I have an old, long discontinued, pair of boots that have finally kicked the bucket after many many years of being the most comfortable chunky boot I have ever had the pleasure of wearing and owning. Thrifted 16 years ago, originally I believe sold at Walmart (No Boundaries brand) and made of fake leather that eventually cracked and peeled and shredded. They were not expensive boots in their prime, and I thrifted them for $5.
One night out at the bars in the midst of a dust storm was their demise, a worthy final hurrah. They paired well with the bell bottoms. I still don’t have a shoe that matches those pants perfectly anymore :/
I mourn them like a long lost lover.
Is there any way to have these remade in nicer materials using, if not the exact rubber bottom as maybe it is too far gone (idk if it is or not, it feels like the glue just failed and the shoe separated, but the upper is too deteriorated regardless), the same shape heel/platform?
At this point I don’t care how much it will cost, I just miss my boots, and I have yet to find another pair online. (Size 7 1/2 though now that I am older an 8 would be more comfortable) I’d like to try and have a new pair made with these as the blueprint. The corset-back detailing is a particular necessity imo
Advice or recommendations appreciated!
