I get mine custom-made from M.L. Leddy Sons on N. Main in Fort Worth, Texas. They do not hurt. I always have worn them, and always will, and will be buried in my best pair. Bad boots are not real boots. "Terry A. Smith" wrote: Cowboy boots hurt, there's no getting around it. A slave to

Jerald remembers the names of those two vintage shops on S Lamar... Amelia's or Flashback. Which reminds me: there's another good vintage place way up North, just off 50th (I think?), not too far from Airport Blvd. They have more boots than Amelia's or Flashback, although the selection

With all due respect to you mad dogs and (one) Englishman, I can't believe nobody has mentioned El Paso's own Tony Lama. My first pair (black iguana) were TL's, and I still wear them 12 years later. For sheer pointy-toedness, though, you can't beat the pair of Chisholms I've got; you could kill
