Overview
Cody James builds this boot on a taller stacked western heel with a single-stitched channel welt that holds the sole edge trim. Goat leather forms the upper, cowhide lines the top and vamp, and cording runs along the shaft.
The taller heel and slim welt give a classic western profile that works for riding and dressier outfits. It is not water resistant, and the higher heel is less comfortable for long walks.
Who it's for
Riders and people dressing up in western wear suit this boot. Anyone on concrete all day should choose a lower stockman heel.
Pros and cons
- Goat leather upper
- Classic western heel for stirrups
- Low profile channel welt
- Not water resistant
- Taller heel tiring for long walks
- Shaft height not listed
Performance notes
The taller heel tips weight forward and holds a stirrup, which helps riding but tires the foot on long walks. The channel welt holds the sole edge close for a sleeker silhouette.
