My husband was in a terrible motorcycle accident 25 years ago.. shattering his right femur and totally his right knee. We found that Justin Boots are the only boots that will work for his 2 1/2 inch build up lift he has to have. We have tried others but that do not hold up to the weather, cow manure, clay, wear and tear on an daily basis. Because his lift is quite expensive these boots have to last a year being worned every day no matter what the weather.. I just would like to have his boot sole that has the lift on match the other boot..

The orthopedic repair guy we have found in St Louis, Mo has done the best to try to match but just once in 25 years i wish he could have a pair of boots that looked that same. Maybe you can help me to get this done. We will be married 25 years and this would be a great present...
Thank you for a pair of boots I know I alway purchase and have a lift installed-- and the boots will fit.

My friend Michelle invited me to take a weekend trip with her to Mississippi to visit her family. She had moved to Chicago and was ready for a trip home. I had never been down south before and I was excited to go. It was August of 1992. We got there on a Thursday and we drove by Gilly's Bar as we were coming into town. I couldn't believe it!! I LOVED Urban Cowboy with John Travolta!! It was so cool when we went out Friday night. They had the bull you could ride and the biggest dance floor I had ever seen!

There were a group of Michelle's friends that came with us that night. I was sitting at the table and I noticed this cute guy in a cowboy hat by the pool table. Later on he came over to our table to talk to one of his friends that was with our group. Needless to say, we met and I fell for a real country boy! When I told my mom about him she asked if he came with a cowboy hat and and cowboy boots. lol. I told her, actually he does! LOL. He asked me to marry him in December of 1992. We set a date for April of 1993. I was getting nervous as March rolled around because I could not for the life of me think of a wedding gift for him. I made a trip back down to MS on the train and when he picked me up from the train station I noticed his boots looked a little worn out. Then it hit me!! I would get him a new pair of boots to wear for our wedding. We had decided to go with western style tuxes and bolo ties for the guys.

I remember seeing a Justin Boot company ad in a magazine and ordered a pair for him. They were the classic black with silver tips on the toes. They were beautiful! When I gave them to him he had the biggest smile on his face and said "My first pair of boots were made by Justin and I've never worn anything else, I knew I fell in love with you for a reason" I thought that was too cute! We are going to re-new our wedding vows in April of 2009 and I know EXACTLY what my gift to him will be. YEP, a pair of black Justin Boots with silver tips on them!

I never really had quite the interest in boots until I was being and good friend by provided company at a County Bash concert. I don't normally enjoy country music as I perfer rock better, so this was a new experience for me. I wanted to fit the part at least by getting some REAL boots for the occasion. I previously only owned hiking and duty boots. While I was out shopping my friend had mentioned to me that she remembered that her boss had gotten a new pair for a change of style and was going to give the old pair to Goodwill, in hopes of someone else enjoying them. I offered to help her find them so that I could wear them for the event. After a little work and cleanup, they looked brand new again. The Black Cherry styling is unreal with the two tone deep red and black, these boots match almost anything. Plus the dressy look of this boots allows a low-key sounthern guy like me to enjoy some up-beat country music outdoors, dress up in jeans for a night out, or maybe wear with my dress cloths to the office.

So I'm happy to say in found pair of boots I really quite enjoy. Those same boots have lead me to enjoy this type of foot wear and lead me to looking into the purchase of my first new owned pair. I want that new pair to be a pair of Justins. The only problem is which pair.

I am a mother of three daughters and about 16 years ago I took them to TNT western Wear. We were looking for boots for our trip to the local county fair. I didn't have a lot of money but the Justin Ropers were on sale, but just two different colors. I bought three pair of ivory ones and one pair of salmon colored. My oldest daughter got the only pair of salmon ones, but soon after traded me for the ivory/bone ones. I wore my Justins for the next 16 years. My husband kept trying to get me to buy a new pair for many years, but I couldn't part with them. Recently my Justins finally gave out and split completely across the sole. While I was at work, and my oldest daughter was down visiting, they took off to the boot store and purchased me a new pair of brown Justins to match my husbands. I put them on my feet and loved the way they felt. We went out dancing that night. We now have 4 grandchildren and we have decided to take them out real soon to purchase them their first pair of Justin Ropers. Justin Ropers last and last and I love everything about them. Keep up the great craftsmanship.

O.k, here's one of my fondest and funniest memories from a Christmas party about 5 years ago.

I worked for a national home builder who held their annual party at the Fort Worth Stock Yards one particular year. The employer experienced a fantastic year of profits and decided to reward all the employees and their spouses with a pair of brand new Justin Boots (Awesome!).

So as we all received our new boots. Some freinds and I were all gathered around at this huge table visiting and cutting up, having a good ole time, when this distinguished gentlemen came up to our table and began to speak to us. He asked if we were have a good time and if we liked our new boots. Now, I knew who this guy was, but for some of the others who hadn't been with the company for very long didn't.

So back to the story, we began to go more in detail about the boots and how we all have worn Justin boots for as long as we can remember. One of the gentleman's questions to us was "I'm not a boot guy, are these comfortable boots?" Just about all replied "They are the best!" and one guy said "Especially once you have them broken in." The gentleman replied "What do you have to do to get them broken in?" A guy next to me (who I think had had a little too much to drink) looks at the man and jokingly says, "Well I could strap mine on and kick your @$$ and that would break them in wouldn't it?"

As I was in complete disbelief as to what I had just heard I thought I had better do something--QUICK. So I introduced my wife to the distinguished gentlemen and I told her out loud "He's the Regional President of our Company." You can imagine the look on the face of the guy sitting next to me who had just offered the guy who employs him a good ole fashioned butt whippin'. Even though the President, who had a good laugh, shrugged it off, the guy next to me was SURE he had to clean his desk out on Monday. He remained employed and gave the company a huge laugh and a story I will never forget.

So remember this, no matter how excited you are to get a new pair of Justin boots for Christmas, never offer to break them in by whooping up on someone. TRUE STORY.

Happy Holidays,
Will Strawn
