Don't see elephant much. Rather have kangaroo on the shafts, but goat is good. I don't like to spend that much money, but if they had those in black, I'd come awful close.
IMO, the best boots are elephant. Last pair I had, I resoled them twice and had heels put on them three times. I wore holes in the uppers and those elephant bottoms still looked good. In my younger days, I had several pairs of sharkskin boots...The elephants outlasted them three to one.

Nah, bespoke is pricey.
$1800 for sharks.

Jolly, scroll down about halfway. Not sure it's the same model, but they're black.

Sorry...
1st generation son of post-WWII (legal) immigrants here. I remember, at age 6, telling my parents that a toy I wanted for Christmas was too expensive. It was immediately post-"Santa revelation."
Not for me.
Cool, but not for me.
I still clip coupons and look for credit card rewards ($600 this year).

Didn't see them on the first site, only the grey ones. O-S would make me up a pair. but I'd burn close to $2K by the time I got what I wanted. Too rich for my blood.

I've never had a pair, but guys that have, tell me it's like having a tailor-made suit...It just fits like nothing else. And wears like nothing else.

Could be. I don't remember the last time I wore a suit.
Oh, yeah, I do...2016.
And wears like nothing else.
When you wear a piece of clothing once in 5 years, that's not a huge selling factor, LOL.

Yes, but just think...You could have them made up with spur ridges on the heels and the different way the foot attaches to the shaft, so that the front of your spur strap stays more secure.

Or...maybe an off-the-shelf, but made for a working cowboy...
