Last week I was in El Paso, Texas visiting my sister. While I was there we went and visited Rocketbuster Boots.
Originally we went there to see the worlds largest pair of cowboy boots. The boots are five feet tall and beautifully made. Go to their website site and check out the story of the boots, rocketbuster.com
The real story at Rocketbuster is the custom boots they make. Each pair is made by hand specifically to fit a person’s foot. While we were there they were working on a pair of boots for someone who had an average size ankle, but a pretty big calf. I know we have had several people making socks who had the same problem! My sister and I not only had a chance to meet with the owner, who was lovely, but also with a couple of the other creaters of these spectacular boots.
Taylor and Gabe were placing real crystals onto a pair of boots while we were there, the boots cost somewhere around $3500. You can also see Taylor’s boots off the the left, they are handpainted. Once again I encourage you to check out their website, the boots are unbelievable works of art, rocketbuster.com. Wouldn’t it be great to have a custom pair of boots made with a sparkling ball of yarn on them, or maybe a skein of handpainted yarn!
great post and images! i am learning to build cowboy boots so seeing this is pretty cool. thanks for sharing
