Book Description

November 1, 2004

A collectible and fun little book on America's most fashionable footwear, Cowboy Boots is a close up look at the veritable trunk show of some of the most impressive cowboy boot designs from the most prestigious and famed bootmakers in the world, and is small and handy enough to carry with you when you're shopping for that next pair! From detail shots of stitching, to a focus on the design elements like flowers, steer heads, horses, crosses, initials, hearts, cacti, and horseshoes, there is plenty of quality craftsmanship to ogle over.

A great little idea book to have handy if you're a collector, a fan of the craftsmanship or in the market for a new pair.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Cowboy Boots is a tribute to America's most-recognized icon.More than 400 unique and sublime custom-made boots dizzy and dazzle the eye with their dropdead designs. From clean and simple lines to elaborate overlaid, inlaid, pinched, tooled, stitched, embroidered, and bejeweled gems, these boots are way over the top!

Whether you reside deep in the heart of Texas or in the concrete canyons of Manhattan, cowboy boots put your best foot forward.

Tyler Beard is a native Texan, so, naturally, grew up in a boots-and-hat environment. At age three, he received his first pair of red-and-green Christmas boots, a gift from his parents-"the pair that started it all." Tyler and his wife, Teresa, are considered the foremost experts on AmericanWest style. Tyler is the author of Lone Star Living: Texas Homes and Ranches (2003).

JimArndt is a nationally recognized advertising and editorial photographer. He maintains studios in Santa Fe and Minneapolis and shoots for clients such as Wrangler, Chevrolet, and Harley-Davidson. His personal work has also been exhibited in galleries in Santa Fe, Taos, and Austin. He continues to travel the West, working on his personal photos and collecting cowboy boots.

As the world's leading authorities on the cowboy boot, Tyler and Jim have collaborated on The Cowboy Boot Book (1992), 100 Years of WesternWear (1993), and Art of the Boot (1999).

5.0 out of 5 stars Cowboy boots are way better than bad sex!, January 7, 2007
This review is from: Cowboy Boots (Paperback)
This book is so fun! My passion for cowboy boots started several years ago, but it hasn't been till recently that I started paying for the best. This book is better than bad sex for sure! The craftsmanship that goes into some of those books is amazing. Every page is like a new piece of tantalizing candy. I love it so much that I show it off at my restaurant in Seattle for all to enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the stack., January 1, 2007
This review is from: Cowboy Boots (Paperback)
Cowboy Boots picks up where Tyler & Jim's "Art of the Boot" leaves off. This book has more than 51 known makers, and nearly 400 pairs of cowboy boots... all photographed in crisp detail by Jim Arndt. Wow.

Here are just a couple of the very speical pairs:

Page 143. "The Mexican" is a remarkable pair of boots made by the El Paso company called Tres Outlaws. Your eye is naturally drawn to the 22 rare Mexcian coins inlayed across the pair...but what is more astounding is to discover that the tooling pattern on this "matching pair" each completely different on the right and left boot. The difference is difficult to detect because the design is so well balanced. An amazing tribute to the rich history and culture of Mexico.

Page 25. "Ray Jones Boots 1960-1970s with Eagle Inlay." Ray Jones was famous for the "plain" stitched boots he made for working cowboys. These boots show us another side of this maker's skill.

This book's small size lends itself to endless page flipping. After 3 years, I'm still inspired by the boots I find inside.
