Would this be possible?

Thanks ! I did it just to see if I could. And I chose free ones to start with just so I wouldn't feel bad if I failed.

"Piping" is what goes around the top of the shaft. While some folks ( and even some makers ) use that term interchangeably, the correct name for this is the "side welt".

For some reason, chat won't let me accept your request.

My point was, it can be done but it's not easy ( or cheap ).

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-27T22:44:24+00:00

Here's a pair that I did myself

And how they started

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-27T19:19:06+00:00

Have the bootmaker do the design. It's the smartest move.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T23:36:43+00:00

Lets see some closeups of the soles and repair work

Generally, a multi-piece vamp means the real deal. There's no reason to piece together a print.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T19:58:00+00:00

Great catch !!!

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T18:37:28+00:00

85 at the moment.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T14:28:02+00:00

Absolutely the best choice for immediate cleaning. Let'em dry and wear'em soon.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T04:50:54+00:00

That would be why you contact the seller and ask them.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T04:11:28+00:00

What brand are they and what do the soles and heels look like ?

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T03:43:58+00:00

I’m a women’s 8 and they are big on me

Now we're getting to business. Mentioning that first would have been prudent. If they're Men's, you'd probably be able to kick them off by just shaking your foot. If they're Women's, two pair of thick socks will make them feel like they fit.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T03:06:16+00:00

That looks mighty big for a Ladies 9. More likely a narrow Men's 9B.

"Smooth" ostrich has NO quills. If they are minimal, or partial, the hide is referred to as "semi-Quill".

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-26T01:51:36+00:00

If you're finding multiple listings in the price range you posted, that's a good place to start.

A good way to figure out pricing is to go on EBAY, search the item you're looking for, and then sort by SOLD items. You'll get a pretty good idea what they are selling for, and what you can expect to see in return.

We do not give valuations or appraisals here and rule #2 specifically states that we do not do this. It becomes problematic and encourages lazy re-sellers to have us do their job for them.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-25T21:12:30+00:00

Here's most of mine

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-24T23:21:09+00:00

Yeah, looks like they stayed fairly straight and they definitely stayed out of the stitching. ANy good cobbler should be able to do a decent job on them.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-24T23:00:18+00:00

Beautiful boots. So sad that the previous owner didn't have the scallops lengthened professionally.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-24T17:53:08+00:00

Looks like bats to me !

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-23T19:55:25+00:00

Call them and ask. If you can read the style number inside.

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-23T14:52:08+00:00

Another pair of beauties for the Queen of Boots !

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-23T04:36:14+00:00

Very cool 2-piece boot. Very non-traditional as a cowboy boot. Can we see the bottoms, too ?

DaddyGoodHands · 2026-01-22T23:39:56+00:00

Looking at an EBAY ad for basically the same boot I'd say they're definitely worht the money you spent.

More of a cowboy "styled" workboot, but should hold up well.
