LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES I
from now on i will post some personal favorites from my boards.
here, my beloved BLUEBIRD cowboy boot, handmade by caboots,
el paso, texas. this pair of boots was my first handmade custom boot
about 10 years ago. JOEY SANCHEZ did a great job and the bluebird
was the first of three pairs. the bluebird is a classic boot inlay
pattern which fex. was a favorite of GENE AUTRY, too. believe me
this boot rocks!

EL RESERO | WORKBOOTS MADE IN ARGENTINA
argentina? ok. they look very nice – i like the crepe sole.
on www.elresero.com you can find a lot of polo and riding boots,
saddles and helmets but no cool working boots. i found the boots
in a japanese shop – sorry, i forgot to bookmark.
