Just wanted to share my new to me boots :D

Cody James auntenthic Python, got them from ebay for $180 plus shipping, they are literally new with tags still on them and soles doesn't even have scratches.

Just a little bit difficult to get them on, but once in they feel so perfect haha will try to stretch them out a little bit wearing them at home

Yep. Slightly addictive. Finished these two this morning. The Rujos required a little dye when the sanding occurred. The tan boots are Tony Lama 6003’s.

About 13 months of casual wear with these guys and I still love them. Probably about time to condition the shafts. The color isn't for everyone I'm sure but I dig orange. 🤷

Arnold Neal hooked me up!

Gorgeous t🐢’s and some super clean 🐘! Two bucket list boots in one transaction! Thank You!

Wearing a poshmark score Justin ostrich. Note: I have NEVER been a fan of full quill ostrich. I have also never been a fan of “pecan” or “gold” boots. These though, caught my eye with the multiple piece vamp, subdued quills and patina. Just may be in love and got them for a song.

Headed out of town to travel and walking the airport like, “here comes the hot-stepper.” Happy Wednesday everyone!

Leddy Vaquero "distressed" gray goats today. Very soft and comfortable

Lucchese gators. Thanks to Nashville Booted for a great deal. Promptly applied some Saphir and they are better than I expected!

Brown Stallion croc belly.

a chuck's boots exclusive.

I recently bought vintage Justin triads that were listed as being alligator belly. Thanks to my buddy, u/mydoglit, for finding these for me. Looking at the scaling and scutes in the photos, I knew immediately that they weren’t alligator belly. Now that I have the boots in my hands, these are definitely sea turtles, and these are going to be my first sea turtles too. As the photos show, they’re in a little rough state, especially one boot’s heel stack that are going to require more than just heel cap replacements. The turtle leather is dry and needs deep conditioning, which I’m doing an overnight conditioning wrap as I type this. They’ll needs some polish work as well, but this is what they look like for now. I’ll post the some results in the next few days, when I complete some restoration steps.

I just bought my first pair online from Ariat, handmade caimans. I've worn them around the house for about 10mins, and they left thr top of my feet red and sore..

Is this a fit issue or do they just need to be broken in？

Also… these things are hot as hell😂. Is that normal for all boots?

They folded them in half. Then compressed them with stuffing. For 4 shipping days. It's not like they're vintage Lucchese alligators (L6309, #2 Toe/#4Heel, can't tell if '93 or '98) or anything. Thanks for the creases amigo!

Spent my lunch hour brushing them off, wiping them down and applied Bick 4 to the shaft and Bick Exotic on the vamp. I left them lightly stuffed with paper bags until I got home then buffed them & wore them around the house for about an hour. Looks like they rebounded some. Going to Al's Handmade Boots this weekend for a full restoration.

I haven’t seen many people post about the Chisos No.7 boots, and I haven’t ever seen anyone post a pic of the Lizards so here they are. They’re absolutely beautiful. I wear a 10.5 EE in their regular boots but I had to order these in 10.5D. For starters, they’re on the smaller side and I definitely feel how much more narrow they are in the standard width.

Fitment wise its a non-starter. I couldnt even zip them up which is a bummer since I really wanted to keep these. Anyhow, quality is on par with the rest of their line up. I may ask for a size larger but it didn’t look like they had anything else in stock. If I can somehow get a larger pair I’ll let everyone know how they feel.

First pair of Mexico made. Already perfectly worn in for me 👌🏼 heel cup is perfectly shaped around my foot, ready to wear! One of the best things about second hand boots along with saving the planet 😅
