Yep
OT - I need black boots.

It’s been a few years
I want to say my smooth ostrich skin were $1200ish. The full quill were over $2k. That was 5 or so years ago, so the prices may have increased.
You pay half when you order and the other half when they are ready (12 months+).
[edit -- i have no idea where there are so many quotes in this post, but I'll leave it....]
Never knew Wolverine to work with a partner, but that's a cool name, at least. What's his superpower?
EDIT: I'm imagining the answer is, "Super-fast at digging post-holes."

Darn baylor!
There's a long list of boots in that place I couldn't afford.
The guys said Ostrich is one of the softest leathers and also one of the toughest leathers. Safe bet.
He did tell a story about a dude dropping a boatload on some exotic but soft leather (against Leddy's warnings). The first day he wore them he kicked the underside of his desk and cut them.

$4,000 on three pairs of shoes?
Fair. But they last a lifetime. At least that’s how I justified it.

It wasn't me. Although if the last word ended in y instead of s, it might have made a more interesting topic.
By the way, the best pair of boots I ever wore were Acme.

Are your shoes made of plastic?

If you can wait 12 months or so, go to Leddy’s. My simple black French calf boots with TCU in purple on the uppers were “only” $800-ish five years ago, fully custom.
Now my wife’s full crocodiles are another story altogether......but they are magnificent, so there is that.....

I bought my first (only) boots the first week I moved from the Northeast down to FW my Freshman year. I mean I was full on Billy Crystal City Slickers, I think I was even wearing a Mets hat. Went to the Stockyards, I think the place was (is?) called Finchers, undoubtedly overpaid....but I still have them and wear them regularly. Had to get them re-soled once, but other than that they are probably the second nicest pair of shoes I own, outside of my formal shoes.
