eDirectory of Cowboy Bootmakers

You’ve read my website and my book. You’ve gotten advice from friends and colleagues. This eDirectory is the next step in your careful cowboy boot research.

This is a directory of all the talented bootmakers featured in my book, Cowboy Boots: The Art & Sole (Universe 2007.) This pricing and delivery information is not available anywhere else online. I spent hours on the phone, calling bootmakers one-by-one, so you don’t have to. (I hope someday to create a directory which includes the nearly 300 bootmakers listed on my Cowboy Boot Web Page.)

Yep. Here’s the information you need to be an educated and confident custom cowboy boot buyer.

This downloadable directory includes starting prices, delivery times, years of bootmaking experience, and whether the bootmaker will accept measurements through the mail, or if he/she must measure your feet in-person. You’ll get up-to-date bootmaker contact information, and (when available) live web links to each maker’s website.

Now, a free download.

Over the last ten years, I’ve called hundreds of custom makers looking for information about cowboy boots… I know, it’s not always easy to get your calls and questions answered. This directory will save you a pile of time and trouble. You can…

• Quickly narrow your search to custom bootmakers in your price range.
• Understand typical delivery times before you make a single call.
• Look in my book, or use the web links, to see photos of each maker’s work.
• Print a copy of the directory and annotate it with your own notes.
• Get a jump-start on all your travel plans!
