Today, I updated my bootmaker map and my big list of bootmakers… with 5 “new” shops.
Al’s Handmade Boots (Houston, TX); Candela Boot Co. (Weimar, TX); Mark James Designs (Rome, GA); R.L. Boyce Handmade Boots (Winthrop, WA) and Tim Alden Custom Boots (Rogue River, OR.) Go visit their websites. Like. Comment. Reshare.

This isn’t a picture of me, but I look just the same when I open a boot box.

Vintage Dixon Boots. On eBay, $224.99. Buy them now. NOW!
Very groovy stitch pattern, 6 row-3 color-orange, green and yellow thread stitching. Worthy of reproduction. James Davis writes about Andy & Nobel Dixon here and here. The bootshop was in Wichita Falls… it looks like this pair hasn’t traveled far from home.
(See what I mean about the orange-green-yellow stitching? Cool, no?)

Tex Robin boots found at a yard sale outside of Blackwell, Texas. Cloth “Coleman, TX” label inside, trademark fender and pulls. Green, yellow and orange stitching outlined with a row of white.
I would have never picked these colors. Shows you how little I know.
