I love the older Tony Lama and Nocona styles but almost all of their new styles are way too modern for my liking. I actually go on eBay and look through the older ones for better style and better quality (in my opinion.) I have a pair of 1984 Tony Lama elephant skin 6.5 EE snip toes and I absolutely love them to death! Walked into a western store a few weeks ago and the owner advised me to box them up, he said in about 20 years they’d probably be worth something.

@sierra17599 жыл бұрын
Get some saddle soap and a good leather dressing... Brush any debris off of the boot before cleaning with saddle soap. Use lots of suds and scrub it good. Let the boot dry and apply leather dressing. You might need several coats. Keep in mind that the dressing or conditioners might darken the leather. I recommend pecards or obenaufs. The latter is good for real gnarly stuff but you probably won't be able to use a wax or paste over it to polish. Good luck.
@sierra17599 жыл бұрын
Also, with the trees, no need for square ones as long as the toe doesn't look like it's deforming the boot toe out any. Just reaching the end of the boot and holding it's shape. Remember, if your tree starts losing it's sent, just take some sandpaper to it lightly and good as new! Good luck

I've owned Lamas for the past 40 years and for the most part loved them. My last pair of ostrich are the most uncomfortable I've ever worn. No lining was put inside on the foot bed and when I asked them if they could install the answer was no. The best they could do was send me some foam insoles, oversized and needed to be cut by me to fit. Didn't even bother as I knew it wouldn't be as good as the factory should have installed. Needless to say they're still sitting in the box, worn only a couple of times. Wouldn't buy Lama again as they're obviously not the quality they once were.
