Arctic Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Western Ranch used to make them on order. They cost $500-600 but all things considered it may be worth it. Since WR isn't among us any more, there aren't too many options... I'm actually thinking of a pair too. B What's all the fuss about?
onyourtoes Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Western Ranch has reincarnated at www.westernranchboots.NET. A couple of people from another group have ordered them and been happy with the results. To me, however, their pay in advance, no credit cards policy scares me a bit.

A couple of people from another group have ordered them and been happy with the results. To me, however, their pay in advance, no credit cards policy scares me a bit. I purchased a custom fit pair of boots last December from Western Ranch . I too worried about the prepayment but all went well. I now have a great pair of wonderfully made boots. The cost was a bit over $300.00 but I feel it was well worth it. Jim

Dawn HH Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I wouldn't mind seeing those pics myself. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Jimnj3 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Ok, Here is another picture of the Western Ranch boots I had made. Jim
Arctic Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Nice! What are the specs? B What's all the fuss about?
Dawn HH Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Jimnj3:-) Now that is one of the finest pair of cowboy boots that I have ever seen. I too, would like to know the details on them. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
dr1819 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Sweet! I wonder what they would feel like. I wonder if they would ever make them in my size...
Bubba136 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 i bet they would since they are, as I understand it, custom made. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Yes Jim! I am wanting any and all specs, as those are very similar to my current pair, but have the heel a bit higher, like I have been considering ordering from them. Also how long did your order take to fill? Thanks again, TightLevisandHHBoots
Jimnj3 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 The boots I had made are 18.5" tall with a 3" heel. The leather is extremely soft and very comfortable. They had already made boots available from what I remember but I wanted mine to fit perfectly. I also wanted to pick the style and heel. I e mailed back and forth along with talking by phone. Everyone was quite helpful. I downloaded the fit chart and measured both of my feet as requested. After choosing the style boot and heel along with the measurments I was quoted a price with shipping. After sending the payment in advance,which did concern me, it took a little over a month to receive them. Again, I was very happy with the outcome.. Jim Here is the link from a previous post. Hope it works out. http://www.westernranchboots.net/
Dawn HH Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Jimnj3:-) Thanks for the boot up-date. Much appreciated. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Bubba136 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Yes, thanks for the update. What kind of reaction have you had when you've worn them outside inpublic -- (although, I would expect there really aren't that conspicious, are they? ) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Now the question would be...does anyone own a pair of thigh high cowboy boots with a 3" heel yet? Those I would like to see a pic or two of. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
tightlevisandhhboots Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks for the update, maybe I can order up a pair for Christmas! If I can find a way to post a pic of mine, I'll share my Western Ranch Boots with everyone. Thanks again TightLevis and HHBoots
Thighbootguy Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Several years ago, before I started wearing stilettos in public, I tried to have the heels a pair of thigh boots with 3" stilettos converted to a western heel. I was never able to find a cobbler that would do it and I tried several. On the assumption that they knew a lot more about shoe construction than I did I never tried doing the work myself. Now I kind of glad the boots still have stiletto heels. I like the looks of the western thigh boots that HighBoots referenced at 6 Inch Heels Forever. Looks like they will custom make the boots and the price looks reasonable but the payment method is a little tough. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
Bubba136 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 I believe I remember some critical comments placed on this board from a member that tried to do business with the firm. I don't recall the exact details but I remember viewing the website from the link they included in their comments. Before I would place an order with these people, I think I would search back through the archived material to see if I couldn't find the previous thread. The effort might just save you a lot of money, not to mention the stress of having to deal with, what might be, a unreputable company -- if they are. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Dawn HH Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Bubba136:-) It seems to me that I recall reading that thread that you are referring to, but the name of the person involved eludes me at this time. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
