Boots ... (so good they named them twice - thanks Beejay)

Where did Heyes and Kid buy their boots?

Were they made to measue or "off the peg"?

What did they do if their boots needed repairing?

I found this:

"Cowboys spent as much as a month's wages to have their boots custom made. The only cowboys who wore ready made boots were either inexperienced green horns or cowboys saving their money for the real thing!"

from this blog online:

Thanks for the link, Beejay.

The blog and comments are very interesting; not only the part about boots but also, for example, why cowboys wore different clothes in different climates and what they were.

Of course our boys travelled around a lot so I suppose in " real life" they would have worn pretty much the same.

There was an interesting bit, maybe in the comments, about a possible reason for Kid growing that moustache.

Does anyone know of any fanfic where "boot problems" ie needing new boots, holes in boots, losing boots etc feature?
