CUSTOM MADE WESTERN BOOTS
Custom Cowboy Boots
You've found a dealer that offers some of the
finest Western Boots available. If you're familiar with Justin
Brands, or Tony Lama, or Nocona, you understand the value that handcrafted
boots can provide. If you're familiar with Lucchese
Classic Boots, or Ammons Boots, or Black Jack Boots
or Cultured Cowboy Custom Boots, you're
familiar with the added comfort and higher quality
levels of both craftsmanship and materials of a
"Handmade" boot.
If they are new to you, you have
to try them to understand how truly great they feel.
The boots are cut generously in size. They allow
comfortable room for your arches. Until they
break-in, they will slip on your heels.
On top of great feel, with CC
Custom Boots, you have the added prestige of these
well known name brands. You also have the
availability of almost any toe, heel, topstitch
& sole type combination. And if we need custom
measurements, that can be arranged. (Large bunions,
stiffened ankle, fallen arches, or you use an orthotic
device)
We're proudly showing our
first group. A dressy top with a trucker type work
sole. Non slip soles with extreme comfort. This boot
has been in demand in a higher quality than is
available from production models. Higher quality
handcrafted bootmakers such as Justin have decided
the numbers do not match their goals. They agree
about a small need in our marketplace. Cultured
Cowboy is trying to fill a void in traditional
boots, made of the highest quality, in styles the
mainstream companies find more difficult to fit into
their production models.
Why are cowboy boots
divided into different categories? Aren't they all
Western boots? Yes, in that Western is a lifestyle.
But there are so many different facets within that
lifestyle.
Today, with advancements in technology,
and foot science, there can be a more specialized
selection from which you can choose. We know more
about foot science than ever. Dr Rodney Candor
and the UVA did a lot of work with how a cowboy boot
can affect, even correct foot / gait issues and challenges.
And other researchers have built upon those models.
Even though leathers may look
similar, a custom bootmaker blends types of
leather, thickness of leather, parts of the animal
from which the leather is made, for your best fit
& function.
For instance, on the vamp
area, using leather is a given. But, using leather
cut from center of the back toward the side of the
animal produces a correctness in the grain and
movement of the leather boot, as you wear it.
Production or handcrafted boots will take a hide and simply make
best use of square inches. Handmades are cut for the
function of the boot part, regardless of the waste.
This makes for a lot fewer pairs from a cowhide in
leather usage. Yet this cut makes the boot wear sooo
much better!
This is kinda like when
wearing a "best" suit, a person was
claimed to be "Dressed to the Nines". Nine
yards of the finest fabrics were used to be able to
match every seam, every pocket, every exterior
detail, in a way that made that suit stand out among
suits. Today, a fine 9 yard suit is in the $2500 to
$4000 range. And only the finest tailors can
produce such a suit.
Similarly, with a handmade boot, many of
the details are built inside the boot, as well as
the fine craftsmanship on the exterior. So....
we spend how many hours in a work day? Why
should we not invest in best footwear for support
and comfort? How many days would you feel more like
coming home to kiss the wife (hubby) rather than
scowl, if your back, your feet, your whole body felt
better? Are you aging? It's even more important to
support those metatarsals and ligaments holding
those foot bones together.
Here's a start of our
collection. From our "Trucker
Boot" selections. Called Trucker boots because
the heel counter is well attached to the rand for
superb lateral support and the sole shown is
Goodyear's best for flexibility and slip-resistance in a
welted sole that can be re-soled. As an alternative,
each can be made with either Vibram's Mini-Rib or
leather soles. None are air blown nor injection
molded!
And now, more Exotic Western
Dress Boots, Vibram Crepe Sole Ropers, Buckaroo
Boots are here!
The traditional
Western boots here give you a great look and a
wonderful comfort that few boots can match. They are
certainly time proven favorites. Just ask for the
leather soles if you want a dancing boot, or need
leather for your executive, administrative or sales
positions. (We'll even let ya order more than one
pair!)
Consider this quality for your wife and
children too. (Ya do want more kisses, don't ya?) Especially during the growing years, the
bones of the feet will form only as well as you
allow. Proper care when young will pay tremendous
dividends in all the years to come. Almost any of
these styles can be made in ladies sizing too.
Please call for more information on
any custom cowboy boot that you may be
interested in. (even if it is not shown).
Our next selections will be in more buckaroo styles
and "Shooter's Boots", for
Cowboy Action Shooters and SASS members. Another
sorely needed category. And in Crepe Sole
Westerners, which are so comfy on concrete surfaces & so
popular among TechnoCrepe Boot fans.
Ladies, we can make all these in your sizing
too!
