Awhile back I was guiding trails on a pretty snorty horse he was a handfull but was coming around when we got back to the trail head I started helping the group off their horses(as was part of the job) when I noticed my spur felt off fortunately I had a piece of elastic around it to keep it from riding up my boot cause when I checked it the button that holds my straps on was missing. I was able to makeshift a button from an old piece of lace using the same button as one would use to fasten the flap on a chap pocket but that leaves me wondering if anyone else has done this for any amount of time with positive results? If so how long did it hold up for you? I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth keeping (maybe cutting off the remaining metal buttons and making them match as they're older spurs and the leather button seems to not scuff up my boots near as bad)
