In Day 6 of our series documenting the construction of my bespoke cowboy boots from legendary bootmaker Lee Miller, we are finally at the end! Today is delivery day, so all that remains for Lee to do is give the boots their final shine and then prepare to give them to me. It seemed only fitting that to try on my new cowboy boots, I should wear an outfit that suited, so to mark the occasion, I brought with me my Wrangler jeans, a belt buckle from my Grandfather, and a Lyle Lovett western shirt from Hamilton. Check out the incredible shirt here:

This series follows along the making of a pair of western cowboy boots totally by hand by one of America’s most famous boot makers, Lee Miller. The entire series is comprised of six separate days of filming, each which will be released individually. This is in addition to separate videos documenting the bespoke measurement process, last design, and boot leg design. Links to these videos can all be found below.

As a European, I'd see this sort of footwear as an intrinsically American heritage. Wonderful workmanship and talent.

From the east coast of the USA here, and this definitely feels traditionally American to me as well. I really love the melding of craft and art into what really is a work boot, meant to be used. The individualism of the design also speaks to the individual spirit. I would to love someday own a pair. What a great series this was!!!!

The last series is a wonderful culmination of that journey. Lee is truly a master and I can't wait for my turn to start that journey. You have a beautiful pair of bespoke boots that you can add to your other bespoke footwear.

I love the cowboy stance Lee takes at 15:55 when he's observing Kirby put on the boots...His personal well-worn boots, jeans and stance, just so perfect! Fabulous journey to see art come to life in this way. As a new subscriber, I'm really enjoying your various journeys...

@MichaelCarmichael Жыл бұрын

After watching your entertaining fittings and updates, I am pleased to see the final segment of this journey back into the meaning and tradition of the cowboy boot. The western boot seems to be the ultimate distillation of all American footwear. The cowboy boot takes two pieces of leather and shapes them to the purpose of a perfect fit for the individual foot from heel to toe in a uniquely American way. Of all the custom shoes you have commissioned abroad, Lee Miller's workmanship rises to the level of art. A final point, Lee Miller's personal style is exemplary, what the Italians call 'sprezzatura' - he achieves elegance without dandyism or foppishness. Lee Miller represents the pinnacle of American boot design, craftsmanship and natural elegance - a form of effortless superiority that is neither ostentatious nor elitist. Bravo!

For those of you out there that have been told “ you’re too particular, too fussy, too meticulous to work here,”don’t throw in the towel and conform, stay true to what you believe is right and makes you happy, become a Lee Miller,the world needs you.

When I saw the first filming, I said you folks are top-notch. This is a great ' Docu-film-story ' and the audio is spot on. The lighting was great and the camera work was wonderful. Editing is super good. I'm glad you did not add a lot of background music into the filming and end edits. You made Texas very proud ! What a great film series for people to enjoy for many generations. I think it would be great for you to edit a super short edited filming version to push to your filming series. Perhaps 5 to 8 minutes long and I think you will get alot if views on that to use as a jump start to all the details in the series. Applauds and you should get a honey masters degree in filming from your college or a college in Austin, Texas. I'd be proud to hand you the degree and you will inspire filmmakers for many years onward. Congratulations to everyone! ' He is not a craftsman - he is an engineer and science of feet management!
