Rep Power: 8 ![]() | It has been eons since I was on the forum, but I recently found a guy in California who custom makes HH Cowboy boots. I have a piar of Western Ranch custom boots with a 3" high heel. I ordered a pair from this new maker since my WR Boots after two re-sole-ings are just about goners. The new pair will have a J-toe and a 3.5 inch heel. THey are in the mail, and when they arrive, I'll post some pics. But the maker already has some 4 inch heel boots, and just had a new "Last" made for Cow bOy boots with a 5.5 inch heel. When I have some more information I'll pass it along. Good Luck and Happy Heeling!!! tightlevisandhhboots |

Rep Power: 12 ![]() | I'm looking forward to seeing them. A couple makers have come along since WR closed their doors, but they've always been a disappointment. I've got a pair of Paul Bond boots on order right now, but I don't expect them until January. Bond is just about the only current maker who is both willing to go over 2 inches and can actually do a good job. |

Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Thanks!! I will reprot on comfort and quality when they come in, but with a 3.5 inch heel cowboy boot for only $159, I guess I can't complain too bad. I hope I do this right... But here is my album with some of my favorite HH Cowboy boots. THe one on the cover of the album is very similar to the pair I ordered, and is from the same maker.

Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Thanks for your pictures and info regarding HH CowOhBoy Boots. Onyourtoes, What model did you get from Paul Bond and how high a heel did you order? Western Boots style are great for wearing around and much more acceptable. Look for to hearing more from your maker tightlevisandhhboots. Mtnsofheels |

Rep Power: 8 ![]() | These are my new boots that are actually Made in Mexico, but are of very nice quality. There are at least as nice as my Western Ranch Boots even though my Western Ranch Boots were actually tailor made to my feet, and these were just made by size alone. I wore these last night right after they arrived by UPS and they are very comfotable and fit very nicely right out of the box. The finish is very nice, though I will add a few coats of polish to help preserve the finish. But for the price I am EXTREMELY happy! They are made by Miguel Jones, and his boots are listed on e-bay. I have just asked him to build me another pair with a 4.5 inch heel. It did take a few months to get my boots, so be patient with him, but the boots are FANTASTIC!!! Simple, yet elegant and are high heel, but don't look out of proportion at all to me. I hope you like the pictures that I posted above. There are 9 new pics of my new boots. I have not even added a layer of polish yet. His e-bay store is; http://stores.ebay.com/id=391924077&...STRK:MEFSX:SST |

I ordered them in all red with gray trim, 16 inch tops, 2A toes, and 3 1/2 inch heels. That's measured along the side seam, so the heels will probably measure a bit taller at the back -- I think my last pair hit around the 4 inch mark. Being red, with those heels and toes, they're not exactly stealth heels. My last pair of Bonds got a lot of public wear before they were stolen, and these will be for street wear, too -- ceptin' when they're in my safe deposit box | |

Rep Power: 3 ![]() | Hi, I've fallen in love with these --> http://www.hhplace.org/album.php?alb...pictureid=1718 !! Would you tightlevisandhhboots reveal who's the maker of these and is there any chance that i or anyone else could get similar ones? (Don't worry too much if these are not then unique any more, i'd be walking in them almost in the opposite side of the World from you Happy Heeling k6ps |

Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Western Ranch Boots was the maker. They still have a web page... http://www.westernranchboots.net/high-heels.htm Though contact is sketchy, and even when I ordered my 3 inch heel pair, it took like 4 months to get them, with lots of time between e-mails. I thought i had lost my money, but I eventually got my boots. That was over 5 years ago (maybe closer to 8 or 9years). Hope this helps. Tightlevisandhhboots |
