Finally Finishing My Bespoke Cowboy Boots with Lee Miller - Day 5 | Kirby Allison

[@minerlord222]

Kirby, I have to say this has been my all-time favourite series I've ever come across on KZbin. You've shared the beautiful work of the greatest cowboy boot maker through the most elaborate videos and all those who have followed this journey here can agree that the following episode is going to be something truly special to see. Thank you very much for sharing Lee's work. It's refreshing to see the incredible attention to detail that both you and Lee possess to ultimately having created this series and the most beautiful pair of custom boots. I'm sure these boots have found a warm place to stay in your heart. All the best, Kirby.

[@johnjohnston3550]

I'd listen to Lee Miller tell me how to brush my teeth. What an immense talent and master craftsman.

[@PerpetuallyTiiiiiired]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RamblingVlogger]

Excited to see it all come together. Mr. Miller is a legend and so talented. Absolutely loved this series. He is very calming and explained the process so well and in depth.

[@janetgiddings5538]

He is so comfortable with being quiet. I think that's very rare. Loved watching him work.

[@coreyboyd3094]

I could watch Lee work all day

[@janetgiddings5538]

My mother wore a 9 1/2, AAAA shoe. My step-dad had a pair of white western boots hand made for her. With the pointed toes, they almost looked like needles! LOL 😉 She passed away 41 years ago. I still have those boots! Couldn't wear them, but couldn't give them up. 🥴

[@EmbracetheQuestion]

This is pure art. That’s understating it, too.

[@jstrat121]

Thank you Kirby and Lee for sharing this series!

[@RayRay-iv7cy]

What perfect timing as he’s in deep thoughts looking over his tools, the church bells ring out so loud ! Just created such a old craftsman vibe! I can imagine the people working so hard back then! And the bells ring out and it just sets such a picture in the mind.

[@MrJohnanson]

I am so sad that the boots are done. What a fantastic journey you have chronicled, I got to see a master craftsman at work. Lee Miller where perfect is good enough. Thank you for sharing. One last visit coming.

[@joeysalazar4356]

This lee miller series might be the best thing on KZbin, ever!

[@lusinemichele7721]

It was an incredible journey to see how to make a high quality bespoke cowboy boots in America, thank you Mr Lee and Kirby.

[@modoc852]

What a treat to watch the master in action on here, would be nice to watch him perform every time he’s in the shop working his magic. It’s therapeutic and almost hypnotic to watch.

[@skurge98]

I am so stoke to see Kirby's reaction upon putting on these beautiful boots. They are very sharp and classy.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I cant wait for the final episode.

[@troz451]

I almost feel like I could make a pair of boot after watching Lee over the past few years. All I need is 40+ years of experience and practice, LOL. Great artisan. Thanks for sharing this experience.

[@patrick.lin.]

Beautiful craftsmanship, wow!

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

Serious question. How amazing does that workshop smell? I bet it smells amazing

[@janetgiddings5538]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@AANate007]

Kirby, this has been an absolute joy to watch. I have started every episode thinking I would just watch a few minutes of it only to find myself fascinated from start to finish. You have become a great interviewer since I started watching you; however, the way this series is simply the sounds of the trade and Lee’s gentle commentary/explanations through out has been so unexpectedly enjoyable. I would love to see a similar series with other bespoke tradesmen. Maybe a similar series with Graziano & Girling is in the future? I am sure you’d enjoy another excuse to get back to London!

[@Gulfstreamer]

I'm sure I'll never be able to afford a bespoke pair of boots from Mr. Miller but I would love to hang out with him during his whole process just as you have here, Kirby. Thank you for sharing this amazing and so informative video series! I'm so blown away by this!

[@aweandthensome]

How excited were you when he broke the last? Can’t wait to see how they fit.

[@elchacon6304]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[@josefsifuentes4618]

“Everything I do I learned from somebody and when I do it I think of that person.” Likely poorly quoted, but what a lovely thought. I really enjoyed this series.

[@godbelow]

When Max Weinberg isn't on tour with the E-Street band.

[@transmaster]

A full riding heel keeps you in the saddle when you are roping. That is the reason for its shape they position you feet properly in the stirrups. They also can have spur counter for your spurs to sit on.

[@ronsmith9251]

This is the kind of work I wish I’d learned.

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

Aww man we need more modeling than that!

[@Thingsdonechangd]

Kirby sharing the work of craftsmen globally - in craftsman fashion I might add.

[@keithgoodson9697]

This is so amazing and the amount of hand crafted labor is incredible. I see so many ways to make a mistake and screw up all the hard work and only a true craftsman can process all these steps without issue's

[@lusinemichele7721]

Mr Lee Miller I would love to meet you in Texas, I really like the boots and I will definitely get a pair for me.

[@hunterwolfe6295]

so cool! i hope we get a proper review of the boots! how they feel compared other shoes

[@sneadhern]

BOOTIFUL....just bootiful

[@sunhuizart3821]

Even though you mostly wear pretty conservative business wear, I suppose this fills your need for something Texan as yourself are from Texas. So on that note, do you plan to get a proper cowboy hat made someday? or perhaps you already own one?

[@machtschnell7452]

Manny Gammage's Texas Hatters is down in Lockhart about one half hour away. Manny left us a few decades ago and his son succeeded him. I am not certain who runs it now. Lockhart is the Texas Barbeque Capitol of the world. Austin has some very good places also.

[@mooseko467]

Unbelievable boots, best footware you have Kirby .. wear them with pride... so good.

[@lusinemichele7721]

It was a good job , nice and smooth and delicate work, the color is perfect, the bottom looks pretty

[@edwardmason119]

Watching from Austin Texas. Enjoy our fine city while you're here. :)

[@CJCook]

No toe bug...PERFECT!

[@richarddr1234]

Cowboy boot trees are massive!

[@dougbillbeaver]

Wonderful !!!

[@machtschnell7452]

I hope Kirby does a video on procuring his boot cut trousers to wear with these. Perhaps a hard English twill? Uhh, Kirby, unless you are on Rodeo Drive, the pant leg always goes over the boot. For men, anyway.

[@michaelfulcher6390]

I have a pair of Harley Davidson Durango boots that are about 15 years old. I thought those were old boots. This guy works on boots twice as old as mine.

[@adriankluger7874]

Really nice video. Though maybe a bit much advertising. Mr Miller has a very likeable way of showing and describing his work. I also especially liked the kids playing sounds in the background. Everything together had something wholesome. Sorry for my bad english.

[@masonhammond8536]

Been waiting to see these finished since the video of him tracing your feet

[@wheelmanstan]

boot making must be interesting, it's like yes I finished it..okay now I gotta do that again and make it match that one

[@frankrizzo7185]

London one day, Texas another. Impressive.

[@SchnitzlerxXx]

Loving the outfit in this one Kirby!

[@hemigod2]

And now I make my exit . Kirby we share Sartorial taste but I’m a tall shaft beetle boot guy .Just got into ten hole Balmorals. But I absolutely love my Cuban heeled zip ons and my curled toe winkle pickers got dang it! I wouldn’t trade em for the world, just love the way those pointed up curl toes peak out from under a suit trouser .Anyways I also own two pair of zip on western “styled “boots (made in Italy) and they are extremely form fitting with very elegant contours might I add .but that’s as far as I’m willing to go. I wince my eyes at the beefy bulk of traditional cow boy boots. Just Not for me.

[@scottdoane3290]

Go head-on Cowboy

[@gobucs3146]

There’s a set of the same boots he’s working on in the back when they’re talking in the beginning.

[@johnnymossville]

His confidence is that of a true master. I would be a nervous wreck near the end. Haha

[@georgemburu4177]

I love chuka boots. Can he make a brown pair? It would be better if he wore gloves while blazing the shoes!!

[@D5DRIFT]

How much would a pair like this cost to make?

[@jason11286]

starting price for non-exotic boots was (2 years ago) $2900. Being that these are smooth ostrich, definitely more

[@alexisnandin9014]

Muy padre las boots

[@kevinenriquez822]

Is there a school for this, I would love to learn this craft ?

[@budowens6478]

How did they fill and fit? Thanks.

[@denbo74]

Always so nervous he is going to slip with a tool and cut the upper!!

[@armandhammer9617]

The damn utube enjoy the zen commercials are destroying my zen.

[@COOTERR]

Should have put the name Andy on the bottom

[@812macdaddy]

Are the heel layers not glued together I always figured they were

[@janetgiddings5538]

I know this is weird, but I would love to hear those!

[@Sir_Lionheart]

Does everything have to be “bespoke”? What happened to the word “custom” built?

[@tongkk994]

😘😘😘

[@assault.t]

😲👍🏻

[@ENWILSON]

I realize that Kirby was showing off the boot but the boot over jean look made me cringe.

[@emiljavier6163]

Your a little bit over dressed this time.

[@dustin9100]

Still a try hard.. always seems forced to me.

[@kaiseredward8394]

Kirby you need to buy a globetrotter luggage. I’d love you to do a video of Globetrotter. The love I have for Globetrotter is unexplainable. I own Rimowa and Globetrotter but I’ve noticed no one has ever done a video of a great British classic luggage manufacturer.

[@brandonwelch4491]

I feel lucky to have witnessed this process from start to finish from a true master of the craft. Thanks for an incredible series, Mr. Allison.
