Rex Allen is the best narrator that ever lived! I had a pair of Tony Lama's with the same design and colors as the ones Rex got in this film, except mine were elephant skin. Best boots I ever owned.
Elephant skin?! My god can you imagine how much trouble Tony Lama would be in now for selling such a thing ... hell we got in trouble with the fedss for snacking on a California Condor carcass (roadkill) a few years ago. The arresting officer asked us how it tasted and we told him honest truth, kind of a cross between roasted bald eagle and spotted owl.
@anthonyalles1833 Internet says there's a legal carve-out for the trade in elephant hides from four African nations that have relatively stable elephant populations: Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.
My Mom grew up with Tony, Vicki Carr, and JJ Armes. They all lived within a block of each other. All of the kids were present, heading home to eat, when JJ picked up the railroad torpedo that blew his hands off. Tony made my little brother a pair of custom made boots when JD turned 16. My Mom always got a holler and a hug whenever she and Tony saw each other. Thanks for the film, men.
You got your Tony Lama's on your jeans pressed tight You take a few tokes make you feel alright Rockin' and a rollin' on a Livingston Saturday Night...R.I.P. JB
I was in the shoe selling, and several years of management. There were five or so different companies I worked with...a total of 34 years of the shoe business. My last company I worked at was SAS (San Antonio Shoes). SAS had prided themselves in handmade shoes. They had a "cowboy boot section", too for awhile till a factory fire destroyed most of it. The famous Tony Lama Boot company, I guess, still do the hand making style in their plant(s). Lots of famous people have worn the Lama brand line. One of them was (or still is) Indy Car Champ, A.J. Foyt, Jr. I admire the craftsmanship of many items when applied by dedicated people who love to do work by hand...especially in the shoe business. The narrator in this film documentary: Rex Allen...What a fantastic voice and style he portrayed in his years. His voice was heard in several of the Walt Disney Productions documentaries of the 1950's through the '70s.
I had a pair of ostrich skin cowboy boots 40 years ago. The leather was the softest and most comfortable I ever came across. The lizard skin boots I had by comparison felt like wearing sheet metal.
"Well heck, you'd need a COMPUTER to figure out how different kinda boots the Tony Lama people can make." Here, Rex, you can borrow my phone for that. 😝

Hey thanks for your comment and for being a sub!
Looks like these Lama boots were definitely made for walking!
