@4c:

…nice shaft.

That's what she said…

"Are we not doing phrasing anymore?"

[Chris]

Careful.  You're about to enter…

The DANGER ZONE!

Going to Phoenix in a few days, is there any shop worth visiting there?
Will finally get my first pair

[mikebarhoot]

looks like they have the typical chain stores.  of which, i like Boot Barn cause they still carry a few made in US brands (including denim ie Roundhouse), and Obenaufs as well as Beck4.

@Chris:

Now that you live in San Antonio, Mike, you really should make a trip to Little's Boot Company.  They have a really impressive showroom filled with custom pairs they've done over the years.  It's kinda overwhelming, actually.

and they are GREAT people

@mikebarhoot:

Had to take my Luchesse's in for repair. Ungh!!!  6-10 weeks.

Shipped today!  Should have em next week !

I have about 9 - 12 pairs of boots, I'll put up a picture soon. 3 are Luchesse, others are usual brands, mostly which I can wear going through TSA precheck without taking them off.

So this is what I ended up with:

More info please….

I was looking for a classic pair in calf leather initially, but size availability  dictated otherwise.
Very happy with these in any case 
Already thinking of a next pair… probably tooled leather, I can see how far this can go

Good maxim…..

Good maxim…..

Spoken like someone who experienced this as many times if not more than I have 

This pair comes from Heritage Boots, http://heritageboot.com/ and is this one specifically:

Originally I had planned on this one:

http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/blood-simple-2/

But they didn't have my size.

Another contender was this pair:

http://heritageboot.com/style/heritage-men/the-triad-boot/

But alas no size either, at least not for now. They do have me on the list to contact when they make more of them in my size

[4c]

Wow, excellent choice.

Interesting stitch pattern.  It's unusual to see one that's asymmetrical.  I'd like to see more of it, if you don't mind sharing.
