Making My Custom Cowboy Boots! The Perfect Toe | With Lee Miller

[@johnnymossville]

Love watching people do exactly what they should be doing.

[@moisesojeda5647]

Haha ikr, I know what you mean

[@deucetrey4202]

Yes, it is amazing to see a master at work!

[@RonnieSouthbuckle]

That's a simple yet very true statement. An artist at work is a beautiful thing to see.

[@christopheranderson226]

Kirby, the work you have done documenting how these masters of their trade go about creating their works of art is nothing short of amazing. I doubt people understand the documentary significance of what you are doing but for later generations these videos will be a treasure.

Love the way Lee Miller dissects, adapts and improves his methods. He's the Bob Ross of boot making.

[@CSCrimson]

I like how this guy doesnt brag about how his technique is the best. He says thats the way he does it. What a true craftsman and a laid back dude.

[@Wawalsh1234]

The labor, skill and love of the craft that goes into his boots are likely unrivaled.

[@VirtualSatyr]

"If you understand what's happening, you can change it./You have to understand what you're doing before you can change what you're doing." I like that. That's a good philosophy to have.

[@ArtU4All]

It really applies to communities and societies. We only need to stop and see and think and comprehend and then change …..

[@truthlifefishing1730]

@@ArtU4All People understand alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, drugs, immorality & obesity are ruining our lives, our health systems, our justice system, our economies, but nothing happens because we don't want to really understand, because we don't want to really change. Self comprehension, is as confronting as it gets.

[@ArtU4All]

@@truthlifefishing1730 I agree with you. The truth about self, even if not admitted to the world, is the most honest and intimate knowing… I think ☺️ Thank you for your comment 🙏🌿 and I like you @handle 😎

[@gavindadds4414]

Do you think Lee's heart rate ever gets over 50?. Such a laid back guy, sounds like he's shooting the breeze over a cup of coffee while demonstrating that he's one of the absolute best at what he does.

[@truthlifefishing1730]

It is an inflatable tumbleweed. And he is just tumbling along.

[@julianhuitema7133]

Amazing to see a master working his craft. Just poetry in motion.

[@denbo74]

I have to say this is my favorite video of any you ever put out

[@ictdpowerstroke4591]

A boot work shop is where all old fashioned boots should be made ,,respect to this man

[@aweandthensome]

Master crafting at its finest. Great series so far.

I'm really digging his "big rubber ball" seat! Looks comfortable.

From Rotterdam, The Netherlands: Complimentsto Lee Miller for the calm and relaxed explanation and sharing your knowledge with us💫❤🎯 Also thanks to Kirby Allison for introducing this craftsman to me!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@iqoverlord]

It is wonderful to see teachers passing on the knowledge of their life long experience. There is also a sadness that the current generation lacks the yearning to learn. Hopefully this video legacy that is being created will inspire and guide the ones who will later follow. There will always be ones who come with a natural desire to learn. They may be unexpected or even overlooked at first. Never the less these videos will guide them to greatness in their own time.

[@Ty_N_KC]

We have sunshine boys!!! Pretty sure I felt like Kirby waiting for the completion on these boots. Hands down Lee is the best bookmaker you're going to find. Congrats Kirby and thank you for stepping into the boot world. You (as always) do it right!

[@davidkerridge3889]

I love it when someone is level 9999 but talks to a level 1 like they are the same. He knows all the answers and some! Such a lovely bloke. Very well filmed also, cracking series

[@1979augistine]

Been waiting for years for this video and my reward for waiting is I get this watch a master at work

[@Death2Weebs]

Seems like a humble old shoemaker. Fantastic tulip stitching

[@markpalmer5311]

Just amazing. Could watch all day.

[@jmartin2778]

This is such a great series. It's also great to see how a cowboy boot is made, as opposed to the well worn road of a black Oxford construction. Thanks KMA!

[@ZachShock13]

I could listen to Lee talk all day long, they should just have a livestream of him while he’s working. This boot is what got me hooked on Kirby too. Can’t wait to see the complete boot.

[@Russell-1]

Always a pleasure to listen to Lee explaining his work.

[@illcodino]

This series easily could win documentary award 🥇, better then N--X documentary’s, congrats Kirby and Lee, amazing job

[@ItsBugsy]

So calming to watch - great vid Kirby!

[@sek2293]

Mastery at its best right there! I am thrilled with what these are becoming!

[@TheHomelessNinja]

This maker series is awesome. I also hope to see more of Dominic Casey and his shoe making process.

[@Abb-bs7ku]

My favourite KZbin channel ❤️

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I once was a master bartender in my earlier life. My movements were confident and precise and I took pride in the “flow” of my work. I saw this in his movements here. A true master. Also, I’d love to get a pair made but the years of waiting seems crazy to me.

[@shaunaniguns]

Amazing. Such craftsmanship. It might be just me, but he reminds me a bit of Igon Spengler.

[@pb1964]

Lee Miller is an amazing bootmaker and a a great guy.... His wife Carrlyn, she's undeniably a big part of their success too... and Kirby, you''ll never look at cowboy boots the same way, from now...

[@Nefville]

Great video Kirby & Co.. Love watching a master at work, and Lee is like the Phillipe Dufour of boot making. And hearing about Charlie - I've always wanted a mentor like that. I had one for a few years in my line of work but nothing quite like Lee and Charlie. Its important to a young man or woman to have a good mentor who can give you a head start. Its also a good way to mature much faster, something I definitely could have used at the time.

[@hunterwolfe6295]

so satisfying to watch. i love my boots. The ultimate shoe

[@niallmurray9725]

Wonderful, these videos are the best. Similar to others you have done in London. Watching someone at the top of their game, go through a process they have learned over so long. Fascinating. Now I need some cowboy boots!

[@username-checksout]

Watching in 2x made it even more special!

[@timaust1207]

so pretty to watch, and look forward to the next episodes.

[@peterichmond6718]

kirby. love seeing the process. less talk talk more work work

[@orenrubin2711]

Fascinating. Absolutely priceless workmanship. Lucky you Kirby!!

[@ArtU4All]

Fabulous episode Terrific filming Can’t wait for the next one 👢🤩

[@Z3kyTw0]

Incredible craftsmanship.

[@maximecollot8612]

Great journey Kirby thanks for these images from the master !

[@philmartinez1872]

So very cool to see him work. 👍🏼

[@JHERDJ_NEWS]

I loved the video, the information provided is super excellent, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@shaunrichardson2346]

look at that coat! nice Kirby

[@ianwalls4976]

Thankyou kirby your boots are truly amazing 👏

[@sheet-son]

This dude reminds me of this "craftsman" who took 2 months to build a bookcase in my living room after he told me 2 weeks. drugs are bad

[@oasiasoasiaso]

Excellent. Well explained. All that work just for the tip.

[@farahnamazie6034]

Damn, what a maker!

[@ArtU4All]

☺️ Pupil of Dunn, what a maker!!!!

[@CrimFerret]

I love that he's showing a process that took him so long to evolve. There's no reason not to. It won't help any of the companies making mass produced boots with cheap ass materials. For the very few it might help, I don't get the feeling he'd mind if they learned something from him and made better boots because of it.

[@k9teamzagrebskolazapse149]

I'm waiting on mine for 40 birthday I finally pull the plug and today haw been on fitting and in EU price us wery good and its tird generation off shou maker and they make shoes and boots for 3 generation boot makers . Ewry thing is 100% leather hand made and cowboy boots 👢 he had it feu in store too loock and they are unbelievable. Now I must wait 3,4 weaks . I'm soo troo the moon . And can wait but hand made is something special.

[@frankrizzo7185]

Simply put: wow.

[@franciscoazevedo1346]

Hello kirby, I was wondering what is your opinion when it comes to undershirts, and if you use them. Thank you

[@snipermerc]

I was wondering if you were ever going to get your boots!!! (yay) :)

[@originalvybepromotions7269]

Fascinating!

[@machtschnell7452]

I had some store bought boots repaired by Charlie Dunn at Capitol Saddlery. Those we're the days when Austin was truly Austin. Nowadays it is much more like LA.

[@leonrich]

Awesome!!

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I own about 8 pairs of boots but none are even close to this special. I can’t imagine.

[@BaljitSingh-uy3ki]

Why you didn't pick the exotics for this boot ,like full quill ostrich or alligator?

[@doogie64]

“First question. You’re not wearing that jacket with my boots are you? If so that’s a showstopper.”

[@passengerthree145]

Hey Kirby, have you come across any garment makers in Texas who are making well made western style sport coats? I'm trying to find an odd jacket with suede yokes but googling I can only find polyester versions for some reason.

[@craig8037]

Do you use GERMAN SURIVAL Kinfes

[@fifthdimensionfooty9471]

What a cool cat.. brilliant

[@corycasey]

Wow, what a legend.

[@revtmyers1]

There's no doubt Lee makes exquisite boots, but obviously only one man has a limit in his production capacity. Are there any other reasonably comparable boot makers?

[@saxman7131]

Informative and entertaining.

[@pickle.rickmemes]

The bob ross of cowboy boots

[@dimxbvg]

Brilliant

[@chrispnw2547]

As a runner who wear shoes that encourage toe-splay, the toe box looks very narrow on the boots. Are the boots designed to be very toe-friendly?

[@ArtU4All]

I have a feeling the box is there only as a finishing piece of the aiming design and the “breathing chamber”. The toes as such end well within the comfortable width of the boot. It would be nifty if someone could make a computer image showing foot distribution in this boot design. Fascinating….

[@logan9920]

How much do they cost?

[@arguswil]

Minimum $1200 to $3000 on up

[@rayflynn162]

When's the next Kent and Haste video?

[@soulfirez4270]

I find it a little sad watching a master craftsman , knowing the time of such quality work has almost come to an end , killed by a consumer culture driven by fake money ,and the need to export work and do it cheaper and cheaper to hide the devaluation of that fake money .

[@sheet-son]

"I just don't like all those nails" well thanks for telling me where to never buy my boots.

[@hunterwolfe6295]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@davidm6149]

Kerby when are you getting a bespoke nudie suite?

[@rwirtz77]

I wouldn't want glue in my boots if they were custom and expensive. That glue can't be good for the leather and your feet sweat, i don't need toxix glue soaking into the pores of my feet. That was a lot of glue. Yuck.

[@established_1803]

I’m gonna make a trip to Mexico just so I don’t have to pay some liberal hippie to make me a custom pair of boots
