Bullfrog, Fish, Hippo cowboy boots? Exotic western style at the Emporium Western Store.

You'd be surprised what they make cowboy boots out of. We went and talked to Ronda at the Emporium Western Store, in Bakersfield California about wild cowboy boots.

The inaccuracy in this video is crazy

[@DanBCooper]

Bro your killin me, never rub scales against the grain ! Haha cool video dude, I’m local and I didn’t even know the Emporium was still in business. I’ll have to stop by.

[@JRCOWBOY78]

Just was there on Friday. Cool spot they got classic gear. I love going there

[@GunsandGearNetwork]

It is a Pirarucu or also know as arapaima found in the Amazon River. It is not a " big mouth bass". Anderson Bean uses the term "Big Bass" to describe theirs.

[@kermitthefrog5926]

I was wondering about that. Most groupers don't even have scales that big. I thought it might be a tarpon, or SE asian carp.

[@carrasco2011sc]

Pirucu boots are so cool but also very expensive. I bought a used pair, and I am very happy with them, they are so soft, perfect boots.

[@khatoonsalma4942]

Wow lizard shark frog hippo ostrich I love all those boots they are so unique and beautiful 🇵🇰 I want them all for myself 🇵🇰

I have been watching Rhonda shape the cowboy hats on KZbin. I am possibly going to go see her at the end of the month the first I got a call and make an appointment to make sure she’s there. I’m excited I can’t wait to get my hats done .🇺🇸👊🏼🇲🇽💪🏼I’m coming from Colton California

[@gregfernandez1117]

She ROCKS!!

Enjoying the boot show🤙🏽

[@trackpackgt877]

I have Stingray python ostrich and gator but I didn't know they had Bass hippo elephant I need to up my game very awesome video

[@benjaminmclaughlin7716]

Just found your video was interesting seeing the fish boots, although I normally stick with cow hides and ostrich. Anyway to answer your question Justin started making boots in 1879 and Tony Lama in 1911. Enjoyed the video!

[@Livefreejeeper]

Florida also has crocodile in south Florida from north part of the keys to north Miami

[@TheBetterthanIDeserv]

I believe those are Hippo print, not actually Hippo. Big moutg bass lol. Bigger the animal, lol . Bullfrog? Or Bull shoulder??

[@tomcatt998]

i can only afford boots made outta duck tape 🤣🐖

[@rondarlemons6429]

We have boots that start anywhere from 129.99 and up but that was funny comment that you made duct tape duct tape is good for a lot of things I never thought of boots though Thanks for watching

PIRARUCU may look weird up close , especially your first time seeing them, but they do go really well with blue jeans. I could be wrong, but I don’t think he understood the difference between Dan Post and Lucchese. I have alway stuck with Tony Lama , seem to fit me the best

[@DavidLopez-dr1eq]

Of all the boots I have I love how ostrich,bass,alligator and sea turtle feel it’s very comfortable

[@lindensd6273]

What happened to the old school western cowboy boots? Nowadays you only see these type of “boots” and they are not one bit appealing to me. I am talking about plain knee long leather boots etc. Where could I get my hands on these? Not looking for a custom boot just a classic boot. Thank you!

[@straycat62]

Look at Olathe. They are owned by Rios of Mercedes now. They still make tall "buckaroo" style boots

[@jose1jovita2]

the only place where you see alligator and crocodile in the U.S.A is in south florida in the Everglades national park.

[@saxman7131]

They just smell funny.

Howdy from Arlington Texas Elephant 🐘 boots are one of my favorites

What color are the piraruca boots ?

That ostrich is belly skin not full quill anywhere not hating just saying I like boots and correcting her

You don't have showing any boots online.

[@Wilsonatorify]

the twisted x boot they are calling bullfrog is actually cowhide.

[@One-Legged-Wayne]

She knows very little about the boots she is selling....

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I was thinking the same thing.

I noticed that right away

You left your boots in the back your truck and they got wet and they shrink because you had nothing in there to help it expand. Like your foot longer you wear your boots to leather will expand informed to your foot so if you get them wet put something in there that will help it expand

[@philsandoval8614]

DUDE!!! LET HER FN TALK!!!! Stop interrupting! Damn.

[@sneekisquirrel]

Take a shot every time they say “Bull frog”

[@edward19722009]

The lady said feathers... Maybe she meant quills?... Lady probably need to study up more on exotics.

[@saxman7131]

I’d love to keep watching this video but every time she tries to make a point you interrupt her.

[@btuff]

I don’t know what to tell you. Thanks for stopping by.

[@WhoDaFuqIzDisGuy.]

Probably monitor lizard on that boot

[@richardgrognard6394]

bon les plus belles sont au prix de 599,99$ et pourquoi pas 600$ ?

[@Quiksilversurf311]

So she said the name “Pirarucu” wrong then said they were “Big Mouth Bass” skin boots. 😂😂

[@michaelfulcher6390]

Not gonna lie, the shark skin boots look like cow hide. No denticles, too smooth, and too soft.

[@SCRAMBY18]

This lady is kinda clueless

[@Willy4206.]

How?

She is wrong about so much.
