Thanks! Larger Flickr version here, where you can still see the stamped "1883" on the sole.
Growing up in the 50s and 60s, when movie and TV westerns defined masculinity with the role of the cowboy, I also have a thing for cowboy boots. For most of my life, I've had at least one pair (which I would wear every so often), but having a "collection" and wearing them regularly is something that I only took up in the last five years or so. It's probably a way of re-affirming my virility as I get older, but I just like the way they look and feel. ;-{D
