Living my adult years in Texas has enabled me to work closely with several bootmakers in commissioning custom boots, numbering over 50 pairs. Plus I've been able to order another 10 pairs of bespoke boots of various styles...riding, polo, patrol, engineer from around the world. My off-the-shelf footwear include dress boots from Prada, Gucci, Tom Ford, Zegna, Ferragamo, YSL, Ralph Lauren, Belstaff, Lucchese, and others. If I count all my boots, dress shoes, and drivers, I'm somewhere around 150 pairs, including three pairs of boots I made while studying bootmaking with Randy Merrill in Utah.
