Category Archives: Cowboy Boots

Today Taylor and I inseamed our boots, which means hand-sewing the welt onto the boot. The welt is a narrow strip of leather that will hold the sole stitching.

Taylor’s boots are lasted and the toe has been put in.

Taylor has just finished lasting her boots and wiping all of the wrinkles out of the heel area.

Taylor and I are getting ready to put our boots on the last. She won’t be able to try them on again until they’re finished.

Taylor sideseamed her boots today and turned them right side out, then decided to go ahead and try them on. Soles and heels optional…

My client who ordered the cowboy boot shoes is happy! (I can tell happy feet when I see them.)

These are some of the pieces that will become a part of Taylor’s boots. Her boot top with the foot sewn on is in the back of the image.

Taylor wanted to take a picture that included all of the pieces that will make up the boot top and foot so she carefully laid all of the pieces out on the work bench.

Taylor stitched her boot tops this morning and did a fine job.
