tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hi All, It has been eons since I was on the forum, but I recently found a guy in California who custom makes HH Cowboy boots. I have a piar of Western Ranch custom boots with a 3" high heel. I ordered a pair from this new maker since my WR Boots after two re-sole-ings are just about goners. The new pair will have a J-toe and a 3.5 inch heel. THey are in the mail, and when they arrive, I'll post some pics. But the maker already has some 4 inch heel boots, and just had a new "Last" made for Cow bOy boots with a 5.5 inch heel. When I have some more information I'll pass it along. Good Luck and Happy Heeling!!! tightlevisandhhboots
onyourtoes Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I'm looking forward to seeing them. A couple makers have come along since WR closed their doors, but they've always been a disappointment. I've got a pair of Paul Bond boots on order right now, but I don't expect them until January. Bond is just about the only current maker who is both willing to go over 2 inches and can actually do a good job.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks!! I will reprot on comfort and quality when they come in, but with a 3.5 inch heel cowboy boot for only $159, I guess I can't complain too bad. I hope I do this right... But here is my album with some of my favorite HH Cowboy boots. THe one on the cover of the album is very similar to the pair I ordered, and is from the same maker.

mtnsofheels Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for your pictures and info regarding HH CowOhBoy Boots. Onyourtoes, What model did you get from Paul Bond and how high a heel did you order? Western Boots style are great for wearing around and much more acceptable. Look for to hearing more from your maker tightlevisandhhboots. Mtnsofheels
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 These are my new boots that are actually Made in Mexico, but are of very nice quality. There are at least as nice as my Western Ranch Boots even though my Western Ranch Boots were actually tailor made to my feet, and these were just made by size alone. I wore these last night right after they arrived by UPS and they are very comfotable and fit very nicely right out of the box. The finish is very nice, though I will add a few coats of polish to help preserve the finish. But for the price I am EXTREMELY happy! They are made by Miguel Jones, and his boots are listed on e-bay. I have just asked him to build me another pair with a 4.5 inch heel. It did take a few months to get my boots, so be patient with him, but the boots are FANTASTIC!!! Simple, yet elegant and are high heel, but don't look out of proportion at all to me. I hope you like the pictures that I posted above. There are 9 new pics of my new boots. I have not even added a layer of polish yet. His e-bay store is; http://stores.ebay.com/id=391924077&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SST
hoverfly Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 How about a link to him? Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
onyourtoes Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for your pictures and info regarding HH CowOhBoy Boots. Onyourtoes, What model did you get from Paul Bond and how high a heel did you order? Western Boots style are great for wearing around and much more acceptable. Look for to hearing more from your maker tightlevisandhhboots. Mtnsofheels The style is 37A-Apache Junction. You can see them in their catalog here. I ordered them in all red with gray trim, 16 inch tops, 2A toes, and 3 1/2 inch heels. That's measured along the side seam, so the heels will probably measure a bit taller at the back -- I think my last pair hit around the 4 inch mark. Being red, with those heels and toes, they're not exactly stealth heels. My last pair of Bonds got a lot of public wear before they were stolen, and these will be for street wear, too -- ceptin' when they're in my safe deposit box

k6ps Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Hi, I've fallen in love with these --> http://www.hhplace.org/album.php?albumid=142&pictureid=1718 !! Would you tightlevisandhhboots reveal who's the maker of these and is there any chance that i or anyone else could get similar ones? (Don't worry too much if these are not then unique any more, i'd be walking in them almost in the opposite side of the World from you ) Happy Heeling k6ps
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Western Ranch Boots was the maker. They still have a web page... http://www.westernranchboots.net/high-heels.htm Though contact is sketchy, and even when I ordered my 3 inch heel pair, it took like 4 months to get them, with lots of time between e-mails. I thought i had lost my money, but I eventually got my boots. That was over 5 years ago (maybe closer to 8 or 9years). Hope this helps. Tightlevisandhhboots
sendra45 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 http://stores.ebay.com/id=391924077&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SST Jones Boots Miguel Jones LA CA and Mexico They make some fantastic boots, the 22 inch boots are on my shopping list, they have them in my size for £100 + shipping, that is very reasonable. Fantastic. The angels have the phonebox.
wood&metal Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I spotted the same ebay seller a few weeks ago.. I'll be ordering a pair, most likely around the holidays... Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 Miguel is really nice, and his english is pretty good, but don't get discouraged when you custom boots take a while to make. Mine took over 2 months, but they were worth the wait, and were exactly what I had specified. Pictures work better than words for him, so if you have any ideas, use words and pictures, and you will get exactly what you want! I was very happy! Good luck, tightlevisandhhboots
davek Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I agree with tightlevisandhhboots - I photoshopped a pair of his boots from ebay because I was looking for a western mule. I sent him the picture - took about four weeks for him to complete, quality and fit is excellent. I sent him some other pics of some Mark Nason Siren boots and he's in the process of making them. Can't wait!
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 davek, Do you have that pic of the new boots? Would be interested in seeing it. My new 4.5 inch heel cowboy boots are a little more $$ ($265) but if he nails the design, they will be real showstoppers!! They will be Black with Black-Cherry accents in a shiney leather close to patent, but not quite. tightlevisandhhboots
tightlevisandhhboots Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 Here is a picture of the inspiration for my new 4.5 inch heel boots. http://www.hhplace.org/picture.php?albumid=142&pictureid=1766 But mine will be more black-cherry accents than red accents. Comments on my choice? Heel will be similar to this: http://www.hhplace.org/picture.php?albumid=142&pictureid=1718
davek Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 If I did the images right.... These are the mules I just received: The boots I'm having made are these minus the decorative band:
mtnsofheels Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Cool stuff you guys, Thanks for getting pictures and links for all of these great Cow-Oh-Boy Boots. Dang, the wish list grows by the moment here! Hope to get a pair for the New Year. Mtnsofheels

NH Heels Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Prutske255, while your avatar pic is pretty small those boots look absolutely incredible. Do you own that pair and if so how high is the heel?

onyourtoes Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 In mid-September I ordered a pair of Paul Bond boots with 3 1/2 inch heels. Sounds not too high for us, except they measure heel height at the side seam, so they'll probably be pushing 4 1/2. I had asked for a chunky work-heel shape, but they called today and said they built them but the boots have turned into a pair of heels with tiny boots attached. They sent a photo, and I had to agree so modified the photo and sent it back. They kept commenting on how high the heels are, but I've seen a few other pairs of their boots with similar heels. Also the photo shows no toe spring, but they said the last is still in the boots in the photo and that's what's causing that up on the toe look. The photos are as made and the proposed modification, and the heels and soles are rough and unshaped here. I should have them in a couple weeks, I can't wait!
jwhite44 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I see some black lines around the perimeter of the heel, but I don't know what that's supposed to represent. I'd say the light color of the heel doesn't help any to minimize their appearance. Will that be the final color? A dark brown, blending perhaps to black towards the rear of the heel, could help to do that (if it's what you'd want to do).
roniheels Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Those are great! I wear high heeled cowboy boots to work consistantly. I would love to have a pair like those.
onyourtoes Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I see some black lines around the perimeter of the heel, but I don't know what that's supposed to represent. It's just a line I drew to see how the heels will look after trimming and finishing. They will be dark brown along with the sole edge.
Prutske255 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Hello NH Heels ; I'm having those boots !! They have a heel 15 cm high but in black . The brand is OMANO and are made in Spain . I have pictures from ebay auction with a brown heel . If someone is interrested i will post them . Greetings ; Prutske255
tightlevisandhhboots Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 Well, I finally recieved my custom boots. Heel is just over 4 inches, not quite the 4.5 I had hoped for, but still ver nice!! He has a picture of them on his e-bay custom boot add, and I have taken a few and put in my album. Please let me know what you all think of them! Thanks, Tightlevisandhhboots
