I’ve been having fun designing for shoe quarters. Cowboy boot tops have a very specific shape, and I’ve designed for cowboy boots for so long that I thought of it as a language–the only language I was capable of comprehending or speaking. It’s been interesting to challenge myself with a new shape and a new vocabulary.
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.
