1970s • TEXAS BOOTS • Butterfly Inlay • Men’s 9 D
Why we love them
Few designs capture the spirit of vintage Western flamboyance like the butterfly inlay. These Texas Boots, made in the USA, feature bold ivory shafts with striking red-and-black butterfly overlays, contrasted against warm chestnut vamps. They carry a mix of artistry and edge—boots made to be noticed whether on the dance floor, honky-tonk stage, or small-town rodeo grounds.

Heritage Notes
By the 1970s, butterfly inlays had become a signature flourish in the Western boot world—partly psychedelic, partly rock ’n’ roll, and always undeniably Western. Texas Boots, though not as mass-produced as Acme or Justin, carved out a loyal following for their bold patterns and solid construction. This pair stands as a perfect example of how cowboy boots blurred the lines between utility and statement piece—heritage leatherwork with a wild streak.
