Western Boot Resources
Fresh, as in Johnny Ringo's fashion looks of Aztec
designs, Navajo blanket print tops and Southwestern
embroidery. Or Boulet's Paul Brodie series of
Canadian-made boots with Pendleton wool uppers.
Or Gypsy Soule's Peridot and Swarovski-accented
shoes, sandals and f ip-f ops. T e Hudson Oaks,
Texas-based company has become a sister company
with Miller International. "We get their designing
genius and inspiration," Miller's Smith says, "and they
get our back-of ce support and sourcing."
Bed|Stü's line of hand-washed leather boots
are selling well, Tony Sugden says, with the
most popular style being an English-
Western-fashion cross called the
Manchester.
Dan Post is keeping its ladies fashion, especially
when it comes to metallic treatments, more
"middle of the road," designer Dan Ponder says.
"Something the woman can wear more than
once or twice and get a little more usage out of the
boots."
Durango has everything from boots based on
the company's classic engineer boot to logger-
inspired boots to boots with distressed leathers
mixed with canvas. Plus bridal-inspired boots and
traditional styles based on the company's heritage
to boots with three removable leather
straps for a completely customized look.
Plus … a bottle opener. "Every girl needs
that," Vanwy says.
Tanner Mark is selling its glittered, laser-cut
Western fashion boots from Sheplers to Bass Pro
Shops.
Lane Boots has 70 percent new styles and is
adding several new studding patterns. "It's really
eclectic but simple enough that it's not overstated,"
LaDane Smith says. "We can of er something to
everybody from the Western store to the boutique
to the biker shop."
Or … boots for everybody.
Short boots are strong at Liberty
Black, and fringe remains popular, but as
sales director Scott Neighbors points out: "I think it just depends
on the store and the customer. T ey're always trying to look for
something dif erent."
Dif erent is why Nocona's Cowgirl Posh line of ers fashion boots
in great colors and sof leathers, while its higher-end Centro line
features higher heels and more intricate details.
Meanwhile, Anderson Bean's Macie Bean line is seeing
success with classic f ower embroidery and more
traditional inlays, and Justin's fashion lines are
moving to a more subdued look.
"Nothing too f ashy, less bling," says Tassie
Munroe, Justin's marketing and public relations
coordinator. "We had that big push with inlay
tooling, but now we're seeing more
demand for a boot you can wear
with everything."
