I had a pair of black patent leather western boots and returned them for repair of the sole separating from the side of boot and they were never returned to me but I got a refund; Does anyone know where I can get another pair as I have looked everywhere; They were made by Sander Boot Company out of Texas or New Mexico;

My favorite pair, without a doubt, was my first pair; Justin “peanut brittle” iguanas with a “J” toe and a 1 and 5/8” Lucchese heel; “Full vamp iguana!” the salesman told me; I had no idea what he was talking about until I went to buy my next pair, a few years later; Living in Bay City, TX, at the time, I received all kinds of advice on the boots, from everyone who knew me; My favorite was that I needed to set weights on them at night, to keep those toes from “curlin’ skywards,” as Justins had the reputation of doing, apparently; The best part of that piece of advice was the way she used her hands and eyes when she said it; in fact, she gestured twice before she actually put words to it; It was clear that I was missing the point, interpreting her gestures as any young man would, coming from a lady as pretty as she; Finally, with a sigh of frustration, she had to explain it to me, like she would have needed to for a child; Anyhow, I wore those boots down several times, resorting, towards the end, to stuffing cardboard into the soles to keep from wearing my socks out, and I was proud of the way I wore the heels down into a sort of triangle, cantering out; Thought it looked pretty good to kind-a tip my ankles outward, standing on those sawdust-covered wooden floors, as I played pool or pinball; When the holes became too big to hold the cardboard in any longer, I taped them, but, that was definitely the beginning of the end; After I wore the duct tape down a few times, I broke down and got my next pair; Tony Lama, “peanut brittle” J toes and a 1 and 5/8 Lucchese heel; The last time I saw my Justins, I found them in the back of my closet, dusty, kind-of gummy from the worn-out duct tape, and stinky as hell; Couldn’t really fathom why I had liked them so much; What I forgot to take into account, as I held those tattered old boots in my hands was all the imagination and dreamin’ that went into the wearing of them, and all the romanticizing I was doing around the circumstances of my life, at the time; The boots played an integral part of all of that;

Hi, thought I'd post after finding this site on a search; I got into cowboy boots in an unusual way; when I was about 12 my mum decided she wanted to smarten me up; I moaned, but one day she got a package from the States; In it were a pair of plain black Jama ropers, a pair of blue Levis (you can't get kids' size Levis in Britain) and a black western belt; There were a few issues to start with - Mum was constantly polishing the scuffs out of my boots and yelling at me to tuck my shirt in, and I felt a bit awkward to start with since I was probably the only teenage boy in my town who wore the obviously-cowboy belts and boots, but that soon passed; I enjoyed being a bit different; I'm 22 now and still enjoy the western style, and looking at photos of me as a teenager I must admit I did look kinda cute, especially when I switched to western style boots; ;which brings me onto my favourite pair of cowboy boots; At first I was limited to low-heeled, round-toed Ropers as mum worried that western-style boots would damage my growing feet; But I got my first pair of western ones for my 15th birthday; They were a brilliant pair of Justin Juniors (US size 7, my last pair of boys' boots before I grew into the mens sizes), plain dark brown and well polished; They had the tall cowboy heel and seriously pointed toe with the cool cowboy pattern stitched onto the toe, and they had a leather sole and heel with a steel shank; I got a matching brown belt too; I've since realised that they were a rare thing, a kids' boot with all the features of an adult boot; They remain the most comfortable boots I've owned, and I particularly loved the high heel - being small for my age, an extra 2 inches was great! I wore those boots until I was 17/18 and they were actually painfully tight, and sadly had to stop; But I remember them well, they looked great with pale blue jeans, and clicked loudly as I walked along because Mum had had a steel heel and toetips fitted to the soles to stop the leather wearing out; Kicking the heel against the concrete produced some great sparks!

When I was in my early 20's, (somewhere in the "70's"), I purchase a pair of cowhide boots made in Brazil; They were made by a couple of brothers who specialized in a sharp undercut, stacked heel, sloping sole and smooth as silk toe and top, in a very soft blond color; No inlay, no special markings, but fit like they were formed on to my feet;
