With a "starting" price of $5,0000 - that personal measuring should apply to more than just feet................................

A BBQ gun for your feet....pass. No cowboys I know are wearing anything like those things. I guess there are lots of super weathly people who like to play dress up and pretend to be cowboys.

She makes some beautiful wearable works of art, although I don't think I would be a customer. I have considered ordering custom made boots for fit reasons but not anything that fancy that would be covered up by my pants leg.


I like her "Top 10 list of things I wish customers knew." I to get in today's world there are things you can't just order on Amazon and have arrive at your doorstep the next day. When you order something custom made, it could take a while.

If you have ever ordered leather from Milt Sparks you know what that means!

She’s a genuine artist. I looked through her portfolio; she’s not building boots for anyone I know.

If it takes her a month of steady work to make a pair of boots, the $5,000.00 price is not out of line.

Does she make boots for men too?

If you can't feel manly wearing these bad boys, then there's something wrong with you.

As Merle Haggard said...

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen

Foot gear for Pop-Country singers.

Not really my style but I respect the skill and effort that went into making those.

Designs are way too busy for my tastes. And way too expensive. Yeah, that too.

All boot, no cattle...or something like that.

Probably popular in Nashville.

I'd wear those in a hot minute.

But these are more my speed: Dan Post Men's 69681 Waterproof Boot

I do have a pair of Acme J-toe boots, made back in the day when Acme was still making a good boot--probably a good 40 years old. And a pair of J. Chisholm J-toes I bought probably 30 years ago.

I'll stick with my hippos for four times less the price and more my style.

Those boots sure are purty, though.

Do these boots have mini jets or hidden wheels that pop out? I'll need some way to get to work after I sell my car to buy some.

Congresswoman Wilson would buy those in a heartbeat. She definitely has the hats to go with them

Maybe she could "allocate" some tax funds for a few pair.

I'm not particularly a fan of blingy boots, but if I already had 10 pairs or so of handmade custom boots, I'd have a pair of blingy ones. Kind of like if I had 15 or 20 vintage and sport bikes, I'd want a Harley.

I sure do appreciate the quality of Lisa's boots. There are a bunch of youtube videos of her building boots, and they are certainly well made. I'd like to see a pair of hers that were plainer brown or brown lizard.
