No one can guess how old my boots are, because they are so beautiful, the patina is unbelievable, very deep burgundy full quill ostrich and water buffalo calf vamp.

I had mine done at M.L. Leddy's in San Angelo. Simply the best cowboy boot in world. The fitting took an hour and 2 people did it.. The best pair of boots I have ever owned. It took a year to have them made and 8 months to have them re-soled.

I have seen this gentleman a couple times in videos, but they never showed all this. I am super excited to find this series and watch the other videos! My dream is to one day be able to have a custom pair of shows. It would be amazing if it was from this gentleman. I have very hard feet to fit and have never had show that are good for my feet....Unless foam flip flops count. It does worry me that he said shoes that Don't fit can't destroy your feet. But that would explain why my feet have never been the same after wearing a certain pair of sandals. They were like a hard foam with arch support (never had that type of shoe) and I thought my feet needed to get used to them. They did stop hurting after awhile, and I thought they must have just needed to be broken in, or my feet to get used to it. But after wearing them for winter, my feet really started hurt and got messed up for a whole. They still get way more sore then they used to. Anyway tried wearing them this year and it started all over and I decided it just wasn't worth going over that again. Sire hope they didn't hurt my feet permanently. Love the boot this gentleman makes and sure hope to some day feel what heaven on your feet feels like.

Kirby, I am just at the title segment but boy oh boy you would not believe how long I have been waiting for this! I am British, live in Austria but for 16 years lived in Canada. Since childhood I have loved cowboy boots and when I moved to Canada and visited the US a lot I got the chance to purchase several pairs. If they fit right I maintain they are the most comfortable footwear one can wear! My favourites are a vintage pair of NOS Justin’s made in the USA in the 1980’s (Justin were wonderful in going through their records to ascertain the history of them. They are in full quill black Ostrich and I love them! Believe it or not they are my go to dress footwear for when I attend classical music concerts in Vienna, people always comment and say how much they love them!

Really nice interview, Kirby. Good questions, relevance/ follow-ups, pacing, etc. Granted, you're not as relaxed or "down-home" as most boot buyers, but your newness to the context probably helped yield some good questions that an "insider" wouldn't think to ask. Well done.

Bob Mob There are a surprising number of very talented boot makers here in the United States. Lee Miller was trained by the absolute best - a legend - and has become one in his own right. He is particularly well-known for being a good “fitter,” which means that his boots fit and are comfortable!

This one is the best, Mr. Allison! So informative material. If you will make a series out of it, it would be an epic work! I know quality when I see it. Although I have never considered to get cowboy boots for myself, I always appreciate the craft and admire the skills of those artisans. Thank you so, so much that you kept it uncut. Mr. Miller measurement process is so thorough it serves as a testament to what kind of person he is. Nothing but highest respect, really. I would love to see more and looking forward for your interview with the man.

[@radman9738]

What a great video! I personally have 4 pairs of boots and let me tell you....finding a pair of boots that fit right is very difficult. For example, you can try on two pairs of boots of the same size and style and they will fit very differently. And good luck finding a boot store in the NY/NJ area....not so easy anymore. BTW....thanks for making great hangers..Bought some of your men's suit and shirt hangers over the hoidays....Wow...these are great...especially the suit hangers!

[@Baelfyr]

thank you, i love watching a master at his craft. very well spoken and a man who knows his craft inside out. amazing video.

[@machtschnell7452]

Well done, Mr. Allison. I was going to say that most boot wearers in Texas or other hot climes prefer a thicker cotton or even wool sock that will breathe. Perhaps you have discovered this? I would say most prefer over the calf or at least mid calf fitment. 11/2" above mid calf is the preferred height, depending on the length of you calf. There is a Jerry Jeff Walker song about Capitol Saddlery where Charlie Dunn worked. He even worked on my factory made boots, but I never had the luxury of having a pair made for me by him.

[@wheelmanstan]

oh yeah, wool socks in boots are the best

Fascinating. What a skilled artisan. I’m surprised that foot measurements are not done thru computerized technology. Looking forward to your boot unboxing.

[@TravisL001]

Allen Sandusky I find myself surprised regarding the lack of technology as well, particularly in regards to last making. As much as I enjoy a master craftsman carrying on traditional methods, I can’t help but think a person’s foot could be 3D scanned in much less time with much greater precision, then a custom last could be 3D printed.

[@kirbyallison]

Allen Sandusky There are a few companies that try this, but at this point it is all very gimmicky. It is kianda like Chess - it takes a master’s intimidation to really nail the last just correctly.

Allen Sandusky I get what you are saying! I have a prosthetic and I have been to a place that does the electronic scans and it never fits as well as when they do a casting process. I imagine this is how it works with this process as well. Some things technology changes are good, but others haven’t been perfected enough through technology to beat the traditional methods.

The amount of detail and knowledge makes this a must see. Sadly I believe many of these old crafts are being lost with so many now opting to wear trainers 👟 (inc' myself) Bought Gucci loafer almost 20 years ago and they are still in good nic' even though had several repairs. They were £275. It really is,worth paying for a decent shoe. I've several pairs of Loake's gents shoe, and a chukka style. Very sturdy comfortable shoe, and not overly expensive.

[@gooney0]

I've worn boots everyday for 20+ years. I've never had them custom made, but higher quality is a better investment. Even with daily wear I get 7-10 years out of a pair. You're not saving money if you have to replace them sooner. Also keep an eye on your soles and heals. If you don't get them resoled soon enough you'll ruin the boots.

That was very interesting. I had a pair of speed speed skates made and the guy took a mold of my feet using the material a dentist uses when they take a mold of your mouth. He then filled the mold with plaster and got a detailed mold of my foot. When he was done you could see the veins on my foot. The real amazing thing is when I got the skates it was unbelievable. The fit was unlike anything I have ever experienced. We never wore socks as the mold was taken without wearing socks and if you put socks on your performance went down as you couldn’t feel the skate as well.
