Originally posted by curtintex View PostI want to have a pair of custom boots made. I wear boots everyday...Boots with jeans, boots with khakis and a coat, boots with a suit. I've worn boots from every boot maker at one time or another and have primarily worn Lucchese boots for the past 10 years or so due to their comfort and durability. I'm not easy on them
Thank you,
Curt
Not easy on them? The walk from the cush office to the truck to go point fingers from said truck must be really rocky and treacherous....

Go to the ranch rodeo in Witchita Falls this weekend and there will be several boot makers at the trade show.
X2 both are top quality

Another vote for Little's boots. I have a pair they made me 11 years ago. Resoled twice, but still worn weekly.
I had another pair made by an old local guy that worked for Luchesse for many years. His price was 30+% cheaper than Little's and his lead time was only 2 months versus 9 months at Little's. They are good boots but not great boots like the Little's.

James Leddy Boots here in Abilene is another good one, Curt. James died several years ago, and some friends of mine bought it. Al Dos Santos and his family came here from South Africa. He had a very successsful shoe/boot business there for years, but after going through all kinds of violence and extortion due to the black on white political violence years ago, they pretty much left everything they had there and moved here to start over.
He makes a great boot. I'm wearing a pair of Justin ostrich boots right now that were uncomfortable and squeaked when I walked. I had Al rebuild them, and they are awesome now. My dad has some customs from Al, and he loves them. Al also makes a cool safari boot that he designed and made years ago in Africa.
You have tons of great options all over the state, but if you end up coming here, give me a shout. I'll take you to Perini's for the best steak you ever had.
