If you want to read up a little more on Tony Lama, here’s a great link. A practice many boot makers still use today. One thing that Tony Lama is attributed is the process of creating handmade boots in greater quantity. It didn’t take long and western wear stores started asking him for his custom-made handmade boots. The biggest part of his business was of course repairs, but he started making boots here and there and people absolutely loved them! If you think about it, I’ve never heard a bad word against Italian made shoes. When he got out, he stuck around and opened a shoe and boot repair shop (naturally). After that he joined the Calvary (insert bugle charge) and was stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas. He was shoemaker’s apprentice in New York. Lol, you aren’t really gonna see that happening in today’s world. A pair of these boots will definitely elevate you in the cowboy community so to speak lol.Ĭlick Above Image To See Some Spectacular Tony Lama Bootsįrom what I read, Tony started in the leather and boot trade as an 11 year old.
