Check back in a few weeks as I begin to post excerpts from my recent research on the western boot design motif! I will be demonstrating the original treatment of images and chronicling the techniques! I am currently working on Pedorthic Certification. But plan this for the BLOG:

1) What cowboys really wore on their feet when in the saddle . . . .

2) What is so great about the 'fit' of a slip-on boot with a 2" heel?
The answer to this Let me explain why people grow so fond of their boots they prefer to wear them over other shoes, and why they come back to order more after wearing the new boots.
It is all in the fit.

3) Can you make other footwear on a cowboy boot last? Most people are astounded how well cowboy boots fit - are you ready for more good fitting footwear? Any custom shoe will fit better than a factory shoe with a heel.

4) Consider the custom cowboy boot an ideal gift for the person who has everything.

5) Did you want a boot with a smooth top lining that won't rub your leg or stocking, and one seam? or do you want a rough-hewn four piece top like worn on the frontier and soldiers in the 1860s?

Also, watch for a revised style booklet and measure kit for children that teaches them to know when their shoes fit. My 7-year old niece helped with this little booklet, and she loves to draw and explain things.

Ciao!
