I'm pretty new at this).
