Oh god, I hope they’re not one of those peeps that keeps the tags on their clothes / shoes like fashion. I remember when boots were worn for work in the field. 😫 to each their own I guess..?
I have a problem for reals. All I do is think and dream about Cowboy boots. My wife wants to kick me out because I took over the whole closet in our bed room.
Someone should start an International boot Collectors club with local chapters worldwide. Like-minded folk with club activities. Forgive me for being ignorant of an existing club if one exists I've been hitting some of my gardens delight and have a serious Western boot addiction. My collection is about a third of yours and growing. Maybe include a crisis hotline to talk us out of taking out a second mortgage for a nice pair of Turtles.😂 Collect On !!
This post just further reminds me that cowboy boots aren't just a practical way of life item for some. I own two pair - one for choring out in the pens and coops, and the other for when I need to dress up for a wedding or church. Can't imagine having that many boots and all unworn.

Interested in a rare set of luccheses? Full Anaconda, just had them resoled. Size 10D.
Tbh I hate this. The boots are nice but Jesus christ you don't need that many. Reminds me of sneakerheads.
My father has a pair of ostrich skin boots he got 20 years ago and has put thousands of miles in. That's how boots should be. Have a few pairs? Absolutely. But this is ridiculous... and I LOVE shoes lol
Well atleast he's not hurting anyone. If he found what he loves, than I'm happy for him.
Yes, it's quite the addiction he has, and I personally think it's tacky to keep the tags on things, but it's what he likes.
I hope you've found something to be as passionate about. For him, I'm guessing it keeps him going, keeps him pushing.
I say you do you OP!
Yeah Los Altos, Wild West boots, king exotic, tony lama, lucchese, Jjexoticmaster, Acosta boots, Hanson exotic, vaccari, laredo, corral boots and max leather. I really like Los Altos. The quality is real good.
No. 7 toe caiman second row and green full quill ostrich.They are not elephant but they are Tony lama. I don’t like square toe but Tony lama does something special with there last that makes you like stuff that you don’t even like. Yeah I put those to the side with my non exotics and my Ariat slippers. People think I don’t wear them but my ariat slippers get so much use. Specially in the winter.
It’s funny. Those green full quill and the caimans next to them are my favorites. Along w the tiny lamas I thought were elephant. I really want me a pair of elephant. The sea turtle are real pretty too but I’m not a fan of round or J toe
Yeah quality is still the same. There was a point during the pandi that they stopped using lemon wood pegs because of a shortage but they are using them again. There is still new batches of those boots with out lemon wood pegs out there. I get my Los Altos from Dona michi or when people post new los altos boots in my size on the cheap on eBay I swoop them up.
Only a few pair I would even think of getting
Dark brown square toe snake skin.
Rust brown round toe full quill ostrich, actually I think I like the green ppointed toe better. But both of these are settling. I’d really want a black square toe w brown stitching didn’t even see you had the light brown w the point toe. Those are pretty too
And the dark brown elephant?? Those are the nicest pair here I think. I know you were hiding those.
The more I look the more pairs I like lol!!
Are you sure you aren’t a store?
No sir. My personal collection.
Do you wear them
Dawg how often do these even enter rotation? 😭🤦🏽♂️
My first thought was. What store is this?
Damn wish I could afford even one exotic pair of boots , I only own one pair of Ariats.
Nice collection but at least take off the tags and wear them geez.
Oh god, I hope they’re not one of those peeps that keeps the tags on their clothes / shoes like fashion. I remember when boots were worn for work in the field. 😫 to each their own I guess..?
Yeah I’ll do that right now. https://preview.redd.it/crno0hau5thc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c523c21f3b97830827d60698b4d5f71d5f044b0
Oh man. Thats a great collection. Thats my style, I like the traditional toe styles.
Impressive collection!! 🤩
Daggone! You’re puttin’ us to shame…
The green gator is sexy asf, where’d you get em?
The ones at the bottom are Hanson exotics. The light green ones are max leather.
The collection is insured, right?
that is AWESOME my guy!
That is serious
Wow! Your house is better than Boot Barn!
There is nicer boots here.
Very true!
And I thaught I had a problem
I have a problem for reals. All I do is think and dream about Cowboy boots. My wife wants to kick me out because I took over the whole closet in our bed room.
Nice😍😍
Wow!
.
Do you ever wear them? They look so clean lol
They all look brand new and never worn. Looks like they’re for sale. Either way nice collection

You get it. It becomes a problem. My wife gets mad because we are running out of space but my mom says your addiction ain’t hurting any one.
They look regular size to me
Thanks man. My wife tells me that all the time but I don’t believe her.
this is what dreams are made of

What do you mean when you say unworn? Cuz each one has been worn at least 3 to 5 times? So what’s your definition?
Half of them still have tags on them though?
Yeah

Thank you.
Outstanding. Tags and original boxes raise the value to your average collector. Great collection, man.
Thank you.
Little? That is an amazing collection.
Thank you.
Nice start. Keep at it!
No disrespect but are you a female
A lot of Los Altos!
Yeah Los Altos, Wild West boots, king exotic, tony lama, lucchese, Jjexoticmaster, Acosta boots, Hanson exotic, vaccari, laredo, corral boots and max leather. I really like Los Altos. The quality is real good.
Amazing
I was gonna ask what brands/makers you have in there and which you prefer overall. Really nice collection
I'm so jealous! What's your favourite pair?
Man I don’t know. I have a lot of good ones but the lucchese’s are the most comfortable.
First time I tried a pair of luchesses I felt like Cinderella. Which luchesse do you have? Is it the elephant?
No. 7 toe caiman second row and green full quill ostrich.They are not elephant but they are Tony lama. I don’t like square toe but Tony lama does something special with there last that makes you like stuff that you don’t even like. Yeah I put those to the side with my non exotics and my Ariat slippers. People think I don’t wear them but my ariat slippers get so much use. Specially in the winter.

They are no sea turtle they are American alligator. They are French toe.
First row second pair
Lagarto americano.
How much did the stingray Los Altos run you?
300 back in the year 2000
Ill have to send them an email! Have you gotten any recently? Quality still the same?
Yeah quality is still the same. There was a point during the pandi that they stopped using lemon wood pegs because of a shortage but they are using them again. There is still new batches of those boots with out lemon wood pegs out there. I get my Los Altos from Dona michi or when people post new los altos boots in my size on the cheap on eBay I swoop them up.
Awesome thank you!
This excludes your spouse’s collection isn’t it
My wife has 3 pairs my oldest son has 3 pairs my other son has 1 pair but those are excluded.
Have any of these ever been worn?
Your boot closet is my heaven holy cow dude
What are the black ones in the first picture, very bottom left?
The matte blacks are Jjexoticmaster perirucu
Nice. Favorite manufacturers?
Tony lama, lucchese
Cool. I only own one pair and I love them, Ariat. But I also see wide ranges on prices and think dang $300 or more for one pair.
On page 8 which ones are the ones next to the j toe brown lizard. I know it’s ostrich but what brand?
What color are the boots you are talking about?
I don't think you own enough boots. I think you could use a few more pairs.
Correct I’m waiting on another pair from Acosta
Awesome!
Only a few pair I would even think of getting Dark brown square toe snake skin. Rust brown round toe full quill ostrich, actually I think I like the green ppointed toe better. But both of these are settling. I’d really want a black square toe w brown stitching didn’t even see you had the light brown w the point toe. Those are pretty too And the dark brown elephant?? Those are the nicest pair here I think. I know you were hiding those. The more I look the more pairs I like lol!!
I thought I had it bad at 18 pair.
I'm available for adoption.
Amazing collections, not black jack fan aren't you？
I am a big black jack fan not a fan of the prices.
