I don't own any of their Cowboy boots but I do own a pair of Sendra engineers and I must agree with you, Sendra makes some awesome boots(especially for the price!)

I just placed a pair of D. W. Frommer full Ostrich boots on the classified forum 10 D
They are to small in the instep for my feet

Mercury Leather only takes orders for 10 custom pair per yr. This custom pair was priced at $5K.
Just incredible.

Being a rancher he makes a line of plain-Jane ranch boots & buckaroo’s that are sold off the shelf locally, mostly. They last forever.

What's the heights on these, it seems taller than regular ones? The details are amazing

I know this is an old thread but I came here specifically for Los Altos reviews. I totally agree about the quality and selection. I have a full quill ostrich and a bullhide. They are very comfortable too..

Dan Post. I haven't had a pair in close to 30 years, and these definitely don't hold a candle to the old ones, but I really liked the toe shape, and I imagine they're as good or better than anything Ariat builds. Plus I nabbed 'em off ebay for about $60 so I can't find much fault with them for that price....although it'd be another story at full retail.
I have a pair of elephant skin Dan Posts from 1987. My girlfriend (now wife) was doing an internship at a western wear store and cowboy boots were a big thing on the college campus at the time. She bought these on "layaway" (the owner was a great guy and thought the world of her). The owner let her put $5 down and told her to pay a little bit every now and then AND let her take them to give to me. I wore them once or twice a week for the last half of that school year and then they went in a closet until September 2023. Now, I only wear them when we go to a rodeo (1-3 times a year since 2023).
About that layaway program... The boots were priced at $199 then. My girlfriend/wife paid the initial $5. She can't remember if she made one or two additional $5 payments before the owner closed up shop and told her to not worry about the rest. So she got a heck of a deal for these boots. The bone color was big in 1987 (today, I wish they were a darker shade). However, they are surprisingly the most comfortable things I have ever put a foot into. Here is a picture of them.
The soles are still original and you can still clearly see the logo on the heel.

Nice!
Sounds familiar. My wife was working at a western store in a mall in 1983 when she bought me my first pair of (adult) cowboy boots. Just black calf, but Dan Posts and I still have them. Seen at this link:

Dinerman, I've seen a lot of Frye boots over the years but this may be the first time I've seen that model. Nice find on the boot bag.
^^^^ This post cracks me up as I went pretty far down the cowboy boot rabbit hole since then.
Those are nice looking boots. Today's Dan Posts just don't seem nearly as nice compared to the 1980's boots, huh?Nice!

They most certainly do not.
Was in Cody, Wyoming for fly fishing a week ago. Went to Mercury Leather. Was hoping to get some custom boots measured. There is a 3 year wait and I knew they were expensive, start at $5,000.. Wasn't going to wait three years. They did, however, have some Kemo Sabe boots that are infinitely customizable for $1,000. Kemo Sabe is the old J.B .Hill brand. They looked really nice as display models. I think they take about a year. Also I think the order book is now closed for new orders of Custom Mercury boots.
