Why we love them
These are the kind of boots collectors chase: early Nocona craftsmanship paired with striking lightning-style inlays that feel more folk art than footwear. They tell a story the moment you pick them up—nothing forced, nothing restored beyond recognition. Just real 1950s Texas bootmaking, worn exactly how it should be.
