LIFE TIME GEAR BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 09 | CUSTOM WESTERN BOOT “MORNING GLORY”

it is a long time ago, getting this boot as a present from my wife: a custom made MORNING GLORY retro inlay cowboy boot. i think it must have been around 2000 when we did this custom order at CABOOTS.com, el paso, texas. the website was really small at this time compared to the actual look and contents. and the custom made boots got really expensive. wow, damn! the MORNING GLORY was my 2nd boot JOEY SANCHEZ and his guys did for me. it was a really smooth deal and i was so happy when i got my boots. perfect work. and this boot is still one of my most beautiful shoes i own.

BOOT OF THE DAY | #125 | LIFE TIME GEAR’S EXOTIC LUCCHESE CAIMAN COWBOY BOOT

beside my passion to workboots i am a great fan of COWBOY & WESTERN BOOTS. there are 2 favorite brands: LUCCHESE and RIOS OF MERCEDES. there is just one other option for me: CUSTOM MADE western boots; i own 3 pairs of those, all handmade in TEXAS. the one below is a LUCCHESE HORNED BACK CAIMAN BOOT style #G9252. some facts: from the LUCCHESE CLASSICS line, mens cigar (brown) caiman tail with brown buffalo calf top, 3 colored leaf stitch pattern, handmade, full leather heel counter, cushioned insole for comfort, 1 3/4″ heel, 12 1/2″ shaft, 15″ circumference plus double leather sole and walking heels. after a bike accident in 2007 when i crashed my left femoral bone i did not often wear cowboy boots. but i think it’s time to do it again. what a wonderful boot. this one has to put out on the streets not to the cupboard. pics | LTG
