Durango Gambler boots. When new they had cards embossed on the soles, but most of that has worn away over the years.

This cowboy has a wedgie! His boots are kicking while he's hung up by his undies!

Love these Sendras. The steeply raked heel takes getting used to again. These are my one of my fanciest boots.

An after picture of the suede boots as I started getting them dirty to hide the stain. I was cleaning out drains in the back of the house.

Durango Gambler boots. When new they had card emblems embossed into the soles. Most of that is now worn away as I’ve had these for several years.

Suede Laredo boots. Unfortunately I spilled something on the left toe so I didn’t wear these much. I just started to wear them and get them dirty and worn so they have that worn suede look that is really cool.

Can’t get rid of the snow, so stuck wearing beater boots (old Ariats) instead of nice boots.

Some old Nocona Cowtown boots. These have been around a while and are yard mowing and other dirty work boots now.

Dan Post Deuce boots, another pair with a hint of blue. I really like the look of these boots.

Ariat Heritage Stockman boots. One of my beater boots, but I love the blue stitching on the shafts.

Cowboy wedgie!

Justin Bent Rails. I love the tall white shafts with blue stitching.

Some old tall Chippewa boots

Since it’s cold out, how about a warm memory. My Ariats after 15,000 steps around the Carlisle fairgrounds on a hot July day.

Ariat Heritage Western Round D Toe, distressed brown with some blue stitching .

Black Cherry Tony Lamas, a bit worn but still look great with these gray jeans.

Loving blue with my Ariat Firecatcher boots.

I finally found a pair of the 1980s Acme 5971 eel print boots I’d been looking for in my size. The foot is nice, but the shafts are in bad shape. Anyway they were cheap so I grabbed them. Maybe I’ll find a better pair eventually.

Ariat had a sale where they offered a mystery boot for a sale price. I fell for it and got these Ariat Futurity Cashout boots in Midnight Black and Dark Brick. The gamble paid off for me.

Old vs. barely won. What a difference 7 years of use makes for a pair of boots.
