This Texan five-point,
lone star cowboy boot is right out of John Cubine’s
Coffeyville
,
Kansas
boot shop, in what is known today as the
Coffeyville
style boot. You can find this boot mentioned in: The Log of a Cowboy, by Andy Adams: “Borrowstone swaggered
around camp that evening in a new pair of boots, which had the lone star
set in filigree-work in their red tops.” The
Coffeyville
boot was know to be around by the 1870s and is usually described as not
having a specific right or left foot. This boot was constructed from
unlined, waxed, flesh-side-out leather, having leather pull straps, a low
Cuban heel and slightly rounded square toes. The
Coffeyville
boot usually had the graft in a different color leather of brown or deep
red.
Texas
cowboys were having stars put on everything. Filigree cut out of the lone
stars, crescent moons and horse shoes were the preferred look of the Texan
cowboy. Now it’s your time to show your Texas Pride.
