Buckshot Bear Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Been looking and looking for tall leather boots online and can't find anything. What do you wear and where did you get them? I'm after something like what's in the pics below, but more 'maybe' civil war looking(?) What is the correct term for boots like these I should be searching for?

Hendo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Ya might try here... https://www.ebay.com/str/isutler or the second pair you pictured.... https://stores.worknranch.com/mens-boots/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I've seen the top pair referred to as "stove-pipe" tops, and the bottom pair in your pic are generally considered "mule-ear" boots. Taller boots with riding heels are often referred to as "buckaroo" style boots. Boots with a higher front than rear are one type of "cavalry" boot. You'll probably find more selections with custom makers than the big name makers. But, be careful... not all custom makers are worthy of the name...

Frybread Fred Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I will say they were a little hard on the feet, however a pair of Ariat boot insoles solved that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two pairs of boots I threw away without regret in a long life were Ariat - never another pair. There are all sorts of sources for insoles, including custom. Key point is to buy boots that fit from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I am not a hard core cowboy, nor do I wear them every day. Mostly for my new found hobby. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added Tresso nipples to my Pietta Armies and am having decent luck. Wish Remington #10 were available but no luck finding any so far. The slixsix nipples don’t work very well on my guns with the CCI caps. Maybe someone will make a quality nipple for the CCI #11 caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have slix and more Remmi #10s then you will be able to get thru while you are here (check on what you are allowed to carry on the plane, I am sure I can spare you a few tins if you want). I have also copied your loading technique so I have the fibre wads lubed up with Bees wax and Crisco.

Kid Rich Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The Boulet boots are great, bout the only thing I wear for SASS and I shoot almost every weekend. Very comfortable. For regular foot wear I have to have custom inserts. My pair of Boulets have been resoled and reheeled and are going to need it again before to long. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint on the Abilenes is that the shafts are a bit big around the calf. 18 hours ago, Major Crimes said: There are a few on ebay but they all look like overseas companies?

I have a pair of Civil War cavalry boots and they aren't bad for the price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
