Brrrrrrr.

Only love for a dear friend could get me to travel to Central Pennsylvania in February. I am in Lewisburg, last night my friend Ann got married. Yippee!

Before I left California, I bought some winter boots from Boot Star. The boots are made by Frye… and yes, they are gold. I think they’re hilarious.

Never have gold boots been so practical. They’ve got neoprene soles and are far more water resistant than the boots I wear at home. Plus they are at least a half size too big so I can insulate my toes with extra insoles and socks. The lower heel helps too. Did I mention they were on sale?. (I think BootStar might be sold out of this color, but I found a few pairs on Amazon.)

P.S. Thumbs up on Boot Star’s customer service. Their stock includes Frye, Lucchese Boot Company, Liberty Boot Co., Old Gringo Boots, and Stallion Boots, to name a few. Located on the Sunset Strip and the Las Vegas Strip …now that’s easy to remember, right?

Home soon.

Sorrell Custom Boots (on the Road)

Like many custom bootmakers, Lisa Sorrell must personally measure your foot before she will take your boot order. Fortunately, she’s willing to meet you partway.

Lisa ventures out of Guthrie, Oklahoma twice a year; once each January to the High Noon Show in Phoenix, AZ. and once in September to the Western Design Conference.

This year, I joined Lisa for the show in Phoenix. I signed books and bragged about Lisa’s bootmaking. Lisa measured feet and answered many many questions about cowboy boots and bootmaking.

Lisa’s boots were a naturally “fit” with all the fine Western art that filled the room. Her cowboy boots are “suitable for framing” as you can see from the photos of her booth, but I can personally attest that they are more fun to wear on your feet.
