and Levis being a California invention and California being the West of the mythic dream of freedom, wide open space and granola....I don't quite feel exactly right until I'm wearing boots...and jeans.
here's my favorites now....
I save them for very special occasions.....like going to see Neil Young. They're 40s Frye Rancher Boots with cloth pull loops, and inlay designs in vanilla, on cordovan uppers with maroon trim on the top edge, the feet are orange. That's a great set of colors!!
....Tho very old and in bad shape.... I want to be buried in these boots.
That's so cowgirl of me!
I used to ride horses as a little cowgirl every chance I got ( I never got my own pony till I was all growed up) but when I sold the farm, and lost the horse, I kept my saddle and I kept all my boots...
I got rid of a few pair of boots since then because they didn't fit anymore....including the pair I won in a raffle !
The thing is....if you can imagine a design, it can be made into a Cowboy Boot...just do a web Images search on vintage cowboy boots......and click my Cowboy boot link ----> for hours of entertainment.
For years I had a pair of cowboy boots like these......I called them my Emmylou boots...these are from etsy seller RockyMountainRetro
another fave I have stashed away are these Zodiac boots with feather detail...mine need some work...they're afflicted with the dreaded Sticky Lining.......these are from etsy seller billiegoat.
Oh gee, why can' t I order these right now at these prices.....
and Levi's...always made in the usa.....and in my shop.......
