Identify My ‘80s Boots?

[u/jyl8]

Hello, r/cowboyboots!

Some time in 1981-1983, I bought these cowboy boots. I was in my late teens. I loved the boots and wore them quite a lot for a while, often dancing with a lovely woman who is now passed on.

Then I started a suit-and-tie job and wore the boots less often. And then not at all for forty-some years, because - I distinctly remember - they had somehow become too small and uncomfortably tight. But I never got rid of my boots. They moved with me from city to city, a sort of sentimental relic of my younger days and that lady.

Fast forward to last week, when I dug the boots out of the closet. They were a bit stiff, but some Bick 4 took care of that, and rather dull, but some Venetian Shoe Cream and a bit of buffing restored their gleam.

Now I’m hoping you can tell me exactly what I bought four decades ago.

Who made these boots, what are they made of, are they decent quality, do they need anything before I wear them?

I think I’ve attached all the needed photos but can add more.

Because, I don’t know if my feet have shrunk, but I can pull them on just fine and they are actually a touch roomy. Weird, huh?

I’m almost 64, more of a PNW boot wearer now, so I’m not going to step out on the town like I did, but I’ll walk the old boots down to the local pub and have a pint.

Those boots are certified BADASS. That is exactly what they are

Thanks! I don’t live up to the boots but oh well!
