Women’s Ranch Boot

Introduced in Fall 1987

Up for current auction, a beautiful pair of Women’s Leather Ranch Boots.

From the catalog: “We modified the classic Western boot for women who pound pavements rather than punch cows. The insole is tenderly padded and the outsole covered in rubber, making the boots as luxurious to walk in as they are to look at, The lambskin leather is slightly shrunk to produce its exotic texture. Writer Cyra McFadden, herself descended from rodeo folk, wore them around the urban range for a spell.”

McFadden goes to to say “My lone complaint about these boots is that I can’t wear them to bed.”

Holiday 1987. I think these boots would look great with that teal jumpsuit!
Ranch Boots modeled with the All-Night Flightsuit.
