These vintage Champion Attitude cowboy boots are a bold representation of custom Western craftsmanship and creative expression. The boots feature dark brown leather shafts adorned with striking inlays of black vines and red tulip-like flowers, giving them an intricate, almost Gothic floral vibe. The detailed inlays are skillfully stitched into the shaft, showcasing the brand’s signature artistic flair. The foot and heel counter are crafted from bright yellow leather, creating a high-contrast, eye-catching combination that makes these boots stand out. The vamp includes subtle decorative stitching, while the narrow, slightly pointed toe maintains the sleek profile typical of mid-century Western boots.

These boots reflect the essence of custom work that Champion Attitude became known for – unapologetically bold designs that pushed the boundaries of traditional Western style. The boots feature a medium-height stacked leather heel with a slightly slanted profile, ensuring both stability and classic Western aesthetics. The leather soles show signs of authentic wear but remain intact, reflecting the durability of high-quality craftsmanship. Inside, the boots display the Champion Attitude Boots stamp, marking them as a product of the legendary El Paso, Texas, bootmaking tradition.

Condition Notes

• Overall Wear: Good vintage condition with signs of wear consistent with age. The yellow leather foot shows natural creasing and scuffs, while the shaft leather remains structurally solid with vibrant inlays.

• Leather: The leather is supple and retains its color well. Minor scuffs and surface abrasions add character to the boots but do not affect functionality.

• Stitching & Construction: All stitching is intact, including the intricate inlay work. The pull straps are secure, and the shaft holds its shape well.

• Soles & Heels: The leather soles are worn but still functional, showing the characteristic marks of hand-pegged and nailed construction. The heels show moderate wear but remain structurally sound.

• Size: Marked Men’s 10.5 D, with a narrow toe box and standard instep.

Champion Attitude History

Champion Attitude Boots (often abbreviated as CABOOTS) originated from a multi-generational family of bootmakers in El Paso, Texas. The family’s bootmaking tradition dates back to the 1920s, with the third generation – Joe “Joey” Sanchez and his wife Priscilla – launching the Champion Attitude brand in the early 1980s. Initially, they began by crafting accessories and gradually moved into creating custom boots known for their bold colors, intricate inlays, and artistic themes.

Champion Attitude’s designs drew inspiration from both traditional Western boot patterns and avant-garde artistic elements, making them popular among musicians, entertainers, and Western enthusiasts alike. Their reputation for unique, handcrafted boots led to a devoted following and recognition as innovators in the world of custom cowboy boots. Each pair was crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often reflecting the wearer’s personality through custom patterns, materials, and bold color combinations – much like the pair shown here. By the 1970s, the foundation for the custom boot aesthetic Champion Attitude became famous for was already being laid, blending tradition with vibrant creativity.

This pair embodies that heritage – a vintage, custom-built expression of Western artistry and craftsmanship.
