Los Altos Men's Exotic Western Boots
You
want a stylish exotic boot, with arch support, and
cradle comfort?
Los Altos Boot Company has made a
great handcrafted boot for decades.
Pricing is fair and the quality is higher than many!
We know you can find
all sorts of western boots today. And to find a good
pair sometimes gets confusing. Most of the major
"brands" offer everything from not built so
well to built very well. This page, these Los
Altos cowboy boots are targeted to those with a bit of
discriminating taste. ( Cheap ain't
inexpensive! It's cheap! )
What we've found is
that the consistency and quality of these Los Altos Full
Quill Ostrich boots allow us to be proud to provide them for
you. How are the
heel counters made? Sturdy! Why - the heel counter that
you cannot see is what will determine whether your foot
has a tendency to break over the outside of your heel.
Once this happens, you not only lose support under your
feet, they start to hurt.
Are the soles welted
so that my boots can be resoled? Yes - This hand welting
process takes a lot more skill than injection molding,
which is why so many production brands are turning to that process.
Skilled labor is in short supply and Los Altos offers attractive wage - you get a better product when the
bootmakers care about your satisfaction.
The toe box is formed
to allow breathability. They do allow
air to circulate without being trapped in your socks,
will avert foot fungus, and thus will help the boot materials
to last much longer. Moisture flows through your
socks, through the
outside of your footwear. The advantage of the full
quills is that they are all a small outlet for your foot
sweat to dissipate! WE buy them cause they feel good!
(Not because they look like a bad case of acne.)
Moisture dissipation happens with the
materials used in better dress boots. Your heel should
slip a little when you step in your new boots. This
pumps the air around your foot like the design was meant
to be. The fore part of the boot should feel like a
nice handshake.
How about the linings?
Glove linings are the norm here and the rear of the
shaft has enough support that the boot lining will not
tear with the pressures of your putting on or
pulling off your boot. You can trust these
handcrafted exotic cowboy boots to be
moderate in price and way above moderate in longevity, and
comfort. Also: the bed of your boot has a full cushioned
lining on the inside to prevent "kicking up of the
shorter heel pads used on many boots.
Decorative shaft stitching functions to keep the top from falling onto
your ankles over time. The patterns are engineered
through experience to enable support where needed,
without limiting range of motion while walking or
especially running in your boots. (They break in
better.) If a stitch pattern is more bold
than your taste, Simply polish over the colors to dull
them.
We trust and know Los Altos knows exotics, and you can be assured of a
great experience for many years to come!
See the pics below & let us
serve you!
Your feet just mold
into the supple ostrich leathers. I find this to be
a leather for dress or casual use. Others figure the price
paid allows them for more formal events!
And perfect for a hot date too! So good on
your feet, you'll have a hard time not wearing men's
handcrafted boots for almost every occasion! This
boot (Wide Square style shown) can be "Rock 'N Rolled" with boot
trim. Your choices of toe tips, heel caps, and boot
bracelets or chains. Your choice of nickel,
antique nickel, antique gold or gold tone styling will make you proud.

So, here are more pictures
of the comfortable "craze" in ostrich boots.
Front View
|
First, you'll notice the
raised quill patterns of full quill ostrich leather.
Definitely softer
on your feet than many cowhide side leathers. Los
Altos chose a top of a
complementing contrast color. Ostrich comes without a toe stitch on the
vamp. It will properly break-in based on your
individual feet! This unique top
pattern of color & stitch adds "body" to the shafts.
OK, there's no confusion to worry. The rather silly
rumor that Ostrich birds are treated inhumanely to
get these full quill marks is NOT TRUE.
Ostrich is a farm bird
and well taken care of by the owners who care for
them. Meat, feathers, hides, - nothing is
wasted.
Wide Square toe with
double row sole stitching is shown.
Super Roper heels are
comfortable to walk and give enough height to allow a
lot of arch support.
|
|
Notice the
unique patterns of ostrich leather. The exotic ostrich
is combined with a great leather inner layer to offer
natural formation around each individual foot, and remain softer
on your feet than cowhide side leathers. The Los
Altos bootmakers are careful to match patterns of the quill marks for you.

double row sole stitching is shown.

Medial
side view of your smooth ostrich cowboy boots.
Double Stitched
3/4 Welted sole.
|
And the
medial side, or side next to your body center line, is
as well made as the lateral, or side away from your
body centerline. This is important for balance. The
3/4 welt structure aligns with
other inner mechanics for your inner arch
support, especially if your riding stirrups,
or footpegs. Look at how clean the heel base flows
into this leather sole.
|
Lateral View
|
(Any "squeaking"
as the boot breaks in, soon stops as all that
leather under your heel, (for dissipation of
concussion), works its way into your individual heel
bone/pad structure.)
Lateral view to the
left.
Sometimes this
combination of toe & heel style are called "
rancher boots " .
|
|
Full Quill ostrich hides
give
you surprisingly comfortable durability you'll love from
leather cowboy boots. Great for "hard to
fit" or asymmetrical feet because the glove leather
linings & the outer leather will adapt well. The combination of boot
inner & outer leathers will be soft to feel, yet hold your
bones in place properly.
Deep dip tops with
sturdy
pulls.
|
Look how tight the heel
counters, heel rands and heel base fit together for
even more lateral support. When you hold the boot
by the heel counter, you'll immediately know why
these do not roll over to the outside like so many
boots tend to do. This inner counter must be made of
the best leather to withstand the rigors of tons of
pressure you will exert as you move, doing what you
do.
|
|
|
Soles are leather 3/4
welted & stitched and
can be re-soled down the road, by your preferred
cobbler.
Compare this quality to
any! You'll find these a bargain at our low price of : Only
$539.99
per pair.
Available in these sizes, and widths:
Mens:
EE, 6-12, 13

|
You'll notice the smooth
joining of this top into the inner heel counter, the inverted inner side seams, and bottom heel padding,
formed to hold in place a long time without working
into your socks!
|
Notice the quality glove leather
linings, the hand skived connection of inner heel
counter leather connecting to inner shaft leather (prevents
breakdown), the soft
leather heel pad under your heel, and the hand-formed
heel rand area to hold your lateral support as it
should be.
|
|
You'll be proud for years
while wearing these Exotic Ostrich Boots.
It's not unusual to get
three resoles, then re welt & go again for more
resoles!
|
|
Hand crafting doesn't get
any better than these!

|
Care Products: Leather Balm Cleaner Conditioner for deep cleaning. Pulls harmful
dirt & dust out of the pores of your exotic
leathers. You can use a worn out toothbrush to
get into the crevices.
Delicate cream for moisturizing the exotic leather.
(Leather needs moisturizers just like a ladies hands
do.)
Burgundy boot cream (use cordovan wax polish if ya think yer
gonna be rough on these), to protect against scuffs. And maybe
a horsehair dauber brush to apply & soft horsehair
finishing brush to buff out & shine.
Sole Dressing keeps moisture from too much wetting and
wear of the soles as you wear them through grass. Your
soles will last considerably longer by often
application of sole dressing. (Apply to sides of sole
& heel block, and bottom of soles.)
Boot Bag - easily store or transport your boots when traveling,
or in your closet.

off). And thins down on the top of your arches with a

sizes. (Assists your metatarsal bones).
