The last time I bought a pair of cowboy boots was in Minot, North Dakota, in 1968. They were Acme boots and very ordinary; suede and leather. I loved and wore them everywhere. Afterall, in Ottawa you could not buy a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so mine were the real deal.
Today at lunch at The Ranchmen's Club I chatted with a guy wearing a pair of brown, python cowboy boots and I drifted back. My step-daughter took over my old Acme boots and I never saw them again. But this guy's boots and Calgary itself have me determined to get another pair. He told me they make a last for your feet and you get custom boots. Perfect.
Alberta Boots on Macleod Trail, here I come.
