I'm a custom cowboy boot maker. I own a business, Sorrell Custom Boots, and I create bespoke cowboy boots using vintage machinery and hand tools. I also own www.sorrellnotionsandfindings.com, a company that specializes in tools, supplies, and leather for the boot and shoe making trade.
Actually, I used the prototype of a last I’m developing for this style of shoe. I made myself one pair on a straight cowboy boot last and realized it needed some modifications. The new last is a cowboy boot last in the front but I’ve altered the heel and sides of the cone to become a shoe last, so it fits correctly in the heel.
Cool! Thank you for your explanation. I’ll be looking forward to watching your developments … and hoping to purchase your new last in the future! Keep being awesome – you truly are an inspiration!
Cool! I love these!
Thank you!
Love, love, love! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing. Did you use a cowboy boot last or a shoe last?
Love, love, love ❤️! You are such an inspiration – thank you for sharing! Did you use a cowboy boot last or a shoe last for these beautiful shoes?
It’s a hybrid that I’ve been designing. The heel area is shaped like a shoe last so it fits properly, and the forepart is a cowboy boot.
