Again, I am finding myself apologizing for not keeping up with this blog. One may think that since I retired and am pretty much staying home to reduce exposure to the Covid-19 virus, I would have more time to write on this blog.
One would think…. however, my days lately have been consumed with…

Someone wrote to me recently to ask,
I live in California. Why am I unable to order python boots from Tecovas?”
Well, your state’s legislature …

All day yesterday, I was in meetings in our county seat, with representatives of several departments (Planning, Environmental Protection, Permitting, and Fire/Rescue) to review adjustments to the build-out of the building for one of the fire stations that make up the three in the fire department on which I serve as President (of the volunteer side of this combined department.)
I know… kind of a mouthful. Thus you have it when…

I have become a fan of Tecovas Boots. I seldom rave about boots or the companies that make them, but in this case, Tecovas has earned an exception and my respect. (BTW, this post is my own; I was not offered anything in exchange for what I am about to say… read on!)
Back in February 2017, I bought my first pair of Tecovas boots — regular calfskin boots with a round toe.
These boots arrived quickly and…

As some people, including me, have said over time — it takes guts to wear certain articles of clothing out in public, especially if others are not accustomed to seeing you wearing such items such as boots and/or leather garments (besides a leather jacket.)
I cannot tell you how many people have written to me or searched this blog about “men wearing boots to the office / church / in general.” Same goes for wearing leather pants or jeans, which I wrote about in my last blog post.
The general gist of these questions have been concerns about…

Once again, I bit the advertising promo from Tecovas Boots and bought myself as an early birthday present a pair of their new line of American Alligator Belly cowboy boots.
I had my eye on Alligator Belly boots for a long time, but prices for them by some other companies, especially Lucchese, were astronomical.
But when I received an unexpected check for royalties from a book I wrote a long time ago, that happened to be exactly the cost of a new pair of Tecovas Alligator Boots… well…

I received a very interesting (to me) email the other day that at first I thought would be an easy answer, but as I thought about it, I found it to be quite challenging. So I thought I would turn to you, loyal readers, for your opinion. The question was…

Being interested in boots (okay, I know that is an understatement), I see a lot of advertising and marketing for boots. So today for National Boots Day (whoda thunk?), I am asking a genuine question for boot enthusiasts: “who in the heck…”

Despite Old Man Winter struggling to hang on, at least in the upper Midwestern USA today where up to 15 inches of snow is in the forecast, down here in the Mid-Atlantic, Spring has arrived. Sure, we will have some cool days and nights, but we also are having more warmer days with bright sunshine, flowers, and tons of motorcycles on the roads! Woo-hoo!
So what boots are on my feet in Spring?

I received an email from a regular reader of this blog who said, “I would love for you to talk about how your love for boots has changed over the years, from childhood to now.”
Well, okay… it is rather boring, but I’ll bite…
