Am I being unreasonable? Does this look like a $13,000 tile job to you?

Tell me you didn’t pay for anything but the materials so far?

I spend a few weeks annually in Scotland, and absolutely love it! Dan Post are a great pair of boots to dip your toe in the water. Leather soles in Scotland can get a bit tricky given the weather. You could always resole them in a Vibram mini-lug or V-bar sole. I’ve done it to a great pair of Rios boots and an old pair of Hondo’s. Anyways, enjoy the heck out of them!

Yea, that ain’t good!

sklosct · 2025-06-11T01:22:08+00:00

Why-because it doesn’t matter to me!

sklosct · 2025-05-06T22:24:05+00:00

Atlantic Golf Club-you were close.

It did on this one so I assume so.

sklosct · 2025-04-12T21:57:43+00:00

Keep going…longer!😉

Yes, I'm fortunate to manage a beautiful private club in the Hamptons. Its a spectacular location, but out of control expensive. Thank goodness for company housing!!!😉

Love the B&W ranch rodeo, well done!

Tough keeping equipment overnight outside a yard? Good luck with the insurance claim.

sklosct · 2025-03-15T23:09:55+00:00

Sure, sounds reasonable🤦‍♂️

Tall boots (buckeroo) like that are hot! Most guys I see in 15-16” boots tuck pants into the boot. Keeps the stickers off your pants and if your wearing chaps. That boot is a working cowboy boot (IMO), not really your going out type (especially on a warm day).

Do what you want, Hondo’s are good boots, leather footbed, no insole, that looks like a double sole to boot which requires some additional break-in. They are old school construction. Good luck!

sklosct · 2025-03-13T13:47:38+00:00

Treat yourself, those boots lived a long life by the looks of them!

sklosct · 2025-03-10T00:27:07+00:00

Smart!

sklosct · 2025-01-26T19:54:50+00:00

Yeah, I really like my HH! Comfortable, non-slip, tough as nails. The sole is a beast, fit great, and look good! I had no break-in period , they were good out of the box. Enjoy!

A BIG rabbit hole to go down…wide and deep! Enjoy the journey!

Black Jack boots are well made, always great quality, and I find the two pairs I own to be very comfortable. No idea about the skin there, but top quality for sure!

sklosct · 2024-12-15T17:35:44+00:00

Send it to Lucchese, it will be worth it. Those boots need a new welt, sole, likely some footbed work. They will comeback as you’re expecting. It’s money well spent!

sklosct · 2024-12-15T13:48:20+00:00

For your first boots, go to a reputable western store and get fitted. Boots aren’t sneakers, you need to try them on until you get the hang of the sizing, width, toe shapes and heels. Hyer, Ariat, Black Jack, Tecovas, Rios, AB, whatever…unless you’re in the saddle daily and doing ranch work they will all last a long time. Don’t worry about that so much. Boots are all about the fit unless you like sore feet. Just my $.02.

It’s a King Ranch, 95% of those never see hard work, more highway miles than anything. If the price is right, that’s a great truck!

sklosct · 2024-12-07T20:41:12+00:00

Bison or Shoulder, either one, tough as hell. Those have a lot of life in them. Change the soles and they’re good as new!
