Men's Sized Boots

1950s Men’s Cowboy Boots – Size 11
A genuine artifact of American westernwear, these mid-century cowboy boots reflect the utilitarian craftsmanship and stylistic identity of postwar America. Rugged yet refined, they offer a glimpse into the working heritage of the American West during a time of transition—when cattle ranching, rodeo culture, and western fashion began to influence the broader American wardrobe.

Historical Features:
• Mid-Century Construction: Crafted in the 1950s, a period when cowboy boots were hand-lasted and bench-made to endure hard labor and long hours in the saddle.
• Two-Tone Leather: Deep oxblood and saddle brown tones in full-grain leather reflect the classic color palette of the era—both practical and eye-catching.
• Cutout Inlays: Cream-colored cross motifs, machine-stitched with precision, signal regional flair often found in Texas or New Mexico bootmakers of the time.
• Traditional Toe and Heel Shape: Narrow rounded toe and slightly underslung heel consistent with working cowboy design—made for both durability and stirrup compatibility.
• Leather Sole with Stitching: Worn but solid, the stitched leather soles and stacked heels bear the imprint of time while remaining structurally sound—hallmarks of mid-20th century bootmaking.
• No Branding Visible: Typical of earlier, smaller-scale makers before mass branding took hold in western footwear manufacturing.

These boots aren’t just vintage—they’re survivors of an American way of life. Ideal for collectors, westernwear enthusiasts, or anyone who values the integrity of original craftsmanship from a time before fast fashion.

• Custom cowboy boots crafted in black suede with a distressed finish for a lived-in appearance
• Classic Western silhouette featuring pointed toes, slanted heels, and pull tabs for easy wear
• Goodyear welt construction with Neolite soles for durability and resoling potential
• Men’s size 10 suitable for broader fits
• Interior lining in natural leather with handwritten production codes for authentic vintage character
• Mid-calf height with subtle scalloped tops and minimal ornamentation beyond the custom embroidery
• Shows signs of wear including scuffs and creases, adding to the boots’ unique patina, benefits, and what makes this product special.
