First Pair Of Work Boots

[Tim Schroeder]

I finally had enough of my feet hurting because of my boots. This is my first pair of boots and am looking forward to making many more. I learned a lot on these and made a lot of mistakes. I can't stitch the welt to the mid sole so I had the local shoe repair guy stitch them up for me. These were really practice for the ones I am building now. They will have Alligator embossed cowhide with tooled uppers. These boots are out of a Kangaroo hide from making a bunch of wallets.

Very impressive. They look great.

The boots look great, but I can't get past your workbench! That thing rocks! Now I have something to aspire to...

Great look boots! I would imagine them being quite difficult to make.

Looks stunning bet it took you a while to make them!

[Rohn]

I am impressed. Those look great. I'm looking forward to seeing you next pair.

Workbench looks great too.

Not only do they look great, they don't look a smidge as if you'd have made them yourself. Very impressive. With the right sole they'd be the perfect rancher work boot.

Wow, that looks great! And I thought I was doin' good, makin' my own moccasins.

I also have workbench envy.

I agree with all the comments here, question is, are they as comfortable as you had hoped when you started? I bet they are.

Good god man, how many hours do you have in those boots. I am truly impressed. I have enough trouble putting a holster or sheath together, I can't even begin to imagine the planning that goes into making a pair of boots. Nice work.
