i wear my smooth ostrich boots everyday from work to desserts to mountains , in rain, snow, sand, dirt , mud .. ive worn them everyday for going on 3 years and ive been surprised how tough the type of leather is. they look almost brand new. i do condition them a lot more than i probably should but with all the water, dirt and changes to temperature i go through they dry out real fast. for hiking in areas with lots of rocks, i would recommend going to a cobbler and getting a rubber sole vs the leather because you can literally feel like every single rock you step on
Ostrich has the strongest tactile strength , I had a pair of Tony Lama smooth ostrich.. that had been soaking wet many times, through mud, snow, dirt, dragged one concrete, gravel , through brush … and after 6 years got a little tear .. ostrich by far the best skin and extremely comfortable
this actually helped me out alot because I wanted to get atleast 3 to 6 pairs. 1 or 2 for work, 1 or 2 for special occasions, and just 1 or 2 pairs for runnin around doin errands or just goin out on the town havin fun etc etc.
I bought my Double H 5400s in Amarillo a couple years ago. Was going to have them re-soled the next summer(last summer) but didn't need to. Planned on doing it this summer but I might be in for another year. These soles are indestructible. Worn every day besides winter and the Bison leather smell has me hooked.
I love the country style (mainly for the durability of it). I have never worked on a ranch or a farm, and my parents were from the East Coast, so no one I knew really wore stuff like it. I've been relying on tips from people I work with and the interwebs, so finding a video like this is great.
Sir I love your collection I started my own i have 6 pair and I love them all. I have full quill , python, tan nublok, leathers I have grey, brown and black. Cowboy boots are by far the best footwear.
Dude I worked my way through at good ole cav too! I even got my million dollar buckle and assistant managed store #24. That’s awesome. Most people have no idea how awesome boots are. Or what sets them apart from the rest. For me Rios, olathe and Anderson beans can’t be beat. Good quality stuff!
Thanks for the information, as I'm looking to buy my first pair of boots. Just for going out on the town (not work boots)... dinner and dancing with my wife. I don't want to pay a ton of money for something I'll wear only occasionally. I have narrow feet and would want something easy to break in. What would you recommend? And for all you "haters" telling everyone _not_ to get/wear boots if you ain't a real cowboy, I suppose you tell everyone not to wear tennis shoes if you aren't a tennis pro? Grow up... 🙄
Go with mid-range Tecovas and a bit higher range Chisos. Both newcomers from Texas. They have YT vids as well. Have both plus many others. Big brands are now junk.
The best handmade boots come from Stewart Boots in South Tucson, Arizona. I had mine for over 30 years until my sold them at our moving sale😩 I have been more disappointed. FYI, it is my understanding that Stewart is the oldest domestic boot maker in the USA
You mention that lizard boots are fragile. Most website seem to indicate that lizard boots are hardy and durable. The boots you are showing are Ringtail lizard right?
Correct, Ringtail Lizard- for sure undebatable paper thin and comparable to snake. Awesome looking but to keep them looking good you will need to baby them.
I want a boot that is comfortable right of the bat. Looking for my first pair of boots here in Texas. Kinda overwhelming. I like that entry boot you showed us.
Good knowledge sir I appreciate what I learned just now and might I say I have never been aware of any of that knowledge you just shared wow I'm blown away with so many skin types as well as upper leather types and the way they need cared for was important I thought as well it was a great lesson in boots .....I had no idea these things were of any value and or any good for your feet interesting stuff
Had to sell my first stingray after I got them because I realized “these fuggers ain’t ever gonna stretch!” I worked at Western Warehouse in Dallas around 2006 when they were trying to rebrand. They did some great work doing our store on Interstate 75, but it didn’t work unfortunately. Miss working there for the discount. I just bought a pair of plum rough out cutter toes because I miss having something fancy and flashy. Not an every day boot, but something fun for events.
My first purchase ever was when I was in preschool and bought my neighbors boots at a garage sale. I wore them so much my parents tried to hide them from me because I would wear them with EVERYTHING 😂. Now I have a snake and lizard Justins pair I love someone gave me second hand that fit like a glove. Thanks for sharing about the conditioner mine were cracked
Wrong heel descriptions. The heel you showed as a riding heel is a walking heel, 1 3/8 is walking and 1 5/8 is a riding. The last one you showed as a walking, is a block heel (Fowler heel). Is 1 1/2 inch heel. Snakeskin and lizard boots are highly durable. That’s why exotics exist.
According to YT "Rose Anvil" who has sawed $85K of boots in half to show us all how they're made, pros and cons, Lucchese boots are way overpriced and not worth the money. That belongs to newcomer Texas Chisos boots. ~$600. Of course there are other not well known custom boot makers who charge a lot more, depending on design specs and materials. The toughest cowboy boot out there is Olathe. I have mid-range Tecovas in addition to many other brands in an earlier post. Look up Rose Anvil if you haven't. ☺️
@@jbsimmons54 Yeah I saw that. They are still my favorite. I don;t buy them for work boots. I have 2 pair of Chisos and they are the most uncomfortable things I have ever put on my feet. They are probably tougher but that's also why they are less comfortable. Lucchese are my every day boots. I don't use them for work. My work boots are Redwing or Thorogood.
@@travr6 Red Wing is good stuff. Have had their loggers in past decades. Recently got black Iron Ranger and not exactly broken in yet, comfy, but they come in limited sizes and widths for certain colors, unfortunately.
Impressive, I learned a lot. Thank you! Do you keep boot trees in all of them? My ostrich boots started getting deep creases so I put boot trees in them, but the boot tree is starting to stretch it out a bit so it doesn’t quite fit like a glove any longer. How to I prevent the creases and the stretch?
Best custom boots I ever had came from a Rabi bootmaker in Houston. They were crafted from foreskin. Super comfortable and when you polished them they turned into matched suitcases!😂
I guess i made a good choice when i bought my elephant boots. Bought them in the early 90s, my only pair of cowboy boots. Only other pair i owned, was back in '72, when i was just a wee guy.
late to this video, but would you recommend square toe for wide feet? i grew up not wearing shoes a lot and my feet are flat and wide... i heard square toe is good but i've seen a few comments saying the opposite! i like the look but i dont want to be uncomfortable since im looking for an everyday pair.
Thank you @@Lance_Dale ! Also what are your thoughts on Anderson Beans? I've worn square toes my whole life but am by no means an expert though I've heard good things about them.
Wow, your my hero! The wife thinks I have too many boots wait till I show her your great collection, I should easily be able to buy a couple more pair and I think I seen the ones I want on your table. haha
So I’ve never owned a pair of cowboy boots, I want to get a pair but I can’t go above $200. I’ve been doing my research and I’ve seen Ariat a lot, are those good boots to have as my first?
Some Great Looking Boots you have there Real Nice!Whats your Oldest pair of Boots & Favourite Boots & Toe type?You need to display them all in a Boot room,How often do you clean & condition all your Boots?
oldest- justin elephants from 1993; favorite=blackjack natural gator; square toe- I will bick 4 treat them before I put them on my foot if it has been longer than 2 wks w/o wearing them
Sorry about that. My phones swiping went nuts. What i was gonna ask was. What about pointed toe vs square toe and top of the boot over the pants vs pants over the boot? Sorry again
@@TEXASLOYAL some hold up but many are not built the best. The imports we got in from Mexico was better made than the ones made in the usa and both had made in usa tags. Just like the Carolinas we made where also made in China and sent to our warehouse. The company keeps going cheaper and cheaper with materials and 90% of the staff are drug addicts that are paid on piece rate so the faster they do the job the more they make so quality goes out the window. We use to get so many returns due to all sorts of problems from heal tacks poking through soles to having bumps inside from things like rubber bands being in the cork cement under the sole. Wrong or poor stitching. I'm sure some are great but most are garbage except the ones that where being imported they always seemed better made.
HH brown makes double H, Corcoran, Matterhorn, Carolina, Walkovers, fireman, but a majority of them are made in other places mainly Mexico and China. We would get 500 cases a day of from each and the factory in the usa produced under 200 cases a day.
hey Lance, thanks for your video. I really appreciate it. I am looking for some simple easy boots for a low to medium budget. I am not a cowboy. I just live in texas for some time and like the style of them and want to buy some before I fly back to my country. Can you suggest me something please
I've a far smaller collection at seven pairs, and it's been my experience that it's far easier to pay for 'tooled', full grain calf skin that 'portrays' a reptile pattern, yet allows for ease of care. Very few ever ask if, "They're really whatever kind of skin." Questions regard how much they cost, how they fit, and if it took a long time to break them in.
Just about every pair of boots sold and worn down here in Texas are square toes. They are extremely popular, especially with the actual ranch workers and Cowboys because of the extra toe room
If you don't have a ton of boots like this and are looking for your first "real" pair of boots, get Red Wing Iron Rangers. Every man should have a pair.
I have several pair of boots, maybe a few more, but only because I don’t throw boots away that I ain’t wearing anymore due to being uncomfortable or maybe they just worn out. But I generally have one pair of work, meaning outside rough, get em dirty boots, one pair of decent work boots for rodeo, or horseback riding, then another a bit cleaner for work but calling on clients, etc… Then my clean pair for church or going out - dressier boots. But I don’t have the income to accumulate the quantity you have laid out there. Usually i get my moneys worth out of a pair of boots before i eventually retire them, but as much as I love cowboy boots, I’m finding it more & more difficult to wear them or find a pair that’s comfortable enough to wear for an 8-10-12 hour work day, then possibly having to wear another few hours to go to dinner or an event. So I’ve been searching for some more comfortable brands, or styles…. All that being said- I just can’t bring myself to spend $6-$7-$800+ on a pair of boots.🫣🤯 I’ve spend less than that for several cars I’ve purchased in the past.
Any advice on boots for people with big calves I'm 6'4 350 the top of the boots always poke through my jeans because of my calves? Do I just need bigger jeans?

I like boots but who plans to get 3 to 6 pairs? Lol it kinda just happened for me, 5 pairs deep haha
I was starting to feel guilty about my 50+ cowboy boot collection until I watched your video, THANK YOU !!!
I have always used Lemon Pledge on my snakeskin boots. Have a pair that are over 30 years old and still look great.
I used that on my combat boots😯
I have heard that never tried- thanks for the tip
On some consuela shit
Absolutely! We like to say in our store, just play. Try them on. You don’t choose the boot, the boot chooses you. :-)
A very respectable collection! I saw a few pairs that I need to add to mine.
I bought my Double H 5400s in Amarillo a couple years ago. Was going to have them re-soled the next summer(last summer) but didn't need to. Planned on doing it this summer but I might be in for another year. These soles are indestructible. Worn every day besides winter and the Bison leather smell has me hooked.
Those things are crazy. A lot of times you will wear the tops out first.

I absolutely fell in love with traditional square toe boots and my favorite brands fenoglio. I’ve never found a better boot brand than theirs
Fenoglio is the latest incarnation of Nocona Boots.
I would recommend Saphir Reptan conditioner or Bickmore Exotic for your reptile boots. Bick 4 is best for smooth, non oil based leathers.
good to know sir
@@Lance_Dalewhy not
Love it!! Definitely learned a lot! I also think you need another pair or 20.
Super nice boot collection and thanks so much for the infos! Gonna buy Bick 4 right now!
I wanna start wearing boots but everytime I do people ask me why am I dressed like a cowboy💀
Just ignore them. However, easy for me to say thought because I live in Texas and nobody questions when wearing cowboy boots.
Who cares what others think if you like them that's all that matters
I got some reasonably priced with steel toes, rubber soles. I’m a welder in the northeast..They have replaced my work boots.
Embrace it

Then my clean pair for church or going out - dressier boots.
But I don’t have the income to accumulate the quantity you have laid out there.
Usually i get my moneys worth out of a pair of boots before i eventually retire them, but as much as I love cowboy boots, I’m finding it more & more difficult to wear them or find a pair that’s comfortable enough to wear for an 8-10-12 hour work day, then possibly having to wear another few hours to go to dinner or an event.
So I’ve been searching for some more comfortable brands, or styles….
All that being said-
I just can’t bring myself to spend $6-$7-$800+ on a pair of boots.🫣🤯
I’ve spend less than that for several cars I’ve purchased in the past.
I usually add an additional insole to the one that came with his- seems to help me plus I have a skinny foot and that helps
Any advice on boots for people with big calves I'm 6'4 350 the top of the boots always poke through my jeans because of my calves? Do I just need bigger jeans?
Yessir. Find a boot that has low cuts on the tops, Tony llama has some. And get boot cut jeans.
Hyer has some coming out with a lower shaft. Or classic height shaft can be stretched out depending how much.
