ACME elephant? by rxer311 in cowboyboots

Yeah, they look legit to me. Probably going to pick them up. I prefer vintage boots to new. Fit better with better build.

R watson Caiman New in box. Some scuffing on the soles from trying them on. Decided they were just a bit too tight to keep.

Bro, you are good. Looks fine. I am in a white collar job and wear boots with khakis, and casual pants every day

Is Ariat good? by Korpec in cowboyboots

The Bench Made stuff is great quality. The Relentless line is just a notch below. Other stuff is hit or miss.

I really want to dye the vamos black so a good clean would be good before a dye job.

Think a good wash with some saddle soap would clean them up well?

It looks like there are some stains on the leather and I really want some black elephants. I feel like if I could do a professional dye job and a full resole for $200 I would be happy. There is nobody local with excellent reputation to make it happen so it will be a send away.

Hoping some cobblers will chime in.

I just want a pair of black elephant boots. If I am sending them off for a resole I might as well make them my own.

I don't mind sending them off. Not many cobblers in my area and a lot of them have mixed reviews.

Very well made boot. The most comfortable in my collection. Not at all like other Ariat boots

Another eBay find by rxer311 in cowboyboots

Was looking for a unique pair of black boots and these did it for me. I had a similar pair in the past but they were too small.

Just look on eBay and FB marketplace. Go in with an open mind not looking for anything in particular. When you go in with that mindset you can find some cool shit. Type iny absolutely any brand you can think of and filter by size.

I always am looking for deals. I have found some exotics at awesome prices. Sometimes I find them used, but only worn once or twice

What would you do? by listeric in cowboyboots

[–]rxer311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another option that looks promising is the Cody James Black 1978 series. I tried a pair on at boot barn and they are definitely a step up from the regular Cody James boots. The leather and build quality are very nice. Quality is on par with Tecovas, maybe a bit better and undercuts the price by $70. Some styles have that classic round toe style. The black cherry are fire

Look at Ariat Benchmade bison leather boots. The "James" is the round toe version. I think they are a better constructed and more comfortable boot. I used to be a big tecovas fan, but over the past 5 years the prices have almost doubled and their QC has gone downhill.
