The only thing I don’t like about very complex designs that extend all around a boot top is the fact that there’s no way to photograph them that shows the entire design. Or perhaps it’s a shrewd way to pique the viewer’s curiosity!

The alligator trim on the boot pulls is the actual leather color. The foot is darker right now because it’s wet.

Also, please note how cleverly I cropped this photo to highlight my collection of Louvin Brothers albums in the background.
